The Students' Space Association of the Warsaw University of Technology is constantly looking to the sky. The young scientists presented a rocket that will soon compete with similar designs from around the world.
Breakthrough project for Warsaw students
After many months (the work began January 2023), SSA members were finally able to show off the largest rocket in the history of the association - Twardowsky 2. The official presentation took place in the Main Building of the Warsaw University of Technology on May 28. As the team points out, the construction is groundbreaking in many ways.
During the construction, which involved about 40 people, numerous innovative solutions were used. The students used 3D printing in aluminum and titanium, implemented active pressurization and swirl injectors, and took care of a valve that allows the engine to shut down earlier. „These are new additions to our association and a huge milestone on the road to constantly improving the quality and reliability of our designs” - the designers emphasize.
