ARPAX Space

ARPAX Space is a French amateur space innovation program focused on the design, development, and suborbital launch of a methalox bi-stage rocket. This program encompasses several projects, including the 10-11 kN methalox Astreus 1A Engine, in-house avionics, the reusable Gall.E-Star 5 launcher, and educational collaborations such as the integration of student and amateur payloads. The goal is to democratize access to space with low-cost recovery and a payload capacity of up to 100 kg. This channel will share the journey to this ultimate goal, its successes and its fails.
