Additionally, ARIS is developing a CubeSat with the SAGE project and working on the Karman rocket project to build a rocket capable of flying up to 100 km. We are also building a bi-liquid engine test stand to further our research and development in this field.

On the business side, ARIS has been expanding its team in areas such as marketing, finance, and social media, collaborating with new academic partners to provide the best possible framework for all engineering projects.
