Aerockets Corp. (Aerockets) is a Belgian aerospace manufacturer headquartered in Belgium. It was founded in 2019 Aerockets has created several launch vehicles, Sharky (MK2), SeaTurtle, Godspeed.
In 2020 the first rocket named Sharky was launched, quickly followed by Sharky MK2. At this point Aerockets was still in the point of experimenting with rockets based on a quick release of pressure to launch the vehicle in the air.
In October Aerockets launched the first rocket propelled by solid fuel, the first test launches included launching bamboo sticks in the air, this quickly developed to custom designed rockets created with a 3D printer, the first launch attempt with a parachute failed, the rocket crashed before the parachute could open. Following this failure Aerockets started launching rockets without parachutes. The first launches in this series were a success, the rocket was able to be reused 5 times before being retired.
