UC Aerospace's Journey to the Spaceport America Cup

We're excited to be part of UC Aerospace's journey to the Spaceport America Cup! We're proud to contribute our carbon fibre tubes to their airframe. Wishing the team the best of luck as they gear up for the competition and look forward to updates on their progress!

UC Aerospace's Update:

As we begin preparations for the Spaceport America Cup Competition in June, all the team at UC Aerospace would like to extend a massive thank you to one of our sponsors, C-Tech | Carbon Technology for providing the carbon fiber tube that makes up an essential part of the airframe.

With the build of the vehicle well underway, the next challenges will include testing the airframe with multiple test launches, validating the airbrakes and testing other components. In June the team will travel over to the US to participate in the Spaceport America Cup 30K COTS Category, to hopefully bring home a victory for the second year running.
