Mission brief
The flight at a glance.
SOAR is an abbreviation for "Single-stage Operational Assessment of Red Kite", and is a project between the German space agency DLR and Bayern-Chemie GmbH which aims to develop a new solid fueled rocket motor called Red Kite. The ride kite will be qualified during the SOAR mission. The mission is launched from Andøya Space in Norway in November. But it´s not only about the Red Kite flight qualification, the new motor carries a quite fancy looking experiment from DLR´s Institute of Aerodynamics and Flow Technology on supersonic and hypersonic Ram-Jet flow
