Our avionics stack looks amazing, whether in the light or in the dark. With its LEDs, it kind of looks like a dystopian city. This avionics stack is the heart of our rocket, though he have PCBs throughout the entire length - from the nosecone to the fin can. This time, we are gathering more data than ever before - be it through our cameras, sensors, or from our electronic pressure regulator and the recovery's reefing system.

This stack will fly at 2026 later this week, along with our AURORA rocket. Follow us for regular updates!

Some time ago, we assembled AURORA for the first time. With its current paint job, it's even prettier - so stay tuned for future pictures! We will be launching this beauty in Portugal next week at 2026, follow us for updates!

Problems? Not on our watch

But also, don't call me out like that

This week, we built and launched model rockets with school students at the . We also had the opportunity to show them around our workshop and talk about our projects.

Science isn't just about research, it's about sharing your research with the world. We're happy we could attend 2026 and present our research on fiber overwrapped, ablatively cooled liquid engines.

This is our new pyro-actuated gate valve for our next liquid rocket, Aurora. We tested it with nitrous oxide to verify leak tightness and material compatibility. One valve is used in each propellant line to initiate the flow of propellant to the engine just before liftoff.

Thanks to the Materialprüfungsanstalt Universität Stuttgart for letting us test in their facilities.

We recently introduced new team members to our winding machine. This machine was developed in-house and upgraded over the years. It is capable of wet winding with dynamic fibre tension and at nearly any fiber angle. Thank you to Taniq for helping us create the G-Code for our most complex parts.

Have a look at our N2ORTH-3 Rollout Party we held yesterday, August 05th 2026! The rocket and its avionics, contributed by our awesome friends at , are ready for launch. To our guests, thank you for being there and celebrating this milestone on our way to being the first European student team to break the Kármán line with us!
