ABOUT TRILE-1

SMALL BUT STILL ADVANCE

TRILE-1 is a small suborbital single stage rocket. It's entire body is 100% 3D Printed, design to be launch quickly and efficiently from any where. With an advance launch system with flame diverters, and other features. Development and testing started way back in 2022 with testing of the motors (aka the engines), and other important features. The first prototype (named BMR-LV001) was made in 2023 and it's the first prototype of the vehicle to launch on the "Demo Flight" Mission. This is the mission that first tested the vehicle's capability of lifting off the launch pad and accent.

FIRST STAGE

GANYMADE SOLID MOTOR

The first stage is mostly fully 3d printed and stands 17 cm tall with a diameter of 2.4 cm. After insulation is installed on the inside of the main tank, to protect the inside of the tank from the extreme heats of the propellent burning inside. It also functions as a rocket motor (Ganymede motor) with the nozzle installed at the aft section where the exhausts of the rocket exit.

SECOND STAGE

IMPULSE SOLID MOTOR

The second stage is what boosts the payload to it's maximum altitude. It's also shares similarities with the first stage, with a nozzle being installed at the end for the exhaust gasses to come out. This is also insulated and mostly 3d printed with a high of 2.6 cm. On top of the first stage, the interstage is installed. This is the section that the second stage attaches to, during flight until stage separation. This section is fully 3D printed as well with a high of 2.9 cm.

PAYLOAD

PAYLOAD FAIRING

The payload fairing or just simply referred to as the fairing, protects and incapsulates the payload on the launch pad and during flight. It's also 3D printed and stands 5.5 cm tall.

Payload Fairing Specs:

Fairing Volume: 142.49

Max. Payload to 25m: 3g

FIRST FLIGHT

On June 23, 2024 at 2:10 PM (UTC), Backyard model rockets launched the first TRILE-1 prototype launch vehicle for the first time. After the Launch Director (LD) called a GO for launch, TRILE-1 launched for the first time successfully for our backyard launch site.
