Since N\u2082ORTH is a new launch vehicle, we need to make sure it performs as expected. That is why we limited the oxidizer mass and launcher elevation for the first launch. Since the first launch showed a high agreement between the simulated and real trajectory, we are now allowed to increase the oxidizer mass and launcher elevation for the second launch attempt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Are both rockets identical?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Both N\u2082ORTH rockets feature the same component design with one exception: The first N\u2082ORTH rocket features an oxidizer tank with an aluminum liner. The oxidizer tank of the second N\u2082ORTH rocket is a liner-less Type V pressure vessel with a ETFE coating on the inside to ensure compatibility with nitrous oxide. This reduces the rocket mass by 7.7 kg. Originally, it was the plan to have two rockets with liner-less tanks, but that was not possible due to delays in the supply chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How can I watch the launch?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The launch will take place no earlier than 12:00 CEST \/ UTC+2. The Swedish Space Corporation SSC will provide a livestream on their YouTube channel. We will keep you updated on the launch via our website and social media in the following days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"![\"\"](\"https:\/\/hyend.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/BlogPostTitles-1024x340.png\")
