09.03.2018

Department of Space Technology at the Institute of Aviation completed the tasks under the European project “Hybrid rocket engine for orbital transfer to LEO, MEO and GEO” (HYPROGEO), co-financed by the European Commission under the Horizon 2020 program.

The goal of the project was to develop a satellite propulsion module based on a hybrid rocket engine that uses 98 percent hydrogen peroxide as the oxidant.

The final result of the project is a demo-version of hybrid rocket engine. The consortium of the project was coordinated by Airbus D & S, and consisted of 12 partners from 7 European countries (Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Norway, Poland and Great Britain). The project started in February 2015 and lasted 36 months.
