Engineering:Sugar Shot to Space
From HandWiki
Sugar Shot to Space is a volunteer project with the stated goal of launching a rocket into space (100 km) powered by rocket candy, a sugar-based fuel.[1] As of 2015, the project has launched a rocket that reached 33 km, about one third of the goal.[1]
A successful flight would not be the first time an amateur group has launched a rocket into space (which occurred in 2004), but would be the first rocket to reach space using a sugar-based fuel.[2]
