Project NX-1
Project Overview: High-Altitude Balloon Launch - Project NX-1
Estimated
Launch Date: Early 2026We're excited to announce our ambitious plan to launch Project NX-1 on January 4! Our goal is to send a camera to an impressive altitude of up to 100,000 feet, where we hope to capture stunning footage of Earth and the atmosphere.
While we can't guarantee success, we're committed to making this launch a reality. The balloon will carry a lightweight payload equipped with a camera and a GPS tracker to help us recover our footage. This project highlights the potential of accessible aerospace technology and the spirit of exploration. Follow our journey as we prepare for this exciting endeavor!
Project NX-2: Reaching New Heights
Estimated
Launch Date: July 2025
At Kobalt, we believe true innovation comes from bold ideas and relentless curiosity. Project NX-2 is our most advanced rocket to date—built entirely in-house and powered by a proprietary solid fuel formulation developed specifically for high-thrust, reliable launches.
This next-generation vehicle builds on the foundation of past projects, integrating improved structural design, refined avionics, and a custom recovery system. At its core is a classified solid propellant blend, the result of extensive testing and experimentation aimed at achieving optimal balance between power, stability, and control.
Key Features:
-
Proprietary solid fuel with enhanced burn characteristics
-
Custom payload system for in-flight data and recovery
-
Designed for rigorous performance testing and engineering validation
NX-2 isn't just a rocket. It's a statement—that innovation doesn't require massive budgets or big teams. Just vision, resourcefulness, and the drive to build something that's never been done before.
