Historic Milestone: Poland’s First Liquid Fuel Rocket Successfully Launched
Days ago, the first rocket developed in Poland using liquid fuel successfully launched from the Andoya Spaceport in Norway. The rocket reached a height of 101 km, surpassing the symbolic Carmen Line and opening the way for commercial operation. It is intended for researching the upper layers of the atmosphere and is a first step towards designing more powerful Polish rockets.
Groundbreaking Technology: ILR-33 AMBER 2K Rocket
The ILR-33 AMBER 2K rocket was developed by the Lukasiewicz Institute of Aviation, and its successful launch to a height of 101 km marked a historic achievement for the Polish space program. A groundbreaking aspect was the use of 98% hydrogen peroxide as an oxidizer, a significant step towards environmentally friendly technologies in the space industry.
Future Plans: Thorium Space’s Application
The Polish company Thorium Space has already applied for permission to operate the ILR-33 AMBER 2K rocket for scientific research purposes from 2025 to 2027.
