Team

Team VOID is a student team at the TU/e to research and develop reusable rockets. TU/e Student Teams are interdisciplinary organizations of students that challenge themselves to tackle significant societal challenges by developing innovative technology. Our team consists of 41 people from 10 programs and 21 nationalities, all working towards the common goal: democratizing space access.

In order to achieve our goals our team consists of different sub-teams, which focus on general goals, or specific projects such as Ignis or Jackalope.

Ground Systems

Read more about the Ground Systems sub-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.

Propulsion

Read more about the Propulsion sub-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.

Structure

Read more about the Structure sub-team..

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.
