South Africa's UKZN Breaks Africa's Rocket Launch Record - Reached 18km


UKZN’s affiliated AeroSpace Systems Research Group recently launched Phoenix-1B Mk II rocket, with a technology demonstration objective. The project was used to train students on vehicle design, test operations, and to inspire the younger generations. Launched at Denel Overberg at 16h00 on Sunday, the rocket was aimed at reaching 15km but eventually reached a height of 18km, making the record for the highest flown indigenous rocket on the continent in recent times. The project is funded by the South Africa’s Department of Science and Technology (DST) and the South African National Space Agency (SANSA).
Earlier in February, in a chat with Kai Mitchell Broughton, Team lead and Mechanical Engineer at the Group, he said “We have been working on the Mk II since 2017, launched it in 2019 but it failed. We had a break thereafter and this is when we put together a team of post-grads and PhD students to help rebuild the rocket. We had about ten part-time engineers and students wo ....

Launch of the Phoenix-1B rocket at the Denel Overberg Test Range on 8 March.
A Phoenix-1B Mk IIr hybrid rocket developed by the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) and launched from the Denel Overberg Test Range in the Western Cape has reached an altitude of 18 kilometres, setting a new African record.
The launch took place on 8 March and saw the rocket travel 17.9 km into the air against a targeted range of 15 km, achieving a new African hybrid rocket altitude record (the previous record was 10.3 km). The Minister of Higher Education, Science and Innovation, Dr Blade Nzimande, said the launch is hugely significant for South African engineering and the development of African satellite rocket launch capability. ....
