The mission’s goal was to test key systems and validate solutions implemented in the new PERUN rocket prototype, SpaceForest management announced. The results obtained provide valuable data supporting further technology development and bring the company closer to commercializing space transportation services and conducting experiments in real space conditions.
The rocket is already back at the SpaceForest headquarters, where the analysed data will be used for preparations during the next phases of testing and suborbital flights of PERUN Rocket. Launch 4 is planned for the spring, featuring new experiments and collaboration with the same partners, inter alia, to obtain comparative data – the SpaceForest management anticipates.
