Haas

Rocket launcher able to place 400 kg of payload in Low Earth Orbit. The first flight of this launcher (European Lunar Explorer - ELE as payload) is for the Google Lunar X Prize Competition.


Demonstrator 2 si 2B

ARCA's first launched rocket vehicle. The rocket was equiped with world first composite materials reusable rocket engine tested in flight. The flight was registered for the Ansari X Prize Competition.


Orizont

Suborbital manned space plane build for the Ansari X Prize Competition. Unfortunately, the airframe was completed only after the end of this competition. The project is now on hold at ARCA.


European Lunar Explorer - ELE

Automated spacecraft build by ARCA for the Google Lunar X Prize Competition. It will be placed into Low Earth Orbit with the help of Haas rocket launcher.


BASMATES

Governmental finnanced program - PNII National Research Program. It aims the creation of a solar balloon able to transport commercial payloads into the stratosphere.


Vlaicu 1

ARCA will build, during a private contract, a full scale model of Vlaicu I aeroplane. This machine flew, for the first time in 1910 in Romania and next year will be the centenial of this flight.

Stabilo

Manned suborbital space vehicle. It completed two stratospheric flights. Stabilo was lifted above the Earth atmosphere with the help of huge Montgolfier solar balloons.


Solar balloons

These solar balloons, build at ARCA, are used as the first stage for the Stabilo and Haas rocket vehicles. The rockets are lifted into the stratosphere, a place where the atmosphere is thiner than on the ground.


Demonstrator 1

ARCA's first build rocket vehicle. It had suborbital capabilities. It never flew, but it was used as a test bed for fuel tanks and rocket engines. The program was closed in 2003.


VECSS

Governmental finnanced program - PNII National Research Program. It aims the creation of a suborbital rocket able to transport commercial payloads.


PAMMDAV

Governmental finnanced program - PNII National Research Program. It aims the creation of a piloted VTOL multirotor platform for commercial use.
