Karman-Alpha was the most powerful and technically complex rocket Sunride has ever launched. It was a high powered 2 stage rocket that launched on 1st July 2023 at FAR in California. It reached an apogee of 22,000 feet after a second stage motor anomaly. Karman Alpha is the first rocket in our “Karman Series” that aims to reach the Karman Line (100 km).
