“In April 2020 ARCA will launch the fully reusable launch assist system test vehicle”No, they will not. They will not launch anything this year. Or next. And then they will switch to a brand new engine technology and the cycle repeats.

They got Girls!!
You guys are going to be so embarrassed when this thing makes it to orbit.
How long before this scam gets closed down by the Romanian government, and fraud charges filed?
Sep 14, 2023On September 12, ARCA attempted to perform Mission 12 and Mission 16 drop tests.During these tests it was intended to lift the 1:6 AMi Cargo capsule and a Reentry Target Vehicle (RTV), with a ballon, and then drop them, to determine de vehicles stability at terminal velocity. Due to stronger wind than expected the flights were postponed for a later date.The AMi capsule is designed to return precious metals like platinum, rhodium, gold from the asteroids and it doesn’t have a recovery parachute, ARCA opting instead for a high lift heat shield and a crash landing with a velocity of around 140km/h. During Mission 12, the capsule will be lifted with a manned balloon and dropped to reach the equilibrium and terminal velocities and then the impact, similar with an asteroid return mission.The team will test the capsule’s terminal stability and the structural integrity at impact, and it will validate via test the values for the equilibrium and terminal velocities.The Reentry Target Vehicle (RTV), a commercial military product used to simulate both nuclear and conventional ballistic missiles warheads will perform a first flight during Mission 16. During the first test flight we will determine the stability of the vehicle near the terminal velocity of Mach 0.6. Mission 16 will be executed in the next days function of weather.

Video description:ARCA and General Astronautics executed a test with the CER-160RT (160mm caliber), canister-based artillery target rocket, currently under military homologation for two European military forces.ARCA and General Astronautics are currently developing a series of military application products consisting of non-offensive target vehicles, designed for the training of anti-artillery rockets, anti-aircraft, anti-cruise missiles and anti-ballistic forces.The CER-160RT rocket, with a sale price of €19,900 is exhibiting a flight altitude of 20 km and a speed of Mach 1.9, while using ecological propulsion, with its engine generating a mix of steam and oxygen.Mission 11 test took place on November 9, 2023 from the COSMOBASE with the objective to validate the launch procedure and the launch sequence involving the canister and the actual vehicle. The vehicle was fuelled with only 8% from its total propellant tank capacity and the engine was throttled-down to keep the same thrust to weight ratio as in the case of a fully fuelled rocket, in order to only perform the canister exit sequence.The test team executed the preparations accordingly to the procedure and the vehicle exited the canister as desired.The CER-160RT can effectively simulate the flight of artillery rockets like the M270 MLRS, M142 HIMARS, BM-27 Uragan, Tornado-G, TOS-1A, LAROM 160, Pinaka, T-122 Sakarya, etc, that can be engaged with systems like the Iron Dome, MANTIS, LPWS, LD-2000.Also, the CER-160RT equipped with passive radar augmentation device, can simulate the radar signature of supersonic attack aircraft allowing the training of forces that are operating anti-aircraft hardware.CER-160, a similar civilian rocket version is available for sale to civilian users, like universities, research centres and even private individuals at the same price of €19,900.Mission 11 test constituted the final rehearsal for the upcoming Mission 15 space launch that will be performed from outside of Romanian airspace.More details about the CER-160 commercial rocket, here: www.ecorocket.spacewww.arcaspace.comwww.ecorocket.spacewww.amiexploration.com
