Pickering Phase 44 LRE

Send

The Pickering Phase 44 LRE (Launch Rocket Equipped) is a rocket designed by the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) for the launch of satellites from the Canadian Space Agency's (CSA) tracking, telemetry, and data acquisition ground station in Pickering, Ontario. This LRE is capable of carrying small satellites (Less Than 50 kg) into a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) of up to 900 km altitude at an inclination of 28.5 degrees. It uses a storable propellant (N2O4 / UMDH) hybrid propulsion system, which means it uses a solid fuel grain and oxidizer to feed the rocket engine's main combustion chamber. The system is relatively lightweight, making it cost-effective for small satellite missions. The Pickering Phase 44 LRE has already been successfully flight-tested several times, making it a reliable option for small satellite launch services for the CSA and other organizations. Additionally, Pickering Phase 44 LRE paves the way towards the CSA's goal of self-sufficiency in launching its satellites.
