CER160
Overview
The Commercial EcoRocket 160 - CER160, is an ecological, cost effective rocket system, build for both civilian and military training applications.
Contrary to al present-day rockets, CER160 uses non-flammable, non-explosive, opting instead for a mixture of water and hydrogen peroxide at 30-70 ratio making it benign for the environment, simple to operate and cost effective. Also, a mixture of 50-50 water and hydrogen peroxide is an option, assuming however flight performance loss.
The rocket employs no electronics, and it has just a single valve for engine start, making it easy to operate, requiring no prior aerospace training.
CER160 could be used as a scientific or recreational high altitude rocket, and as an endoatmospheric aerial target for military training.
An important advantage of this liquid fuelled rocket over the solid propellant rockets is that the altitude can be set prior to launch function of the liquid propellant mass that the user will put in the tank.

Ground Support Equipment (GSE)
Launch canister
The rocket launches from a canister with that has a diameter of 0.7 m and is 9.6 m tall.
Propellant transfer tank
The propellant transfer tank is a 120 litre stainless steel tank that stores the propellant before it is transferred into the rocket prior to the launch.
Prerequisites
Propellant
The propellant for the CER160 rocket is a mixture of water and hydrogen peroxide in the 30-70 ratio. The hydrogen peroxide already prepared in this ratio is commercially available everywhere in the world, and sold as hydrogen peroxide 70% concentration.
The user must procure locally 110 kg of 70% concentration hydrogen peroxide in order to fuel the rocket for launch. Also, the rocket works with 50% concentration hydrogen peroxide found in stores, but with flight performance loss.
Pressurant
After the rocket is fuelled, the tank must be pressurised at a pressure of 14 bar, prior to launch.
Various hydrogen peroxide compatible gases could be used. We recommend air from an air compressor (the most affordable option), helium (for the highest rocket performance), nitrogen, argon.
12V power source
In order to launch the rocket, a 12V, 5A external power source is needed.

Reservation, order and shipment
Orders for the CER160 system, will be available starting with March 2024. Meanwhile, you can reserve your CER160 system here:
The shipment will be made in standardised, 6m long containers. Each container could accommodate two CER160 complete systems.
The order will be ready for shipment depending on the order size. Usually, for a complete CER160 system, with a single rocket, the shipment will start 30 days after the payment was received.
For larger orders, the shipment date will be communicated before the purchase payment.
