Kanagawa University's Hybrid Rocket
The Aerospace Structures Laboratory of Kanagawa University will conduct a flight demonstration in September of a hybrid rocket whose components are being jointly developed with a small and medium-sized manufacturing company in Ota-ku, Tokyo. The target altitude is a maximum of 15 kilometers, and in order to reach this altitude, the vehicle has been made larger than before, and the basic technology will be established with the aim of reaching the target altitude of 100 kilometers by 2022. The ratio of propellant to the total weight of the rocket has also been increased. Up to now, the machining of the parts had been done in the Aerospace Structures Laboratory of Kanagawa University, but with the increase in size of the vehicle, they began to collaborate with companies. "In the future, we want to develop a rocket that can launch small satellites quickly and inexpensively," without using special technology.
