In 2024, Colibri, our bi-propellant vertical takeoff, vertical landing (VTVL) rocket, has performed its first tethered flight. This will demonstrated our ability to implement this advanced technology, used for launcher reutilization and interplanetary landers. Coming soon will be the first untethered flight! Two sub-projects were started in 2020 in order to develop the key elements of this vehicle: an UAV named uMouche for the flight control and our F-100 bipropellant engine for the propulsion.

The flight tests campain is coming soon!
The co-founders, who attended the same high school and have long shared a passion for space, naturally progressed to creating the association to contribute to the industry. For the past year, more than 15 people from diverse technical fields have joined the project alongside their studies.
We created Gruyère Space Program in november 2018, after entering EPFL. Gaining experience and knowledge has been a clear focus from the very start, when we were building small 3D-printed rocket models. We have since then transitioned to TVC (Thrust vector control) rockets, to add an element of active control to our project.
Space is taking an ever increasing role, and the ability to propulsively land is of particularly critical importance. Be it for reuse of launchers or landing on other planets, VTVL rockets are highly sought after and we hope to contribute to this promising field.
We would like to thank our partners for believing in us and helping us achieve our goals. It is because of you that we can continue on this path and that this world’s first will see the day. Want to become a partner? Ask for our sponsoring dossier!
