GU ROCKETRY'S CUSTOM-BUILT FLIGHT COMPUTER
Saltire-1
Saltire-1 was our first rocket, based on an off-the-shelf Bullpup shell. Using a solid rocket motor, Saltire-1 reached 5087ft.
The vehicle's development was essential for the team to develop our safety, computer analysis and avionics systems. With a student-designed and manufactured avionics bay, Saltire-1 furthered our
flight computer technology, allowing us to significantly grow our ambitions for Saltire-2.
Outreach
​
We developed our outreach program with Saltire-1, inspiring interest from young kids in space and rocketry. The concept for our mission patch was created by a pupil from Hillhead High School during our Space Day outreach event.
