HyEnD has arrived in Kiruna and we are very excited and motivated to get to work. Our container with all the rocket components and equipment arrived last week. Although the team arrived in the evening, we have already had the opportunity to see the northern lights, reindeer and to celebrate the birthday of one of our team members.

Today started with a meeting with the SSC team at Esrange to plan the activities for the first few days of our launch campaign. We also clarified the procedures for safely preparing and fueling the rockets for launch. Our main task today was to unload the container and check the rocket and equipment components. We also prepared our workspace for the upcoming integration of our rockets.

For the launch of the rocket, we have designed and built a custom launch rail to be mounted on the rocket launcher at Esrange. Today, we started to install the rail on the launcher, which is required for further assembly and alignment of the rocket components.
