Gemini
Starting in Fall 2026, KXR has started development of its first two-stage rocket. Gemini's development and documentation will be used for future generations of KXR members to be able to learn and compete in other two-stage rocketry competitions. Gemini will be carrying live video payload, transferring live views of the horizon as it reaches apogee and several other camera's to capture both separation and horizon views during flight to review afterwards. We plan to launch our sustainer, castor, in early 2027, and will be adding Pollux, our booster, for a full stack flight in April 2027.
The Gemini team has just completed trade studies and presented their Conceptual Design Review for feedback from the board. The team is now gearing up and finalizing decisions for a Preliminary Design Review to ensure Gemini is designed to meet the highest standards. Stay tuned for updates and insights into the team's journey as they push the boundaries of rocketry and technology. Check out our socials for project updates as the team meets their goals and milestones throughout the year.
