This is a green propulsion hybrid motor based on Nammo Hydrogen Peroxide technologies.
The Nammo Raufoss AS 30 kN hybrid engine is the primary power unit for of the Nucleus Sounding Rocket. This unique clean, green powered engine has been used on the maiden flight for Nucleus, and is in the process of being optimised under an ESA FLPP contract.
The Unitary Motor can be supplied with or without the accompanying components for the full propulsion system. Nammo Raufoss has the expertise to engineer the system to meet your flight requirements.
