B2D2
A BOOM deploying magnetometer for high quality measurements.

The Bistable Boom Dynamic Deployment (B2D2) project is an experiment scheduled to be launched on the RX30 Rocket in March 2022. It aims to demonstrate high quality measurements of the Earth’s magnetic field using a self-deployable boom carrying two magnetometers.

SPECTRE
A BOOM validating a self-deploying composite tape spring.

The SPacE proof of Composite Tape-springs boom on REXUS Experiment (SPECTRE) project is an experiment scheduled to be launched on the RX33 Rocket in March 2025. It aims to validate a self-deploying bi-stable composite tape-spring boom in microgravity conditions.
