For more than 27 years students and scientists of the Technische Universität (TU) Berlin are developing experimental sounding rockets within hands-on courses. These practical courses teach the knowledge in (sub-) system design, manufacturing, assembly, integration and testing (AIT) and operation of rockets. The applied processes in development, AIT and operation as well as the quality standards are related to the ones in the aerospace industry. The DECAN/AQUARIUS experimental sounding rocket project team, which is also a DGLR junior research group, works on a two-stage rocket where the upper stage is equipped with a solid fuel rocket (DECAN SHARK) and the lower stage with an environmentally friendly water engine (DECAN AQUARIUS). This paper provides an overview of the final integration, test and launch preparation activities of the DECAN AQUARIUS prior to its single stage launch in April 2022. The rockets main components and its payload will be described. Furthermore, the results of the flight of the DECAN AQUARIUS will be illustrated, including an analysis of the in-flight data of the telemetry system.
