Orion is the fifth rocket of Skyward Experimental Rocketry’s Constellations Program, designed to perform in the 3000m Hybrid category at EuRoC 2025. While inheriting the technical legacy of Gemini and Lyra, Orion represents an evolutionary leap in robustness and efficiency. Featuring a full Carbon design with refined aerodynamics and a tapered tail, it integrates a nitrogen pressurization system and completely renewed avionics for the first time. However, the true essence of Orion lies in its operational resilience. At EuRoC 2025, following a non-nominal first launch caused by an engine anomaly, the rocket was recovered, overhauled, and relaunched in less than 26 hours. This second flight bordered on perfection, reaching an apogee of 2990.6 meters—less than 10 meters off-target—and landing just 18 meters from the objective thanks to the guided parafoil system. Awarded the Design Award for its exceptional engineering and rapid reusability, Orion is not just a rocket; it is a testament to Skyward’s ability to innovate, adapt, and deliver precision under pressure

Æneas is a demo-prototype Liquid Rocket Engine, developed and built entirely by Skyward, with the aim of studying the liquid propulsion field. After an initial feasibility study and a design phase of the engine, production kicked off in February 2024, with tests beginning in May.

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.
