‘blueShift Aerospace is proud to announce the launch of the Stardust 1.0 prototype sounding rocket from the Loring Commerce Centre in Limestone, Maine, in late 2020. Inside of Stardust’s payload bay, the PEARL™, will be two 3U Cubesat customer payloads, one academic and one commercial.
This low-altitude technology demo launch represents the culmination of 6 years of R&D, over 200 engine tests, 50+ launch stakeholder interviews, the successful completion of grants from NASA and the Maine Technology Institute, and the development of our novel, modular hybrid rocket engine powered by an Earth-friendly, bio-derived fuel – the MAREVL.’
