We succeed with these two launchs, validating twice the subsystems we will use to reach the orbit in the so called #GranCanariaSpaceport. Papernews said that we reached the orbit, but this is wrong. We validated in a real scenario, a classic Rockoon system that will put femto-satellites into orbit.

WHAT IS NEXT?

We are talking with our government to have more funding and also we want to involve small enterprises that whant to use this "N-prize made" technology for ad-hoc missions or for Disaster Management applications. You can see a good video summary here (Sorry, only in Spanish):

We are working hard in the Launcher. We have some themal problems with the second stage due to the high power and low mass; but the key is to develop a better engine. Next launchs will be dedicated to test real flights in the near space because we can not test inside the spanish airspace for safety.
