🚀 New Project Alert: BOLT Takes Off with REXUS 37
Hamburg Space Team is proud to announce a brand-new project in our THHOR Division:
✨ Beamed Optical Light Transmission (BOLT)
BOLT is a sub-orbital LiFi technology demonstrator scheduled to fly in March 2027.
We’re thrilled that BOLT has been selected for the REXUS 37/38 programme and will fly on REXUS 37. As part of this journey, our team is heading to Esrange Space Center for our first review and technical training next week.
The programme gives us countless learning opportunities, ambitious milestones to hit, and (most importantly) — a flight on a rocket. 🚀
More updates coming very soon. 👀
About the REXUS / BEXUS Programme
The REXUS/BEXUS programme is realised under a bilateral Agency Agreement between the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and the Swedish National Space Agency (SNSA). The Swedish share of the payload has been made available to students from other European countries through a collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA). EuroLaunch, a cooperation between the Swedish Space Corporation (SSC) and the Mobile Rocket Base (MORABA) of DLR, is responsible for the campaign management and operations of the launch vehicles. Experts from DLR, SSC, ZARM and ESA provide technical support to the student teams throughout the project. REXUS and BEXUS are launched from SSC, Esrange Space Center in northern Sweden.
