EMS Rocketry

This is Earth Mars Saturn Rocketry! We're here to design, assemble, test and launch homemade model rockets and other small spacecraft!

⚠️ BIG NEWS ⚠️
3..2..1.. Liftooohh come on!
Our third flight attempt with Mile 360 (Unit 3.1) was officially conducted earlier today.
Although the rocket did successfully lift off the ground, the fuel segments popped out of the rocket in midair <1 second later.

[EMS Rocketry @EmsRocketry]

Here we have Mile 360 Unit 10 ready for flight hopefully tomorrow evening!
Another thing worth mentioning is that this rocket is using the same exact nosecone we used on our very first Mile 360 rocket, Unit 1.

[EMS Rocketry @EmsRocketry]

The most significant feature about our latest design with Mile 360 is that the entire structure is 3d printed!
The images below show Mile 360 unit 7 on the left and unit 8 on the right sitting on their launch mount.

⚠️ ANNOUCEMENT ⚠️

Today and yesterday, we commenced two back to back launch attempts with Mile 360 units 7 & 8, with unit 8 being the most successful out of the two.
More details coming soon!

⚠️UPDATE⚠️
Over the past few days, we've conducted flight attempts of Mile 360 Units 5, 6, and 6.5.
For the reason that our success rate continues to be sparse, Mile 360 is currently undergoing another redesign to increase its structural strength indefinitely moving forward.

!! ANNOUCEMENT !!
Earlier today, we officially conducted a launch attempt with Mile 360 Unit 4.1!
We had a successful ignition and powered ascent, although DRADEX unfortunately did not manage to deploy afterwards.

Here is the video replay:

May the fourth be with you! 🙏

Here's a quick diagram of Mile 360's current design for those who are wondering

[EMS Rocketry @EmsRocketry]

You spin me right ‘round, baby, right ‘round! 🔄🚀

Mile 360 will live up more to its name as Unit 4.1 will now rotate during flight to stabilize its trajectory upwards.

Happy National Space Day! 🛰️🚀

Quick update: We will not be attempting to launch Mile 360 Unit 4 and we're instead planning to launch our next Mile 360 rocket, Unit 4.1.
However, we are going to use Unit 4 for a hot fire test to see how well its new design holds up!

[EMS Rocketry @EmsRocketry]

So, what's next after Unit 3.1? 🤔

The new and even more improved Mile 360 Unit 4 is the answer! This rocket features design elements including wider fuel segments, a beefed-up thrust segment, and even a nose cone deployment mechanism! Launch date is yet to be determined.

[EMS Rocketry @EmsRocketry]

! UPDATE !
Due to an assembly error with Mile 360 Unit 3, we will therefore not be launching Unit 3.
On the bright side however, we have just assembled our next Mile 360 unit, labeled Unit 3.1, which has the possibility of flying no earlier than tomorrow!
Stay tuned for updates!

[EMS Rocketry @EmsRocketry]

Oh me, oh my! We're almost ready to fly! 🚀❤️

Here's the link to the video replay of yesterday's test fire of Mile 360 Unit 2.5 👇

⚠️ BIG NEWS!!! ⚠️
The hot fire test of Mile 360 Unit 2.5 was officially conducted earlier today instead of later this week as originally planned. The outcome: BIG SUCCESS!!!
Having completed this test fire of the rocket paves the way towards our upcoming flight with Unit 3!

[EMS Rocketry @EmsRocketry]

Don't lose it, reuse it! ♻️❤️
We've just put together our own launch mount to use for our Mile 360 rockets!
As you can see in the photos below, we're using another spent 3d printer filament roll as the base for the 3d printed hardware of the launch mount!

[EMS Rocketry @EmsRocketry]

Mile 360 Unit 2.5 (on the right) all assembled and ready for propellent installation, and Unit 3 (on the left) nearing completion on it's assembly!
Right now we're currently targeting Wednesday April 24, 2024 for our hot fire test of Unit 2.5 (Unit 3's launch date is pending).

[EMS Rocketry @EmsRocketry]

Here is what’s next after Unit #2!
Before we start working towards our third flight attempt of Mile 360 with Unit #3, we’re currently building a test article version of Mile 360 to run a hot fire with in an effort to insure a greater chance of success with Unit #3.

[EMS Rocketry @EmsRocketry]

BIG NEWS!!!
We've official conducted our launch attempt of Mile 360 Unit #2 earlier this morning!
Unfortunately though, the rocket once again did not manage to successfully liftoff due to a series of events.
