Rockets since 2021

Lynxspace started in 2021 launching small model rockets. It now runs four programmes: a sounding rocket, a fixed-wing UAV, a flight computer and a bench wind tunnel. The avionics are designed and built in house.

Programmes

What we are building

High power rocket

Lynxrocket V5

V1 to V4 were static engineering prototypes and were never flown. V5 carries their changes and is the first of the series built to fly.
