In late June and early July, engineers from Lukasiewicz-Aerospace Institute carried out an overseas launch campaign aimed at launching the ILR-33 BURSZTYN 2K suborbital rocket. On Wednesday, July 3, 2024, at 13:09, their mission was successful. The rocket, launched from Andøya Space in Norway, reached a ceiling of 101 km, the conventional limit of space.
Our guests today, Paweł Stężycki and Michał Pakosz from Łukasiewicz – ILOT, will talk about the behind-the-scenes of this mission, as well as what distinguishes the rocket they constructed and whether Poland will soon become a competitor to SpaceX.
