Monolith

Let’s build a rocket!

Monolith is Parallax Space Team's first rocketry program – a carefully designed progression of launches that will take us from our first flights to breaking the sound barrier. Through three distinct phases, we're building the technical expertise, organisational capabilities, and real flight data that form the foundation for advanced rocketry.

Monolith 1

Monolith 1 is the current phase of our Monolith series, building the foundation for all future rocketry projects. Through three rockets, each designed for specific mission objectives, we're developing technical capabilities and flight experience that will enable more advanced missions ahead.

Monolith 1A

Apogee: 150m

Max velocity: 50m/s

Mission

  • Gain flight experience

  • Test basic avionics and launch systems

Monolith 1B

Apogee: 100m

Max. velocity: 40m/s

Mission

  • Manual Parachute deployment

  • Testing redundancy

Monolith 1C

Apogee: 150m

Max. Velocity: 45m/s

Mission

  • Learning neu fabrication techniques

  • Building a fiberglass rocket

Monolith 2

Apogee: 2000 m

Max velocity: 270 m/s

Key systems

  • Stronger materials

  • Dual-deploy recovery

  • Real-time telemetry

Mission

  • Increasing the entire rocket’s robustness and reliability for more challenging flight profiles

Monolith 3

Apogee: 7000 m

Max velocity: 510 m/s

Key systems

  • Payload

  • Active camera stabilisation

Mission

  • Supersonic flight

  • Simulation of effects of supersonic flight and comparison with actual results

Stay tuned for progress updates on our biggest project so far!
