ARIS’ second generation Hybrid Rocket Engine
The successor to RHEA aims to build a reliable and lightweight engine,
which enables a peak thrust of at least 5 kN to propel a sounding rocket.
ARIS’ first Focus Project
16 September 2019 saw the start of the first ETH focus project organized by ARIS.
It is named IRIDE (pronounced ì-ri-de), “iris” in italian, the colored part of the eye which surrounds the pupil.
Its name is related to the Greek goddess of the rainbow, sea and sky, as well as messenger of the gods, “Iris”.
The team of 8 bachelor students in mechanical engineering is working almost full time under supervision of Prof. Lino Guzzella from the Institute of Dynamic Systems and Control (IDSC) of ETH Zürich.
