The Polish rocket will set off to conquer space once again. We know when Peron will start

This is the third week of this month, that is The period from 18 to 24 September. At this time, SpaceForest has not shared 100% specific data on the specific launch date, however It is already known that the test will be conducted again in UstkaThat is, in the place where the Peron rocket was launched for the first time in June 2023. Then The spacecraft reached an altitude of 22 km. In an interview with PAP, Marcin Sarnowski of the Gdynia-based company added:

Perón’s second attempt is verification How will the missile handle high altitudes? – We are talking about up to 60 kilometers, which is almost three times higher than in the first test.

Launch and flight diagram of the Peron missile

Peron is a so-called suborbital rocket, that is, a rocket because of its relatively low speed You will not be able to enter Earth’s orbit or leave the gravitational zone. However, Peron will go beyond the boundaries of space, which means the spacecraft will be weightless for a short time.

After that, it is planned to return to Earth, but as SpaceForest representatives add:

So we are waiting for more information about Perun i Confirm exact start date. The rocket itself is intended for use in inexpensive space research – the 11-meter structure with a take-off mass of about 970 kg is capable of carrying a payload weighing up to 50 kg and measuring 800 x 370 mm into space. 150 km altitude.
