Exela's Early Rockets
Our multi-stage rocket that is testing stage seperation and recovery. The first stage is entirely 3d printed.
This rocket's first stage runs on an E12-0 rocket motor and the second stage runs on a C6-7.
This rocket flew for the first time on April 5, 2025 from Maryland. The rocket pitched over heavily, but stage seperation was flawless. This was our first successful staging. Flight 2 will be the final flight of SoberRocket and aim to solve Flight 1's issues.
(Operational)
Our mid-powered rocket that will test payload weight, going supersonic, and going multiple miles high in altitude.
Flight 1: Launched on a E12-6 motor from Amesbury, MA at the CMASS rocketry event. It was fully successful. This flight carried 2 onboard cameras.
(V2 in development)
Partner Projects
Invictus is a 2-stage mid powered rocket that is 4in in diameter and almost 6ft tall. Flight 1 of this rocket used 3 stages but was not successful. Flight 2 ran on a G80T-7 on the first stage and an F15-4 motor on the 2nd stage, but unfortunately only lit its first stage. This rocket helps ASA SXC gain experience.
Onkla SXC has been developing a fully homemade, partially 3d printed model rocket using Thrust Vector Control to steer the vehicle without there being fins on the side of the rocket. This project plays a major role in developing the avionics systems for Aims-1 and could launch in June, 2025.
Outer has been developing the Redshift vehicle for nearly two years now, and is finally preparing to fly it. This vehicle flies on F, G and H class motors and will give Outer their L1 certification by 2026. This will give more of the Exela team L1 level experience in rocketry, furthering the thought behind our programs.
