CURRENT PROJECT

PROJECT 1

Combined Propulsion Rocket-based UAV for Stratospheric Observation using Multi-Sensor Integration

  • Develop a foldable fixed-wing UAV based on a micro hybrid-propulsion rocket, capable of reaching an altitude of approximately 30 km in the stratosphere within seconds using the rocket

  • After deployment, the UAV will fly for several hours to perform a mission of constructing a three-dimensional atmospheric database of the stratosphere

  • Both the rocket and UAV will be safely returned to the launch site and vertically landed on an unmanned surface vessel for reuse
