Aschau, 7 June 2017<\/strong> \u2013 As part of the continuous effort to intensify and extent its activities in
\nthe fast-growing space market, BAYERN-CHEMIE will be present at the 23 ESA Symposium
\nin Visby, Sweden from June 11 – 15, 2017. BAYERN-CHEMIE will focus on the presentation of
\na brand-new and unique design concept of a propulsion system in a scientific vehicle for
\natmospheric research.<\/p>\n

The 23 ESA Symposium on European Rocket and Balloon Programmes and Related
\nResearch is organised and sponsored by European Space Agency (ESA) and the Swedish
\nSpace Corporation in coordination with the Swedish National Space Board.
\nBAYERN-CHEMIE will contribute to the Symposium, which was initiated by the member states
\nof EASP (Esrange And\u00f8ya Special Project) to provide a forum for scientists and engineers
\nusing sounding rockets and balloons for their research, by showcasing a stage concept for a
\nhovering thermosphere probe vehicle with green, safe and affordable gelled propellant rocket
\nmotors.<\/p>\n

BAYERN-CHEMIE\u2019s sounding rocket concept with GRM (Gelled Rocket Motors) is highly
\nmodular. The filament wound structures for tanks and skirts are designed for easy production
\nprocedures. The GRP (Gelled Rocket Propellant) allows for a high specific impulse \u2013 higher
\nthan that of aluminised solid propellants. The vehicle can either hover at a required altitude, or
\nscan an altitude range and a lateral range to gather measurements about a selected volume of
\nthe atmosphere.<\/p>\n

Unlike traditional sounding rockets that cross the atmosphere and yield only measurements
\nalong a narrow straight flight path over a short period of time, a vehicle with the capability of
\ntraveling or hovering at a required altitude profile will enhance the measuring capability
\nsignificantly. Dependent on the desired cruise altitude, the vehicle can be launched by a one-or
\ntwo-stage sounding rocket. The presentation will take place Tuesday, June 13, at 10 o\u2019clock in
\nroom No. 2.<\/p>\n

Dr. Karl Wieland Naumann, Director Strategy & Business Development at BAYERN-CHEMIE
\nsays: \u201cThe highly controllable green gel propulsion system is a key enabler for that class of
\nvehicles. It draws on BAYERN-CHEMIE \u0301s experience in GRM technology and is a significant
\nstep towards further applications. A highly controllable and effective propulsion system is
\nequally needed for moon or planetary landers. GRM also allows to build safe, environmentally
\nfriendly and affordable stages for launch vehicles. BAYERN-CHEMIE will support the
\nadvancement of sustainable space transportation. We have an exhibition booth at the
\nsymposium and look forward to fruitful discussions\u201d.<\/p>\n
