This year at AUREL, we are opening an entirely new technological chapter. In January, in Ko\u0161ice, we confirmed our participation in an international consortium and signed a framework agreement for the JARMIL EPC-2K project \u2013 formally marking our entry into the aerospace sector. Building on our experience from technically demanding projects, we are now moving into an environment where requirements for precision, reliability, and qualification process are even higher.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What is JARMIL EPC-2K<\/span><\/h2>\n

The JARMIL EPC-2K project is <\/span>a development programme focused on a rocket propulsion system.<\/b> However, it is not limited to design alone \u2013 it covers the entire process, from engineering design and numerical simulations to experimental validation and systems engineering.<\/span><\/p>\n

Within the project, we are involved across the full development cycle, while also <\/span>entering the European space ecosystem<\/b>, where technological know-how and credibility for future international collaboration are continuously developed.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>For AUREL and LENAM, the project is strategically important as it allows us to transfer advanced competencies into the aerospace segment<\/span><\/i>,\u201d says Radek N\u011bme\u010dek, Aerospace Activities Coordinator at AUREL.<\/span><\/p>\n

We are not doing this alone<\/span><\/h2>\n

Rocket engine development relies on collaboration between multiple partners. That is why we are part of a consortium in which each partner has a clearly defined role. <\/span>The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at the Technical University of Ko\u0161ice<\/b> (TUKE), together with the Prototyping and Innovation Centre (PaIC), provides strong research and manufacturing capabilities, as well as experience from projects of the European Space Agency. These capabilities are also reflected in ongoing collaborations \u2013 TUKE is currently involved in an ESA project focused on air decontamination, running since February 2026, with AUREL and LENAM participating as subcontractors.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stellar Exploration and Inpraise Systems<\/b> contribute expertise in space applications and systems design.<\/span><\/p>\n

As <\/span>AUREL<\/span><\/a> and LENAM, we primarily bring <\/span>experience in numerical simulations, <\/b>virtual development<\/b><\/a>, and testing of technically demanding systems<\/b>. This integration of research, development, and practical application forms a strong foundation for the project.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our role<\/b> is to ensure that the design works even before the first physical prototype is created. Specifically, we focus on:<\/span><\/p>\n
