MISSION STATEMENT

We aim to create a learning environment that provides students with the skills and experience that are required to operate within the UK space sector. This includes documentation, safety, design procedure and normal industry practice, using our launch campaigns as a platform to expose students to these kinds of practices.

We also inspire the future of STEM through our outreach programme, events in collaboration with STEM-focused societies and charities, and our launches themselves.

WHAT WE DO

Our team designs, builds, and launches high-powered rockets in Scotland. In addition, we have numerous projects involving in-house microelectronics, rocket engine design and manufacture, media and content creation, and so much more.

Consisting of over 120 members, our team have won awards, broken records, and inspired young people across the country.
