XL1 Program

The original concept of the XL1 was developed in 2016 while the third and final project was developed between the end of 2016 and the beginning of 2017.

The project was presented at Mir 2018 but could not take off due to a technical problem with the retro-rocket system.

We retried the launch at Mir 2019 but immediately after starting the engine the rocket got stuck due to a problem with the ramp slide.

The third test was scheduled for Sunday 31 May but was not carried out due to adverse weather conditions.

The next launch window is agreed for June 13th with Backup on Sunday June 14th.

There will obviously be a video on the Youtube Channel.
