Lyra is Skyward’s second hybrid rocket, crafted to compete in the SRAD Hybrid 3000m category of EuRoC ‘24. Despite apparent similarities with its predecessor Gemini, every subsystem in Lyra has undergone rigorous refinement and optimization, as a testament to our commitment to pushing boundaries and embracing innovation. Our mission with Lyra is clear: to create Skyward’s most cutting-edge rocket while learning from the challenges faced by Gemini.

Chimæra is the first Hybrid Rocket Engine, developed and built by Skyward, with the specific aim of flying on a student-developed sounding rocket. It will participate to 2023 EuRoC competition and push Skyward’s rocket to 3000m apogee.

Lynx is a modular rocket with aluminum fuselage and carbon ogive made to participate in Euroc 2021. The apogee target is 3000m achieved thanks to a commercial solid propellant engine (COTS). The rocket is characterized by its transparent elc compartment with internal structure of beams that support the loads and airbrakes with active control to hit the target. The aerobrakes and all the on-board sensors are controlled by the stack designed by our team of electronics and allow a complete data collection even in case of malfunction of the recovery system thanks to a black box.

Rocksanne I-X was the first probe rocket conceived, designed and launched by Skyward. It is a rocket with contained targets and simple technology with an eye to reusability. Once its design lasted a year and a half and the first flight was in November 2013, in prohibitive weather conditions, with snow and blizzard.
