This is the first project realised by Karim Hamid, the president of the TSA with his friends Ahmed Khanfir and Mohamed Boukari.
Carthage 01 is a mini rocket that participated in C’Space 2011 in France, which is an international meeting of students who are passionate about space, C’Space was co-organized by CNES and “Planètes Sciences” association.
The event consists in some steps:
The space project is tested to check if it is qualified to be launched.
The qualified space project is inserted into the launch pad.
The launch of the space project.
Carthage 01 succeeded to fly and allowed its project manager Karim Hamid to obtain the flight certificate from C’Space.
With that been said, Carthage 01, is the first 100 % Tunisian mini rocket that had a successful launch after Tunisian revolution.
It is and will always be the example that inspires all the members and followers of the TSA.
