EUREKA-2
Eureka-2 builds on the successes and lessons learned from Eureka-1, and integrates SEB’s innovations in controls into a flight vehicle for the first time. Eureka-2 demonstrates a major step forward for SEB’s propulsion, manufacturing, avionics, and structural design capabilities, showing how students can design, build, integrate, and fly a system as complex as a liquid bipropellant rocket in record time.
EREG
Instead of mechanical pressure regulators, our propulsion system will use our in-house electronic pressure regulation system, EREG. This will improve our burn’s efficiency, helping boost our altitude. You can learn more about EREG here.
Tank Sizing
In order to maximize altitude at apogee, our tank sizing will be adjusted for a more nominal burn.
Recovery
In order to ensure a successful recovery, our apogee detection and recovery systems will be re-reworked, with more rigorous testing than ever before.
Eureka-2 successfully launched in February 2024, reaching an altitude of 15,879 feet (4840 meters), and a maximum velocity of Mach 0.88.
