ADV3

ADV3

ADV3 will be the upper stage of Aspire 2 and will be used to thoroughly test all of the systems for use in the latter vehicle. It will be powered by a LOX/HDPE hybrid engine similar in size to the H20, but using composite materials for the LOX tank and combustion chamber. The Total Impulse of the motor will be approximately 25700 Newton-seconds, making it a lower-range 'O' class motor in High Powered Rocketry parlance.

Research and development of the composite LOX tank began at Delft University in Holland, and now continues in-house.

Fired just on its own, we estimate that ADV3 will reach an altitude of 25 km, confirming AspireSpace as the leading amateur rocketry group in the United Kingdom.

Further details of ADV3 will be made available once the design of this vehicle has been completed.
