Sounding Rockets

Excellent launch possibilities

Since the early 1970s, we have launched over 600 sounding rockets and designed and developed more than 100 scientific rocket experiments and payloads, offering services to scientists and space organizations worldwide.

SubOrbital Express

Rapid access to Space and back

SubOrbital Express provides researchers, scientists and commercial companies with quick and easy shared-ride access to near-space microgravity conditions. We have the expertise you need in mechanics, electronic and power design, advanced software engineering, experiment system engineering, mission system and engineering. We are there to provide you with customized design and development of experimental payloads, a safe launch and real-time experiment monitoring through to quick land recovery.

Development and design

Together with our Eurolaunch partner DLR-MORABA we analyze the vehicle trajectory, loads, and stability. We also design structural parts of the vehicle including inter-stage adapters and nose cones.

We build service modules with telemetry, tele command, and support devices for science experiments and technology demonstrations.

We offer a high-speed data-link, specially designed for transferring data across long distance for high altitude balloons and a new system for measuring of winds before rocket launches.
