Where ever you go do it by rocket Where to go next ?

2 UKSEDS Rocketry Training Day 2013, Sheffield University

• I started rocketry through a college extended project to simulate the Space Transportation system.

• Since then I have done various kit builds and scratch builds for experience on construction and design.

• However I still have limited launch experience with only about 10 launches (8 model and 2 mid/high powered).

• Recently I did a kit build of a mid powered rocket called King Kraken and achieved my level 1 certification.

of freedom sensor for stability and control analysis and simulations

• ICSEDS supersonic two stage rocket• ICSEDS Engine group prototype rocket/ Level 2 certification • ICSEDS Engine design group • High powered launch controller

• UKSEDS are running its first rocketry competition this year.

• It will be based on the USSEDS rocketry competition which has been running in the last few years. So eventually we can make it an international competition

• It will last around 10 months to give you plenty of time to get your rocket built and launched.

• You guys will be the first so I hope you are excited.

• Make a team (friends, university or national) and tackle your own ideas and projects

• Get more experience by building a few kits and scratch built rockets.

• Go into a specific field, say electronics and scientific experiments (REXUS), supersonic, materials, structure or aerodynamics

• Eventually join the thrust vectoring project
