Sounding rockets are a widely used test bench in the aerospace field that allow the testing of a huge quantity of products, parts ed experiments. However they are often expensive and require a long development cycle before launch. In this scenario, the Nimbus project team has developed a sounding rocket with the main purpose of engineering a reusable, cost-effective test bench, which is scalable to carry heavier payloads. It has already flown multiple times and, since the first version of the rocket, many upgrades have been introduced in order to improve its performances. To demonstrate its reusability in a short time, the rocket has been launched twice in two consecutive days.
