Propulse NTNU represents Norway in the competition to become Europe&#8217;s top rocket team. Bifrost is one of four rockets powered by liquid fuel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;There are many new features in this year&#8217;s rocket, not only for the students in Propulse but also for the Norwegian space industry,&#8221; said Fl\u00e5tter Flo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">First Norwegian liquid fueled rocket<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The engine has a thrust of 5 000 N. It is 3D-printed and runs on a combination of ethanol and liquid nitrous oxide. Bifrost is also the first Norwegian liquid fueled rocket. The speed is estimated to be Mach 0.8, which is equivalent to 988 km\/h. Bifrost also carries a 3 kg test model of <a href=\"https:\/\/orbitntnu.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Orbit NTNU<\/a>&#8216;s satellite&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/orbitntnu.com\/biosat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Biosat<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/nyheter.ntnu.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Bifrost_Foto_Propulse_NTNU-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3944\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nyheter.ntnu.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Bifrost_Foto_Propulse_NTNU-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/nyheter.ntnu.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Bifrost_Foto_Propulse_NTNU-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nyheter.ntnu.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Bifrost_Foto_Propulse_NTNU-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nyheter.ntnu.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Bifrost_Foto_Propulse_NTNU-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/nyheter.ntnu.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Bifrost_Foto_Propulse_NTNU-1-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An enormous success<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A total of 47 project participants from Propulse were in Portugal, with 15 of them arriving a week earlier to start preparations. The five-meter-long rocket was too large to transport on a plane, so it was transported in a rental car in multiple parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Challenges with fuel quantity and shorter burn time resulted in the rocket reaching a lower maximum altitude than originally planned. A seam also broke in the parachute, causing Bifrost to have a considerably harder landing than intended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;All the key details worked, and the successful launch is, therefore, an enormous success for us. This is a giant leap for Tr\u00f8ndelag&#8217;s space program&#8221;, said Simon Fl\u00e5tter Flo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/nyheter.ntnu.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/391616913_832491078769930_1041342408008044428_n-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Bifrost Photo: Propulse NTNU\" class=\"wp-image-3934\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nyheter.ntnu.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/391616913_832491078769930_1041342408008044428_n-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/nyheter.ntnu.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/391616913_832491078769930_1041342408008044428_n-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nyheter.ntnu.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/391616913_832491078769930_1041342408008044428_n-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/nyheter.ntnu.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/391616913_832491078769930_1041342408008044428_n-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nyheter.ntnu.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/391616913_832491078769930_1041342408008044428_n.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Foto: Propulse NTNU<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our first real step toward space<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Project Bifrost is Propulse NTNU&#8217;s first significant step toward the goal of reaching space,&#8221; says Fl\u00e5tter Flo. &#8220;We now see several things we can improve for the next rocket.
