ONE | AEROSPACE is the idea to open space for educational purposes. Especially high school and university students should benefit from the possibility to send experiments and research payloads into space. Due to high costs this wasn't possible. Until now. We at ONE want to give access to space for educational purposes and have attended ourselves to developing a low cost and reliable launcher. Through alternative concepts, we are able to lower the costs on transports into suborbital space significantly.

In order to meet the challenges of a suborbital space flight ONE | AEROSPACE develops new technologies for space launch vehicles of this size. We set a high value on developing, manufacturing and testing all components in-house. Our launch vehicle is designed for taking nanosatellites and other small payloads into space. A unique design and the use of state of the art composite materials enable a very high payload factor. All components are designed for reusability to keep the costs per launch at a low level.
Easy payload integration through plug and play.
The payload fairing´s special design provides space for payloads up to 60x60x150 mm with a maximum weight of 100 g. A special fairing allows the transport of higher volume payloads.
Payload-size
Low weight meets maximum performance.
An advanced version of the Arduino Nano takes control of all the vehicles crucial functions as well as flight controls. The weight of the avionics is less than 50 g including the rockets power source.
Weight
High efficiency through revolutionary design.
The ONE | AEROSPACE LPEX 5c rocket engine makes use of a special ceramic glass fiber composite which enables a low overall weight as well as high-strength. There is no need for an additional cooling system due to our special composite architecture.

Our main working principle is "calculate, build and test, test, test! ". All components of the ONE | AEROSPACE rocket are designed and simulated using computer technology. Prior to being assembled in our launch vehicle, each part must undergo a series of critical tests and eventually multiple re-designing phases. Thus, we can guarantee a flawless performance of our launch vehicle in all phases of flight an low maintenance work in between different missions.
... easy and cheap.
The most iportant phases of a ONE | AEROSPACE mission:
T-0:00: The LPEX 5c engine ignites and accelerates the rocket to 2000 kph within 60 seconds..
T+1:00: Rocket and payload ascend further into space after main engine cut off (MECO).
Payload Separation: At a maximum altitude of 110 km the payload separates from the rocket. Micro gravity.
Parachute Landing: the rocket lands safely back on earth after a successful mission.
We believe in simple solutions. All components of our ONE | AEROSPACE liquid rocket engine are designed by keeping it as simple and easy as possible to minimize failure potential and to maximize reliability.
We want to give High schools and Universities the opportunity to launch a real space mission from start to finish. Therefore, we develop a low-cost launcher rocket which enables everyone to send a CanSat or another small payload into space.
LPEX 5C ready for testing
After developing for more than one and a half years the latest version of our LPEX engine class is ready to face qualification testing. The main improvements are a whole new nozzle configuration and an updated injector head.
Qualification testing in early 2018
Testing of the LPEX 5c rocket engine will begin in early March 2018 as set in our current working schedule. We consider multiple tests of sub-systems before qualification will end with a full system test of the rocket.
ONE | Aerospace is a group of young and highly motivated students of different fields of study, such as aerospace engineering and chemistry. We work hard to achieve our goal of opening space for educational purposes. We use both, our knowledge gained at university as well as self-taught solutions for complex problems. In the past years we have reached to final round of Airbus-Groups "Ideenflug" student competition and others.
