SPACESHOT

Spaceshot is a single stage rocket designed to reach altitudes above the Kármán line (100 km / 62 mi) and speeds in excess of Mach 5, on the largest composite solid rocket motor ever constructed by SRL.

As an organization, we have been working towards the goal of Spaceshot for over four years. Its development has necessitated the inception of the Composite Motor Development program, which has been instrumental in increasing our understanding of solid rocket motors and our growing expertise in their construction. Spaceshot’s unique construction requirements have also prompted initiatives designed to increase our ability to manufacture large scale custom composite components. The Mamba project was created as a testbed for the manufacturing of Spaceshot-sized components, thermal protection system and high altitude flights. As we continue to develop our technology in these fields, we are learning and innovating along every step of the way!

Mission Objectives:

• Composite R-impulse level solid motor

• 350,000+ ft

• Mach 5

• Experimental payload space
