SERA 1
SERA1 was successfully launched on May 7 at 13:00 UTC. The rocket reached an altitude of approximately 5 km and the impact occurred within the A zone. The payload was recovered and back at Esrange at 14:37 UTC.

In order to achieve the 100 km suborbital flight goal, a new
series of rockets are currently under development called SERA (Supersonic
Experimental Rocket ARES).

The main objective is to validate technologies that allow flights at supersonic
speed and altitudes greater than 5 km.

SERA1 is a one-stage rocket propelled by a CESARONI PRO98-6G
Green3 commercial engine.

All the other parts of the rocket are made by students.

  • The lift-off weight is 25,6 kg
  • The nominal apogee is 5,1 km with the ballistic impact 3 km from the launcher.

SSC is delivering the launch service for the SERA1 rocket campaign at Esrange Space Center.
