Mission Statement:

To conduct research on the feasibility of using a sublimation–fueled motor for providing low-power venier thrust. The specific impulse of the sublimate camphor will be determined by a static ground test and by deploying the rocket from a sounding rocket at apogee. On board cameras will record the sublimation rocket’s flight parameters. This data will be supplemented by an IMU and a multi-axis accelerometer that will provide a baseline for the payload’s flight trajectory. In addition, a proof of concept test will be performed on a 1U Artemis CubeSat.
