Built to perform. The Phoenix 1 rocket is among the most daring student rocket projects ever conceived. Set to launch from our very own Spaceport at Utsira in Rogaland, Norway. This rocket stands at an impressive 8 meters of length, with a powerful engine able to produce up to 16 kN of thrust. A test launch in 2025 will be followed by an attempt to reach space, possibly as early as 2026.

Liquid Bipropellant Pressure Fed Rocket Engine

Built for reliability. The Berserkr 310 is made from Inconel 718, a Nickel-based superalloy and boasts an impressive 16kN of thrust. 3D-printed using Selective Laser Melting (SLM) techniques with the help of our sponsor DMG MORI, this engine is a testament to UiS Aerospace’s commitment to develop serious flight-hardware that can be rigorously tested before launches, and reused for multiple flights.

Igniter 400-B-2 “Iggy”

Our very own Igniter (totally not copied from official NASA drawings) uses gaseous Hydrogen and Oxygen to produce a flame to ignite the propellants coming out of the Injector Plate.

Injector Plate

Ensures proper mixing of liquid propellants in the combustion chamber.

Rideshare Payload

Giving 5 different high school student groups a unique and amazing oppurtunity to bring their own 10x10x10cm payload aboard our rocket.

Ribs

Designed to ensure the inner structure remains stable, providing flexibility for mounting all internal components while keeping them securely in place.

Combustion Chamber

Contains the forces of the combustion and ensures thrust is produced by accelerating particles through a nozzle section.

Airframe Couplers

Attaching the fuel tanks with the forward and aft airframe. Ensuring stability and dimensioned to withstand a trip to outer space.

Recovery system

This dual mortar prarachute system ensures a reliable deployment of the parachutes. Resulting in a safe landing of our beloved rocket.

Engine Shroud

Designed to protect the engine from extreme temperatures and aerodynamic forces during flight. Made with filament wounded glass fiber and forged carbon fiber.
