Successful test of the new SF-1000 engine – another milestone in the development of Poland’s largest rocket PERUN
The first test of the new, enhanced version of the eco-friendly SF-1000 rocket engine, a key component of the PERUN suborbital flight system, has been completed successfully.
Research data was gathered in a newly accessible location on the Ustka testing range. Enhancements to formal procedures and safety protocols have significantly streamlined the testing process. These advancements are crucial for ensuring the success and reliability of future regular space missions. This achievement would not have been possible without the professional and effective collaboration of the Ustka range command – our heartfelt thanks for their support!
The field tests are closely related to the Boost! project, conducted by SpaceForest in collaboration with the European Space Agency. The project aims to develop an affordable, widespread, and eco-friendly solution for accessing space – for scientific, commercial and new technology testing purposes.
SF-1000 engine test took place at the end of 2024. The 25-second test provided crucial data, paving the way for ongoing technological advancements. This information will play a key role in refining the design and scaling up for serial production. The data and conclusions drawn form a solid foundation for future generations of the PERUN suborbital rocket engine.
