Harry Hresh is the home of the Harry Hresh Aerospace Program for Extraterrestrial Exploration (HHAPEE) — a fictional space program dedicated to building space-inspired DIY projects using open-source and off-the-shelf technology.

HHAPEE serves as both an educational guide and a proof-of-concept platform, transforming ambitious space concepts into hands-on, accessible experiments.

Project Phases

Phase 1: Launch

  • Vahagn Rocketry Project
    • Objective: Develop a reusable high-powered rocket.
    • Certification Goal: Achieve L1 to L3 certification.
    • Payload Capacity: Designed to carry CanSat and Spaceplane payloads.
  • Aramazd Mission Control Project
    • Function: Provides ground support and a control center.
    • Purpose: Receives telemetry information from launches.

Phase 2: Payload

  • Astghik CanSat Project
    • Objective: Simulate satellite operations through a payload experimental project.
    • Operation: Launched on an enhanced Vahagn Rocket.
    • Functionality: Relays information back to the Aramazd Mission Control module.

Phase 3: Land

  • Nane Spaceplane Project
    • Type: Booster glider project.
    • Deployment:
      • As a payload for the Vahagn Rocket.
      • As a nose cone on the Vahagn Rocket
    • Control: Monitored and controlled via the Aramazd Mission Control project.

Phase 4: Iterate

Goal: Continuously develop platforms with varied launch, payload, and landing capabilities to foster innovation and improvement.
