Halya

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 5 G’s of acceleration and reach a top speed of Mach 1.2 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.
