The University of Minnesota Rocket Team is thrilled to announce that we have won FIRST PLACE in our division of the Spaceport America Cup (30,000ft SRAD category) as well as being declared the overall competition winners!
This virtual competition brought 75 teams together from 6 continents, who were evaluated based on technical reports, a 15-minute video presentation, and a brief Q & A session during the competition weekend. We are honored to have competed alongside so many excellent teams and excited to announce our success!
This video shows our test launch of the rocket we would have flown at the competition if it occurred. Due to the waiver at Tripoli MN we flew to 18,000 ft.
Many dedicated team members put in a lot of work to get us to this point, and we are very proud of each and every one! We’d also like to thank all of our sponsors, our alumni and everyone who participated in our fundraiser to help us raise money to fund our research and work!
