Peryton Space joined a national education initiative to enhance the UK space sector’s global competitiveness. Focused on hands-on learning, the program challenges students to solve real-world engineering problems by designing, manufacturing, and testing rocket engines. This practical experience aims to produce skilled graduates, addressing the industry’s need for better-prepared talent.

Recognizing the fast growth of the UK space industry, Peryton Space wants to help train more professionals by connecting student rocketry activities at universities. This teamwork helps students learn important skills for academia and industry, inspiring them to study STEM subjects and ensuring there are enough skilled workers for the sector’s big goals.

Peryton Space’s involvement aligns with the UK Government’s vision outlined in the National Space Policy, supporting the industry’s target of capturing 10% of the global space market by 2030.

PHYRE (Peryton Hybrid Rocket Engine)

A significant leak was detected at the igniter port highlighted the need for design improvements. These crucial insights will guide the necessary modifications before integrating with the combustion chamber next year.

The team learned a lot as they are preparing for the hot fire test of PHYRE V1. With half of the current team passing the baton to new members next year, the path forward is not just about technical improvements but also about ensuring a smooth transition.
