Wasserstoff ist schwer zu handhaben. Der Trend geht daher zu leichten Kohlenwasserstoffen wie Methan. Auch #IsarAerospace und die #RFA gehen in diese Richtung. #RocketFactory Augsburg setzt auf gestufte Verbrennung, die auch #SpaceX für #Starship verwendet.
Die Rakete von #HyImpulse soll von Paraffin 🕯️ angetrieben werden https://www.spektrum.de/news/microlauncher-das-grosse-geschaeft-mit-den-kleinen-raketen/1842658
