Plastic pollution is currently a headache for everyone. But now this is the first successful experiment to convert this same plastic waste into rocket fuel.
SkyRora, an Edinburgh-based company, uses plastic-made fuel in a rocket engine’s socket motor to send a small satellite into orbit. All the components of the rocket engine were made of 3D printing. The fuel made of plastic waste is called ‘excision‘
According to the start-up company, such fuel used in rockets will be cheaper but also green and environmentally friendly.
This rocket engine will undergo further tests after its first success Launch. The plastic fuel will be used in a 22-meter high SkyRora XL space ride or rocket.
The rocket is expected to carry more than one satellite up to a height of 500 km. This will send the satellite into lower ground orbit
In the process, the fuel made from plastic is similar to a type of kerosene and will also be added to the traditional kerosene RP One fuel.

According to the company, 600 kg of fuel can be made from 1000kg of plastic and it produces 45% fewer greenhouse gases than other fuels.
It does not require a special cold cryogenic environment to keep it safe. That is why it can be easily transported from one place to another.
