ACTOR

We take part in the REXUS 17/18 campaign and our experiment will fly on a sounding rocket which will take off in March 2015. WHO is ACTOR? What does ACTOR do?

ACTOR is a group of five students from the Rheinisch Westfälische Technische Hochschule in Aachen (RWTH Aachen). Michel Busen, Nina Körtzinger and Tobias Meinert study Engineering with the specialization on Aerospace. David Bierbüsse studies Electrical Engineering. Michael Stankowski studies chemistry. The REXUS program allows students of universities and other higher educational establishments in

Europe to carry out scientific and technological experiments on rockets for high altitude research. Every year two rockets take off with each up to five experiments on board. These experiments have been designed and built by the student teams. With our experiment we want to study cellulose aerogels. This is a new material that can be used for isolation purposes on space flights in the future. Because it is not possible to reproduce the conditions of space in a laboratory the testing of these cellulose aerogels has to take place in space in order to reach realistic results for the use of cellulose aerogels under application oriented conditions.

Launch and Flight of REXUS 18

18/03/2015

Start was successful. As we can say from the ground station our experiment worked. We have to check the data of our camera when we receive our modul. Then we know if we have full success.

In 10 minutes starts the test countdown. Hopefully after that the cold countdown will be switched into the hot countdown, so that the lift off of REXUS 18 is expected at 14 PM local time. Its possible to follow the live stream on http://esrange.insupport.se/ We wish all teams good luck :)

Thanks to our sponsors and supporters and to everyone who give us promotion for this project, without whose wholehearted support we could not conceivably have carried through our project on such a scale.
Many thanks!!
