HyPrSpace
HyPrSpace (Hybrid Propulsion for Space) is a rocket startup, founded in 2019, in Bordeaux, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France. It develops orbital (Orbital Baguette-1/OB-1, pronounced Obi-wan) and suborbital (Baguette One) launch vehicles and hybrid propulsion systems.[1][2][3][4]
Funding
[edit | edit source]In 2022, the company raised €1.1 million to develop its rocket.[4][5] In 2024 as part of a consortium (with the companies CT Ingénierie, SpaceDreamS and Telespazio France) it has raises €35 million to develop their launcher Orbital Baguette One (the Le Projet Agile de Développement d'Accès à l'espace 1—PADA1—project), 60 percent of the funding from the French government—as the winner of the France 2030 program supported by the State.[6][2][7][3][8][9][10][11][12]
Rockets
[edit | edit source]Baguette One is 7 metres tall, single-stage suborbital rocket, with a payload capacity of 300 kilograms.[2] The first suborbital mission is planned for 2026.[2] Baguette One will launch from DGA Essais de missiles, a missile testing site in mainland France.[13][14] Orbital Baguette-1 (OB-1) is a 16 metres tall micro-launcher with a payload of 250 kg to 400 km low Earth orbit (LEO).[1][15][8][9][16]
Engine
[edit | edit source]The hybrid engine uses solid fuels (including HDPE) in combination with a liquid oxidizer and doesn't need a turbo pump.[6][17][16][9][4][12] On 11 July 2024, the first hot fire test of its Terminator hybrid rocket engine was completed with success.[18][19][20][15] In December 2024, HyPrSpace announced a successful hot test in the second Terminator testing campaign.[21]
