Skyreach was ARD's 2018 design for the 30,000 ft category of the 2019 Australian Universities Rocket Competition, as Team 7: a 268 cm rocket, 13 cm in diameter, on a Cesaroni Pro98 N3301, simulated to 30,322 ft at Mach 1.87. Its recovery plan called for CO2 ejection, the idea Project Kronos brought back as its primary system.
