Our Projects
Highlight: Mission Phobos & Deimos
After 2 and a half long years of low activity due to the worldwide pandemic, MetRocketry officially announced two missions developing single-staged rockets and 2-staged rockets.
The year 2023 is a turning point in the history of MetRocketry, the team was more eager than ever to resume nominal activity and cultivate our ambitions to achieve something remarkable.
The team had decided to launch 2 rockets this year at 2 different competitions.
These rockers were Mission Phobos & Mission Deimos, named after the 2 martian moons.

A Muon Detector is a device used to measure the number of muon particles reaching the lower atmosphere.
Incorporating these detectors as the payload for Phobos will allow us to track the theoretical increase of muon radiation at increased altitudes, ideally in real-time.
Payload Weight: 8.8 Lbs
