#Firefly recovery update! 🪂 We just tested a new idea for our drogue chute deployment mechanism! With help from René Fléron and his vacuum chamber at @DTUSpace, we could test it at pressures similar to the launch scenario! 🥳 Thanks for the help! #ActualRocketScience #DTUdk

Have you always dreamt of building and launching record breaking rockets? 🏆🚀 Now is your chance!! Apply here: danstar.dk/join-us/ We look forward to launching with you! 🔥 #LaunchWithUs #ActualRocketScience #StudentRocketeers #DTUdk #DanSTARdtu

Merry Christmas and happy holidays from us and ours to you and yours 🎄🎁 And of course, as is tradition; here's one of our favorite space-themed Christmas tree ornaments! 👨‍🚀🌝 #RocketeeringAroundTheChristmasTree #HappyHolidays #DTUdk #DanSTARdtu

New project alert! 📢 With the goal of testing our recovery system, and serving as the first step to gain knowledge in solid rocketry: we are happy to announce our first solid rocket project, Firefly!🔥🦟​ Headed to @Spaceport_Cup June 2023!🎆Exciting times! #ActualRocketScience

A couple of weeks ago we attended the #dtubluedot ceremony🎉​ By being a part of the blue dot portofolio, @dtudk has been a huge support! We are very grateful! We loved to har about the other blue dot projects ⚗️🏎️️​ #ActualRocketScience #DanSTARdtu #DTUdk #StudentRocketeers

Building a #rocket brick by brick 🧱 🚀 Enjoy this #animation made by one of our members, depicting the @LEGO_Group version of our very own #launchrail. 👷 #ActualRocketScience #DanSTARdtu #DTUdk #StudentRocketeers #lego #LEGOideas

Today we want to thank @Tuborgfondet Without their help, our world record this past fall wouldn't have been possible 🙏 We have been given a page on their website where we explain what we do, and how the donations has helped us. Take a look here: shorturl.at/etwU7

Have you ever wondered what its like to design a printed circuit board? Maybe you should try DanSTARs PCB workhsop?​ The workshop starts from next week on, so hurry and sign up by joining the facebook group through the link below! We cant wait to see you! facebook.com/groups/1280090…

This week concluded this year's European Rocketry Challenge, and thus a lot of European rocketry team's projects - and so we had a little celebration in the honor of EuRoC and all the amazing rocket launches!🎈Can't wait to see you all next year! 🚀🔥 #ActualRocketScience #EuRoC

@HusseinEngr Exactly! 🚀 thank you for your support! 🙏

@DanSTAR_dtu Absolutely, take your time. We need to see it in the sky.

We are sad to inform that we will not launch Fornax this year. It has been an incredibly hard decision to make, but nonetheless the right one at this time. We will come back stronger - Fornax will someday soar through the skies as she is destined to, as #ActualRocketScience🚀✨

@BetterSneaklone Thank you! We alway put a lot of effort into the names of our projects 🚀🚀

A massive thank you to @DTUSkylab, @DTUtweet and everyone working there for providing an amazing workspace for us to #design and #build our #record-breaking #bi-liquid #rocket! Let's keep it up! 💪🏼 #DanSTARdtu #DTUdk #ActualRocketScience #StudentRocketeers

Most of our fluid system in the #rocket is composed of @Swagelok parts - and maybe not surprisingly they were some of the only components to survive our previous rocket Valkyrie’s impact with the ground! So of course, we are using #Swagelok again for #Fornax🔩

✅ Flowtest of engine complete! 🚿 We are using the same engine design as last year, so we were quite happy to see that the flow coefficients were almost the same. Great work from @TeknologiskInst 3D printing the engine! 🚀 #ActualRocketScience #DTUdk #AdditiveManufacturing

The #Fornax mission patch is here!🟣 As with everything we do in @DanSTAR, we've put a lot of thought into this design; from its color palette to the smallest of strokes, each representing our goals 🚀 #ActualRocketScience #DanSTARdtu #DTUdk #StudentRocketeers #MissionPatch

With EuRoC just around the corner we know that the excitement levels are through the roof! 🚀 So, to push the excitement levels even further, we present to you our EuRoC presentation video for #Fornax 🟣🇵🇹 #ActualRocketScience #DanSTARdtu #DTUdk #StudentRocketeers

Being a partner in @Teknologipagten’s network is simply amazing. Teknologipagten has since 2018 provided an ever increasing #forum and hub for #organisations, such as ourselves, to help boost the awareness and interest of #STEM focused #education and #skills 📚

In rocketry, what goes up must come down GENTLY. So yesterday we had the pleasure of giving @DanSTAR_dtu a course in parachute packing prior to their recovery system test campaign. Their team is busy finishing the bi-liquid Fornax rocket for the European Rocketry Challenge.🚀
