Our torch igniter is working wonderfully! 🚀

Here you can see a slowed down 2 seconds successful #ignition test.

Very nice work from a university team.
They already performed two more tests.
If I'm not mistaken, GSP has progressed further with their hopper development than CNES with FORG-H, CNES/DLR/JAXA Callisto and Themis. This shows how capable these students are, and/or how inefficient the other programs are.
I think this team has earned an untethered test campaign at Esrange LC-3A.

has reached 100 meters! 🚀🎉

In 60 seconds, it climbed to 105m, diverted 30m north, and safely landed back to its pad. This is the flight we promised from day one, while no reusable rocket has flown freely in Europe yet!

We did it with a tiny team and under 250kCHF! 😉

It appears the CHEESE is reusable, too (or at least survived the flight).
