7. Two-stage test rocket powered
by two rocket motors
Both stages equiped with
parachute recovery modules
Simple, low-cost rocket testing
the possiblity of developing the
full scale two-stage sounding
rocket
Amelia 2

Mission profile
8. Two stage rocket
Height: 2214 mm
Diameter: 94 mm
Mass at liftoff: 7,2 kg
Ceiling: 3 km
Materials: composites,
duraluminum

10. Aerothermodynamic analyses in ANSYS Fluent –
main body
All elements modeled in CATIA
Loads calculated analitycaly, use of FEM (ANSYS)
Developed computer software:
- solid rocket motor optimization
- interior ballistics simulations
- composite case optimization
Design methodology
12. The same rocket motors in both stages
during the first flight (simplicity)
Self-developed technology
- reusable composite solid rocket motors
Ammonium Perchlorate composite propellant
Specific Impulse - 225 s
Rocket motors
For the Amelia 2 rocket
• 0,43 kg of solid rocket propellant
• Composite structure
• Propellant mass fraction > 45%

15. Using the knowledge
earned during the
development of the
two-stage Amelia 2
and the simultaneously
developed one stage
CanSat Launcher
