Aim of the project<\/h4>

The ILR-33 AMBER 2K rocket is a suborbital vehicle designed by the \u0141ukasiewicz Research Network \u2013 Institute of Aviation. It is offered as an autonomous product as well as a research platform. The main stage is propelled by a hybrid rocket motor and is assisted by two solid rocket strap-on boosters, which enable adapting the mission to specific payload needs.<\/p>

Short description of the problem addressed by the project<\/h4>

AMBER is a sustainable suborbital vehicle used to conduct upper-atmospheric and microgravity research.<\/p>

The rocket is being developed with future scientific and industrial users in mind. It is expected that the rocket will provide cost-efficient, dedicated access to microgravity conditions at high altitudes, allowing for atmospheric sounding and astronomy missions.<\/p>

In the near term, the rocket will be used as a technology platform within the satellite sensing and communication system for the suborbital rockets (SUBCOM) project and it will transport the communication payloads. Four rockets are currently being built. Options for launching sounding rockets from Europe are usually restricted to Black Brants and other American or Brazilian rockets launched from Norway and Sweden. The institute\u2019s suborbital in-flight experimentation platform, the ILR-33 AMBER rocket, has been the workhorse for propulsion and space transportation technologies development, including HTP.<\/p>
