Injector soldering
Dear rocket fans, As you probably remember, we decided to test coaxial swirlers in our BPM5 engine before making a full BPM100 injector. There are two main reasons for this. First, we would like to Read more…
New EDA tool.
The electronics group in Copenhagen Suborbitals has used the somewhat quiet period after the launch of Nexø II to decide, among other things, which EDA (Electronic Design Automation) software is best suited for us. We Read more…
1st swirler data
Dear Rocket Friends, After a bit of getting ready we are now in the process of measuring how our nice little swirlers are performing. As you may remember, we got them milled at PH Spaanteknik Read more…
Bullseye
Dear rocket friends A few weeks ago we went on a field trip to Odense Skydiving Center for yet another parachute test. This time we tested the first Spica space capsule ballute and a minor Read more…
Spica tanks
Dear rocket fans, It is a great pleasure to tell you that we have just ordered materials for the first Spica rocket! Specifically, it is materials for the first Spica rocket propellant tanks that we Read more…
It swirls!
Dear rocket fans, We spent quite a bit of time preparing to solder the first brass swirlers. The idea was to solder them in vacuum. For that we made a nice little stainless steel chamber Read more…
The nitrogen evaporator
Dear readers, Not long ago we received a nice item from PH Spaanteknik which has once again helped us with some CNC machining. Jakob has spent a lot of hours this time and we are very grateful. So, Read more…
Engine breakdown
In Copenhagen Suborbital’s marine department we have come in a somewhat unfortunate situation. We suffered an engine breakdown on one of our ships. You may remember that last year we received a RIB boat from Read more…
BPM-5 with swirlers ?
Dear readers, The first 100 days in the BPM-100 project has come and gone. And no, unfortunately we haven’t got a working engine here in the workshop. We’ve decided to be a little more thorough Read more…
Swirlers
As you probably remember, our BPM5 engine uses a relatively simple injector technology. Simple in the way that it is a cylindrical disc with a whole lot of holes in which leads fuel and LOX Read more…
