WARR

A big thank you for being such an important part of WARR Rocketry's project Nixus! Your GOETZE 492 safety valve ensured a reliable pressure regulation in our tanks. Its precision, especially during fueling, was critical and helped us achieve a smooth and successful launch of the EX-4B rocket. With your valve, we could manage precise pressure control using nitrogen at 60 bar and ensure safe pressure relief throughout the process. The recognition we received — like the Team Award and the L3 Award — is something we couldn’t have achieved without your support. Thank you again for providing your excellent technology and for being part of our success! Best regards, WARR Rocketry🚀

🥳 Voller Erfolg für die Studierenden der TU München! Bei der European Rocketry Challenge stellte der von uns geförderte Verein WARR Rocketry einen Rekord auf: Die Ex-4B Rakete ist die erste von Studierenden gebaute, kryogene Flüssigtreibstoffrakete, die in Europa jemals abhob! Außerdem räumten die angehenden Ingenieur*innen bei dem Wettbewerb in Portugal mit ihrem Projekt Nixus gleich drei Preise ab: 🏆 Team Award: Auszeichnung für außergewöhnliche Teamarbeit, Organisation, Vorbereitung, Kommunikation und vorbildlichen Teamgeist – intern, mit anderen Teams und dem Veranstalter. 🏆 L3 Flight Award: Würdigt eine Rakete mit minimaler Abweichung von der Zielhöhe, einwandfreiem Zustand nach Bergung und überzeugender Gesamtleistung in Konzept, Simulation, Integration, Steuerung und Umsetzung. 🏆 Payload Award: Anerkennung für die beste, innovativste und gesellschaftlich relevante Nutzlast mit hoher fachlicher Qualität, zuverlässigem Design und beeindruckender Umsetzung. Wir gratulieren herzlich zum herausragenden Erfolg bei dem Wettbewerb und sind stolz, diese gelungene, erfolgreiche Initiative unterstützen zu können! Wir sind schon gespannt auf die Weiterentwicklung des Projektes und die nächste EuRoC! #EuRoC24 #Rocketry #TÜVSÜDStiftung

"Pump-fed rocket engines are essentially pump projects with a combustion chamber bolted on for dramatic effect." A bit of a tongue-in-cheek joke, but there’s some truth to it—especially when you’re designing engines with electric pumps like we are at WARR Rocketry. Before throwing our new members into LOX and Ethanol, we wanted to start them off with the fundamentals of pump design. As part of their onboarding, the newcomers took part in a friendly competition to design a centrifugal water pump using CFturbo and FDM additive manufacturing. Their designs were judged on two fronts: head produced (performance) and manufacturing considerations (practicality). It was great to see so many creative solutions and thoughtful engineering approaches emerge during this exercise. A big thank you to CFturbo for providing us with the tools to bring engineering concepts to life, whether for water pumps or rocket engines! 🚀 With the next generation of WARR Rocketry engineers now onboarded, we’re full steam ahead—spinning up ideas (and impellers) to push the boundaries of student rocketry. #rocketengineering #WARRRocketry #CFturbo #pumpprojects #studentengineering

Three days among space enthusiasts, renowned international companies, and promising startups in the space industry may sound like a dream - but last week, during the Space Tech Expo Europe 2024 in Bremen, it became an exciting reality for six of our members. We had a great time meeting key players in the industry and listening to informative keynotes. See you next year, Bremen!

A Heartfelt Thank You to the TUM - Chair of Carbon Composites (LCC) at Technische Universität München! Without the help of the TUM Chair of Carbon Composites, both in expertise and resources, our WARR Rocketry team would not have been able to build and launch the Nixus Rocket EX-4B. Our success in launching Europe’s first student-built bi-liquid rocket and receiving three awards at the EuRoC 2024 competition is largely due to support like this. Additionally, we built the EX-1E from project WESP at the LCC as well. We launched and recovered this rocket successfully at the Spaceport America Cup 2024 in New Mexico, USA this June. The EX-4B’s and the EX-1E's structure is predominantly composed of carbon and glass fiber reinforced polymers, manufactured in various ways such as lamination, SMC (sheet molding compression), and filament winding. For structural simulations of all our CFRP components, we have greatly benefited from the expertise of the chair, especially in the design and manufacturing of filament-wound components. Filament winding itself is a major advantage for WARR Rocketry, as we are able to use the chair’s own 5-axis CNC winding machine to manufacture our lightweight, load-bearing CFRP structure. Using similar processes, we have also started developing Type 5 pressure vessels made from pre-impregnated carbon fiber wound on dissolving salt cores. The LCC’s testing laboratories have further supported us, allowing us to verify components such as our hold-down mechanism. Thank you, LCC, for always supporting us in so many ways. To further cooperation between the Chair of Carbon Composites and WARR. Special thanks to Swen Zaremba, Kalle Kind, Youssef Mraidi, Gabriel Rojas Diaz and Rainer Rauch!

Last Week Was Amazing: ESA Fly Your Satellite! Design Booster Training (11th–15th November) I had the incredible opportunity to represent the student CubeSat team MOVE from the Technische Universität München and WARR at the ESA Fly Your Satellite! Design Booster Training in Noordwijk, Netherlands. 🛰 The week was filled with fascinating lectures on CubeSat development, inspiring discussions with ESA experts, and engaging conversations with students from many other exciting CubeSat projects across Europe. A huge thank you to ESA Academy for organizing this amazing experience and to my wonderful team for their support and collaboration. 🙏 📸 Credit: The first picture was taken by Cristina del Castillo Sancho / Luca Bartolucci / European Space Agency - ESA

Recently our WARR Rocketry team had the incredible opportunity to visit MT Aerospace AG, Germany’s largest manufacturer for Europe’s #Ariane6 rocket. Known for developing cutting-edge components, MT Aerospace is driving innovation in the aerospace sector. The visit began with a fascinating introduction to the company’s history, followed by an exclusive tour of their impressive factory halls. A big thank you to Peter Ortmann for sharing valuable insights into their manufacturing processes, including #CFRP technologies and #additive manufacturing. These technologies sparked exciting ideas for incorporating industry-leading innovations into future WARR Rocketry projects. We’re truly grateful to MT Aerospace for hosting us and look forward to exploring more opportunities for collaboration in the future. #Aerospace #Innovation #Engineering #StudentTeams #WARR
