Hypersonic Test Platform HISTEP


The Hypersonic Test Platform - HISTEP, developed by DELTAV with our next generation proprietary internal ballistics technology, is a two-stage hybrid rocket system. With a cryogenic first stage and a second stage using a storable oxidizer, HISTEP enables systems and subsystems developed for hypersonic flight within the atmosphere or for operation in the space environment to be tested under real conditions. In this way, HISTEP fills an important gap for our country's defense and space industry.

This system, which is of critical importance in both civilian and military applications, is vital for the development and validation of hypersonic technologies.
