Here is some more footage of our recent launch of Starsailor! Our team is still working on recovering the rocket, and more updates will follow after (as well as more footage!) AD ASTRA 🚀🚀🚀

I just got an update from the Starsailor team confirming that there was a structural failure at Max Q, they reached Mach 3 after 23 seconds of the planned 30 second burn but the nosecone separated and safety systems shut down the rocket.
Still congratulations to the team on this flight.

From Earth to the Edge of Space!

IsoEnergy congratulates the exceptional team at @SpaceConcordia Rocketry Division on the successful launch of Starsailor—Canada’s first student-led and built rocket ever flown!

This historic achievement, powered by over 700 students, is a testament to innovation, perseverance, and the power of collaboration. We were honoured to host this launch at our Matoush exploration site near Mistissini and to support the team’s STEM outreach with local youth, inspiring the next generation of scientists, engineers, and explorers.

I visited this team back in 2024 when I was in Montreal for the eclipse, no shortage of ambition, and it’s great to see this launch happen.

The team is standing down from tomorrow’s launch attempt due to unfavourable weather.

We will take the extra time to ensure the vehicle and team are in good shape, and will continue to monitor the forecast.

Next attempt is looking like Friday morning.

@talentsimc Our final step is to perform a full system stage test of the rocket with cryogenics to validate the propellant feed system, and then we're off to the Kármán line!

@joebarnard Thanks Joey B!!!!

[Space Concordia Rocketry Division @SCRD_Rocketry]

Full flight duration hotfire of our Stewart engine!!!!! This 30-second hotfire validated the engine for our Starsailor spaceshot rocket, making it the most powerful student-built rocket engine in the world!
