Rocket testing at Scatsta Airport as space industry activity hots up in Shetland.
Staff of German rocket company HyImpulse were back in Shetland testing site in mid-May.
They carried out a full “wet-dress rehearsal” of its SR75 rocket.
“This includes a full test of the operations of the rocket prior to a launch campaign,” CEO Mario Kobald said.
“Some of the tests were that the pressurisation system was tested to its full design pressure, followed by verification tests for all system functions, as well as its emergency venting options.”
The team – which aims to make use of the SaxaVord Spaceport in Unst – also continued with a successful cryo filling test of the liquid oxygen tank in the rocket.
