SKYLARK L

Due to the fact that it is a guided vehicle, Skylark L has an onboard control system and thrust vector control system, as well as a roll control system. During flight, the onboard control system operates guidance algorithms to correct the flight course when any disturbance factors occur. Control of the launch vehicle at the boost phase of launch along pitch and yaw axes is ensured by the deviation of the combustion chamber of the main engine. Control of the launch vehicle at the boost phase of launch along the roll axis and control of the pitch and yaw at the coast stage of launch is ensured by the roll control system.

Regeneratively cooled liquid rocket engine using a pressure fed system.

Skyrora utilise high grade materials, namely polymers such as epoxy, vinyl ester, polyester resins and fibres, glass, carbon, and aramid in order to provide the best physical and mechanical properties of composite parts to maintain a high standard of quality that is essential within the aerospace industry.

Every part that makes up the launch system has been developed by Skyrora, with most of these parts in operation after undergoing successful testing. Remaining parts are currently in the final stages of testing.
