TR -1000
The TR-1000 sounding rocket is an experimental launch platform developed for low-altitude payload delivery and educational aerospace missions. Designed to transport up to 1 kg of payload to approximately 1 kilometer altitude, TR-1000 provides a practical and affordable solution for academic institutions, student teams, and early-stage R&D programs. The rocket features a lightweight cardboard composite airframe, an all-up mass of 5.5 kg, and uses an I-class solid rocket motor for propulsion. It incorporates an onboard flight computer for data logging and mission monitoring, along with a parachute-based recovery system. TR-1000 employs a mechanical side-deployment mechanism for CanSat release, enabling reliable payload deployment during flight. The vehicle is currently ground-tested and configured as an unguided rocket system.
