We are building a rocket from A to Z at ISAE-Supméca.

Oh yes... and we have a goal!

Goal: 40 km
at the edges of the stratosphere.

Located to the north of Paris, the Institute of Mechanics in Paris has been an engineering school specializing in mechanical engineering since 1956.

Home to 500 students, it has been a member of the ISAE Group, Institut Supérieur de l’Aéronautique et de l’Espace since 2021.

Known for its proficiency in diverse areas of mechanics and digital technology, graduates from ISAE-Supméca find professional opportunities across various industrial sectors.

Established in 2003, Supméc’Aéro is a non-profit association. It centralizes and promotes activities related to aeronautics and aerospace within ISAE-Supméca and beyond.

Aviation enthusiasts at ISAE-Supméca gather daily within this association to share their passion through various projects and activities.

Let us introduce you to our rocket...

Camera:

A mounted camera, directed towards the ground, will record our rocket's journey through the sky.

LOx tank:

Liquid oxygen serves as the oxidizer for the rocket's engine.

Pressurisation tank:

The pressurization of propellant tanks is accomplished using pressurized helium.

Ethanol tank:

The rocket's engine is powered by ethanol.

This fuel, when used with liquid oxygen, helps minimize the temperature within the engine.

Engine:

The propellants combust in the engine chamber. The resulting combustion products then pass through the nozzle to convert the energy from combustion into thrust and propelling the rocket.

Fins:

Controlled fins will ensure the stability of our rocket.

Moreover, our rocket will not rotate! The video footage on the return will be in-cre-di-ble.
