Project Fenrir

FENRIR (Free fall Experiment uNit for Reduced gravity Investigation and Research) is a student-led space project from Luleå University of Technology (LTU) in Kiruna, Sweden. The project aims to create an easy-to-use platform for ejecting scientific payloads from sounding rockets. The Free Fall Unit (FFU) will carry two payloads: an attitude stabilisation system (ATSS) and an experiment in the field of phase change materials (PCM). FENRIR is a part of the REXUS/BEXUS programme and is set to fly on the RX34 sounding rocket in March 2025. REXUS/BEXUS is a student experiment programme financed by the Swedish National Space Agency and the German Aerospace Centre with support from the European Space Agency - ESA, the Swedish Space Corporation - SSC, ZARM and more.
