OUR PROJECTS
Saltire-1
Saltire-1 was the teams first design project, to design a high powered rocket capable of reaching 5000ft. Saltire-1 was essential for the newly formed team to find their footing and execute procedures safely in the first ever launch of a high-powered rocket performed by a Scottish university team.
Saltire-2
Saltire-2, the even more ambitious project from the team, launched a top to bottom fully custom composite rocket to 15569ft from Fairlie Moor on the 27th of August 2022. We intend to relaunch Saltire-2 in September 2023!
Chimera
Our propulsion team has been working for over a year to create a fully student-designed hybrid rocket engine that will be tested in the latter half of 2021. This is just a first stepping stone to creating a flight-weight model we can use within our airframes.
