SPARK, orSpaceborne Payload Assist Rocket - Kauai, also known asSuper Strypi,^[2] is an Americanexpendable launch system developed by theUniversity of Hawaii,Sandia andAerojet Rocketdyne.^[3] Designed to placeminiaturized satellites intolow Earth andSun-synchronous orbits, it is a derivative of theStrypi rocket which was developed in the 1960s in support ofnuclear weapons testing. SPARK is being developed under theLow Earth Orbiting Nanosatellite Integrated Defense Autonomous System (LEONIDAS) program, funded by theOperationally Responsive Space Office of theUnited States Department of Defense.

Configuration

[edit]

SPARK is designed as a three-stage all-solid carrier rocket, with aspin-stabilized first stage known asLEO-46 and an active attitude control system on the second and third stages. It is launched using a new rail-guided system.^[4] It is expected to have a payload capacity of 250 kilograms (550 lb) to aSun-synchronous orbit at an altitude of approximately 400 kilometres (250 mi).^[5] Launches will be conducted from thePacific Missile Range Facility atBarking Sands.^[6] Aerojet Rocketdyne will produce the motors for all three stages and Sandia is the prime contractor for the rocket's systems. TheUnited States Air Force has provided launch support.

History

[edit]

ORS-4

[edit]

The first launch of SPARK, named ORS-4, took place on November 3, 2015^[7] and was carryingHiakaSat (formerly called HawaiiSat-1^[1]) and several secondary payloads,^[4]^[8] including theEdison Demonstration of Smallsat Networks.^[9] The mission was supposed to test the rocket at its full payload capacity. However, telemetry showed the rocket tumbling soon after liftoff, and theU.S. Air Force released a statement, saying that the "experimental Super Strypi launch vehicle failed in mid-flight shortly after liftoff".^[10]^[11]
