Project Caelus Formed
The initial Project Caelus team was created after a long round of interviews.
Mission
The mission at Project Caelus is to design, build, test, and launch a bipropellant liquid-fueled rocket to the edge of space while also creating opportunities that introduce young kids to the ever-growing aerospace industry and teaching the community about the importance of STEM education in an increasingly technological world. Through our project, we hope to show young people that it’s possible to do something that has never been done before and that there is no age threshold to exploring science and pushing technological boundaries.

Aphlex 1B - Nitrous Oxide Cold Flow (Water)
Flow water pressurized with nitrogen through the nitrogen tower to perform piping, pressurization and flight software checks
Read MoreAphlex 1B – Nitrous Oxide Cold Flow
Flow nitrous oxide through the nitrous tower and perform piping, pressurization and flight software checks.
Read MoreAphlex 1B - Double Cold Flow
Flow water pressurized with nitrogen through the ethanol tower and nitrous oxide through the nitrous tower. Both flow through the injector into the combustion chamber with no ignition.
Read MoreAphlex 1B - Static Engine Fire
Flow ethanol pressurized with nitrogen through the ethanol tower and nitrous oxide through the nitrous tower. Both flow through the injector and ignite in the combustion chamber.
