Colibri 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! 😉

Ever wonder how a slice of Gruyère almost caused a #crash? 🧀 On Colibri’s 105m flight, it added aero torque that led to loss of roll #control on descent. For the first time, Colibri missed the pad by 40cm! But our #TVC control remained good, despite the high roll rate! 🔥

Colibri has completed its maiden #flight! 🚀 This is the first time an all-student team has successfully flown a #RocketHopper! The flight went according to plan! The vehicle ascended 1m and #hovered for 8s. And this is just the beginning of our test flight campaign! 🔥

Colibri's 30-meter free flight! 🚀 Flying our hopper is like balancing a pencil. Guided by RTK GNSS, lidars, and INS sensors, the TVC tilts the engine, while cold gas thrusters control the roll. The N2O/IPA 1kN engine, adjustable from 25% to 125% thrust, controls altitude.
