The AspireSpace Sounding Rocket Vehicle (ASRV) Programme

Each of the current ASRVs are propelled by a commercially available solid propellant motor. Future developments will see the phasing in of more advanced, indigenous propulsion systems developed by AspireSpace.

ASRV Details:

Apogee altitude Time to Apogee
• Total Impulse: 1280 Ns
• Average Thrust: 750 N
• Burn Time: 1.7 s
• Predicted Apogee: 1.6 Km, attained 18 s after lift-off
• Predicted max velocity: Mach 0.65

ASRV Recovery System

ASRV is designed to be re-useable - it will be recovered by a parachute once apogee is attained. The parachute is deployed by ejecting the nosecone, allowing the parachute to deploy.
