🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #SaxaVord applied for a licence to dispose of #debris from the launch in the sea between 1 July 2026 and 30 June 2027. The rocket’s nose cone and first stage will be jettisoned into a “designated hazard area” in the sea north of #Shetland.

The nose cone is eight metres long and weighs 250 kilograms, while the first stage rocket is 21 metres long and weighs 4.5 tonnes. #HyImpulse is also planning to launch a rocket from SaxaVord in September 2026 https://www.theferret.scot/spaceport-shetland-risk-tourism-fishing/

HyImpulse signs letter of intent with Oman’s spaceport

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://spacenews.com/hyimpulse-signs-letter-of-intent-with-omans-spaceport/

#HyImpulse announced a launch service agreement to begin flying from #SaxaVord 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #Spaceport. The suborbital flight is expected to lift off in Q3.

The vehicle uses a mix of paraffin-based solid fuel and liquid oxygen, and can carry up to 250 kg to an altitude of 200 km. #SR75 is 40% cheaper 💶 than traditional propulsion systems, according to HyImpulse https://payloadspace.com/hyimpulse-signs-launch-agreement-with-saxavord/

#Handelsblatt:
"
Hyimpulse will im Sommer die nächste Rakete starten
"
"Das Start-up könnte schon im August seine zweite suborbitale Rakete von Schottland aus starten. Das Besondere: Beim Antrieb seiner Raketen nutzt Hyimpulse einen ungewöhnlichen Treibstoff."

#HyImpulse powers its rockets with a particularly inexpensive and safe fuel based on paraffin, a type of candle🕯️wax. Paraffin is used in solid form, which eliminates half of all components such as pumps or valves compared to liquid engines. Cooling is also easier. HyImpulse plans its first #spaceflight for the year 📆 2027 https://www.heise.de/en/news/HyImpulse-Millions-for-Planned-Space-Rocket-10773821.html

German launch startup HyImpulse raises 45 million euros

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://spacenews.com/german-launch-startup-hyimpulse-raises-45-million-euros/

While #Germany’s heavy-lift needs will continue to be met by #Ariane6, domestic small-launch providers such as #RocketFactory Augsburg, #IsarAerospace, and #HyImpulse are likely to see a boost in support 💰 https://europeanspaceflight.com/germany-commits-e35-billion-to-space-related-defence-projects/

Starting in 📆 2025, at least two #European 🇪🇺 launch startups (#IsarAerospace and #RocketFactory Augsburg) expect to offer more choices for both institutional and commercial customers. The field will continue to widen toward the close of the decade, with #MaiaSpace, #Latitude, #HyImpulse, #HyPrSpace, #Orbex, #PLDSpace, and #Skyrora all working toward an inaugural flight of their respective vehicles. https://europeanspaceflight.com/arianegroup-already-working-to-secure-iris2-launch-contract

The German 🇩🇪 government has announced that it will make €95 million in additional funding available to support #IsarAerospace, #RocketFactory Augsburg, and #HyImpulse. The funding was “released through reallocations and in some cases also higher subscriptions of German #ESA contributions.” https://europeanspaceflight.com/germany-commits-e95m-more-to-isar-rfa-and-hyimpulse

#Orbex will receive €5.6 million, #IsarAerospace €15 million, and both #RocketFactory Augsburg and #HyImpulse €11.8 million each https://europeanspaceflight.com/esa-awards-e44-2m-in-funding-to-four-european-rocket-builders

The new #Ariane 6 rocket, which is running four years late ⏳ and still hasn't flown, should be the last #LaunchVehicle developed by #ESA, which will launch a competition of #launchers without weight class limitations. The field of startup launch companies in #Europe 🇪🇺 includes German 🇩🇪 firms like #HyImpulse, #RocketFactory Augsburg, and #IsarAerospace; British 🇬🇧 companies such as #Skyrora and #Orbex; and Spain's 🇪🇸 #PLDSpace. #ESA will use around 75 million euros 💰 to pay for the early stages of the #cargo 📦 challenge, which #Aschbacher expects will result in three companies competing with one another https://arstechnica.com/space/2023/11/after-the-sting-of-ariane-6-europe-finally-embraces-commercial-rockets/
