Halya
Pioneering next-gen liquid bi-propellant rockets with innovative engineering.
About Halya
Halya (“Hesh-lah”) is a supersonic-sounding rocket designed to break height, speed, and acceleration records in collegiate liquid rocketry. The rocket will compete in the FAR MARS launch challenge, where it will fly to 45,000 ft and recover with a parachute. During its 5-minute flight, it will experience a maximum of 17 G’s of acceleration and reach a top speed of twice the speed of sound in under 5 seconds. The Halya team is using advanced manufacturing techniques such as composite layups and metal 3D printing to make Halya as structurally strong and light as possible in order to achieve these performance goals.
