Although the Australian flight programs HyShot, HyCAUSE and HIFiRE successfully achieved hypersonic flight testing at a third of the cost of the typical flight program at the time, to successfully demonstrate components and systems applicable to high speed flight, a high tempo of demonstrations that can be achieved at even lower costs needs to be possible. In addition, a pipeline of talent to continue to specifically support flight demonstrations and ultimately development of marketable systems needs to be established. At the University of Queensland, the challenge of developing such an approach has been undertaken. A flight program, STAje-, was initiated to demonstrate high speed electric propulsion, but also to meet this challenge. This presentation provides details of the approach that has evolved. It includes a description of the approach to payload development and manufacture, as well as rocket motor design and the importance of an independent range with land recovery.
