Description
Summary:Within the SR Dorado-project, which started in July 2022, a sounding rocket and its corresponding ground support equipment and test facilities are being developed and manufactured. This work is done mainly by undergraduate students at Technische Universität Dresden in cooperation with STAR Dresden, the student Space Flight Working Group in Dresden. The rocket will utilize liquid oxygen (LOX) and ethanol as propellants and is currently in its development phase. The current development status of the rocket and its support systems is described. Details on specific subsystems like propulsion system, rocket structure, recovery and telemetry system are presented. This detailed system assessment is supplemented with insights into the test bench and ground support equipment design, which are needed for successfully testing engine and propulsion system as well as conducting the launch campaign. The planned launch is currently set for 2025 and will take place at ESRANGE in Kiruna, Sweden.:1 Introduction 2 The rocket 2.1 Recovery system 2.2 Flight computer(s) 2.2.1 PoC Flightmaster 2000 2.2.2 Altus Metrum TeleMega 2.3 Structure 2.3.1 Main airframe 2.3.2 Aerodynamics 2.4 Propulsion system 2.4.1 Rocket engine 2.4.2 Propellant feed system 2.4.3 Pyro valves 3 Ground support equipment 4 Test bench 5 Summary and outlook Acknowledgements References
