Team

The Propulsion sub-team is focused on developing NOVA-2, the liquid bi-propellant rocket engine that powers our first rocket. Using liquid oxygen and ethanol, we aim to generate 1.2 kN of thrust while incorporating regenerative cooling for optimal engine performance. This team handles the design and testing of the engine, driving the propulsion system that will take our rocket to new heights.

The Structure sub-team is tasked with designing and building the rocket’s frame, along with its piping, propellant tanks, and recovery system. In addition, the team performs critical flight simulations to analyze the stresses induced by the engine and atmospheric conditions during flight. Their work ensures that every component of the rocket can withstand the extreme forces encountered during launch and flight.

The Ground sub-team develops all the essential equipment for testing and launching the rocket and its subsystems. Their work includes constructing the test stand for the NOVA-2 engine, as well as designing the launch stand and rail. Their expertise is key to ensuring smooth and safe rocket operations from the ground.

The Electronics sub-team is responsible for developing the flight computer that will guide the rocket during its mission. This includes programming the software to ensure smooth operations and manage communication systems that maintain a link between the rocket and the ground team during flight.

The Landing sub-team is dedicated to developing the technology required to safely land a rocket booster. This ambitious goal will take years to achieve, starting with small-scale models that use drone motors for thrust generation. Initial efforts focus on modeling control systems using PID controllers and building self-leveling booster prototypes.

The Business and PR sub-team plays a crucial role in Team VOID’s growth and visibility. They build key partnerships and manage public relations. The team also works to strengthen VOID’s presence on social media and at events, helping to connect with the broader community and share our vision.
