The AQUASONIC project is aimed to develop a sounding rocket including a hybrid propulsion system based on the propellant combination Nitrous Oxide and Polyethylene. It takes place in the frame of the STERN (Student Experimental Rockets) programme founded by the German Space Agency (DLR) in order to promote students in the area of launch vehicles. Main element of the project is the AQUASONIC rocket, which shall reach an altitude of 5-6 km and a velocity of MACH 1. All major activities like design, manufacturing, verification and finally the launch campaign, which shall take place at Esrange Space Centre in April 2016, are done by students. Thus, students are able to apply their skills and knowledge to a real project like it is conducted by the space industry or research organisations.
