New Partnership

Project Karman is now partnering with AeroTech and Triton Space Technologies to test methods of igniting our sustainer stage! Read more about it on our home page. The Karman team will be testing this system on our first two stage rocket at LDRS on April 8th!

Successful flight!

The NUSS Lazarus was launched on May 11th at MDRA, with a completely successful test flight. The projected apogee was 1889ft, while the altimeters reported an altitude of 1884ft. The rocket flew perfectly straight in the 15mph winds, and all systems worked as intended, verifying the viability of the experimental CO2 ejection system, and dual deployment using a Tender Descender. The NUSS Lazarus will go on to serve as the sustainer stage to Karman’s first 2-stage test rocket to be flow at LDRS on April 7th 2017.
