Dhumketu: DX 5.0 Firefly
Human Flight To Space
Human Flight To Space
The Capsule
The first capsule we build will be a boilerplate model of the pressure hull made from steel. The challenges for creating a crewed capsule are significant – the capsule must be capable of surviving atmospheric stress on entry and ascent. It must hold pressure and support a homegrown life support system. Moreover, the capsule must be capable of returning safely to earth under its own parachutes from a peak velocity of almost mach three.
Human Flight To Space
The Goal
The ultimate goal of DhumketuX is to launch a human on a suborbital ride to space. For this purpose we are developing the firefly rocket . Designing a manned, suborbital space flight system is not an easy task. Currently there are only two manned suborbital spaceflight flight systems operational; Blue Origin’s New Shepherd and Virgin Galactic’s Spaceship Two. Both systems are bankrolled by multi-million dollar companies, employing leading aerospace professionals. Our mission is, in every sense, without precedent.
No crewed spacecraft has ever been developed by a student team.
No crewed spacecraft has ever been developed and flown from Bangladesh.
No crewed spacecraft has ever launched from an aquatic launchpad.

There will be two-sector in the space center:
A. Rocket Launch Complex like NASA’s Cape Kennedy Space Centre (For Scientist & Professional)
1.Here will be a rocket research facility and jet propulsion lab
2.Will create any space laws and rules.
B. Rocket launch area complex for Students and Academics
1.Here will be an area where any students and academics can launch their rocket without needing any kind of permission within 10km altitude.
2.Any student can register and launch a rocket just like a one-stop service with a student ID.
