Team

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 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 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 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.
