The EPFL Rocket Team is recruiting its leaders for next year. We are looking for all kinds of profiles! Want to know more❓ We look forward to seeing you on 5 July at 18:30 in CM1 at EPFL. Can't make it? Don't worry, we'll have a zoom under this link: go.epfl.ch/leads-ert!

Thanks to Sauber Technologies, we had the opportunity to test our mock-up rocket in their wind tunnel. 💨 Unfortunately due to technical difficulties, the test wasn’t conducted. We still want to thank Sauber Technologies for the invitation and their insightful comments. 🚀

As you might have seen, our Space Race launch happened two weeks ago. This was a great success as 4 teams over 5 were able to launch their rocket and recover them, even one with a guided parachute! More than 50 students participated in that project! 💪

Last week, we had the first of a serie of drop tests with our sponsor Woodair at Rances (VD) 🐝 They provided us the drone and a pilot to control it. We want to thanks warmly Woodair for their help, and also our friend who lend us the fields to conduct the test

This weekend, many of our members went to Cernier (NE) to launch their personal rockets 🚀 Everybody did pretty well : - Five new level 1 certifications - One written exam for level 2 completed

You can be our next communication team leader 🧑‍🎨 We accept everybody motivated ! (with or without experience) and you do not have to be an EPFL student to participate. If you are interested, send your CV to recruitment@epflrocketteam.ch We can’t wait to meet you 😊

We validated the last stage before production 👍 Yesterday we had our CDR (critical design review), where we showed all of our designs to experts. They gave us their feedbacks, and now, we are good to go 🔥 The production of our competition rocket Wildhorn will start soon

RuagSpace is now @BeyondGravity_S ! It’s time for a rebrand for one of our most precious sponsor. Beyond Gravity have never failed to help us in our endeavors and we know we can count on them. We are really proud to be supported by them. Thank you @BeyondGravity_S 💪🚀

Do you have any idea of what is happening there ? We are actually putting our molds into vaccuum during 15min to make sure that the layers of carbons stay on. Now it’s ready for curing into the autoclave, which is a very advanced oven that will pressurise the air around the molds

A special thanks to @APCOtechnologies for their expertise, and for letting us use their equipment. It helps us greatly with our project !

Our research project Icarus has done it ! Our paper has been approved by ICRA 🤖 Want to see your name on the next paper ? Join our project Icarus ! 💪 You can see the details on our website : epflrocketteam.ch/fr/projets-de-… Or you can also contact us by mail: icarus@epflrocketteam.ch

Did you know that APCO Technologies SA worked on the James Webb Telescope and on Ariane VI ? That’s why we are even more proud to announce that they recently became one of our prestige sponsors ! We are really grateful to be supported by such company, thank you for choosing us🚀
