Hi, we are Project Nixus of Warr Rocketry. We are a Student group of the Technical University of Munich, dedicated to launching our ethanol and liquid-oxygen fueled sounding rocket at the student contest EuRoC in October 2024 in Portugal. At our last contest participation in October 2023, our project won the EuRoC New Space Design Award, which honors the team with the most technically complex and sophisticated system.

To launch an even more refined rocket in 2024 we are iterating our system regarding major propulsion, fluid and structural components. Our biggest improvement will be a 200 bar pressure vessel for our Ethanol fuel – completely made out of Carbon Fiber. Our propulsion system will be reworked to a new and even more efficient regeneratively cooled, 3d printed combustion chamber. We are testing our propulsion system in a series of hotfires at our testing facility at the university campus. These improvements lead a big step for this project and form the foundation of our future goal, surpassing the Kármán-Line and with that, entering space.
