Reaction Dynamics is transitioning to the final build phase of the Aurora-1 vehicle following the completion of the CDR.
The Aurora-1 is 7.3 meters tall and uses the RE-102 hybrid rocket engine that burns a unique pelletized plastic-based fuel.
The first test launch of the Aurora-1 is planned for the spring of 2026 from the Koonibba Test Range in Australia.
Reaction Dynamics (RDX) has completed its Critical Design Review (CDR) for its two-stage suborbital launch vehicle, the Aurora-1.
The maiden flight of the Aurora-1 is designed as a qualification test for the RE-102 hybrid rocket engine.
Mission Space plans to launch its Aurora-1 detectors with EnduroSat in the fourth quarter of 2022.
