Project Description
ILR-33 BURSZTYN 2K is a suborbital rocket project aimed at conducting a flight in space conditions. The Łukasiewicz Research Network – Institute of Aviation was responsible for its implementation, along with the Polish Space Agency, whose role included co-financing the undertaking.
Our Task
Our team’s role in this project was to supply many metal elements, such as fins, stabilizers, bodies, engine booster housings, rocket camera housings, and mechanical elements equipped on the rocket. As part of the cooperation, we were responsible for their comprehensive preparation, covering areas such as:
- Planning – We thoroughly familiarized ourselves with the specifics of the entire undertaking as well as the very precise expectations of the Institute of Aviation. Only on this basis did we develop a detailed plan, execution technologies, and scope of activities.
- Development of Machining Technology – The component production stage itself was preceded by numerous stages of project preparation and verification of assumptions. These were aimed at refining every detail and eliminating potential errors.
- Production – Once the testing phase was successful, we proceeded to the final stage, i.e., manufacturing and then delivering components for the ILR-33 BURSZTYN 2K rocket.
Maximus CNC specialists were involved in the entire project throughout its duration.
Finally, the first Polish suborbital rocket ILR-33 BURSZTYN 2K was launched from Andøya Space Sub-Orbital (Norway) and successfully reached an altitude of 101 kilometers.
We are proud that our efforts, commitment, and above all – the components themselves, could contribute to the success of this mission, which is important not only from the perspective of Poland but also the entire world.
