The German startup Hylmpulse, with its main office in Neuenstadt, am Kocher, is creating a compact launch vehicle centred on rockets that use hybrid propulsion. Based in the German Space Agency's Lampoldshausen site, the company was created in 2018 as a spinoff of DLR. It does chemical propulsion. The German technology company IABG's chairman, Rudolf Schwarz, funds Hylmpulse. The business is working on SL1, a three-stage hybrid rocket that can carry up to 500 kg to Low Earth Orbit satellites. The company is also developing a suborbitalmSR75 launch vehicle.
As a technology demonstrator for SL1, this smaller rocket will also be the company's first commercial offering. The hybrid rocket engine uses liquid oxygen and fuel based on paraffin. Hylmpulse concluded its ninth fire test cycle on September 4. Following a successful testing phase, Hylmpulse certified the HyPLOX-75 hybrid rocket motor for use in flight. The motor will be installed in the first and second stages of the SL1 and SR75. In November 2021, Hylmpulse released that in 2023, its SL1 micro-launcher will carry the first small satellites into space by a defensible hybrid propulsion system driven by paraffin wax.
The early ground tests for the hybrid propulsion system, which usages liquid oxygen and paraffin wax, have already been accomplished.
