Sun's got the power(!), with solar sail technology utilising sunlight for propulsion ☀️ @ICSpaceSoc have been selected to launch their experimental solar sail onboard a high-altitude balloon mission from the Esrange Space Center in Sweden. imperial.ac.uk/news/252118/im…

At #ImperialLates? Swing by stall 4 and get ready to take control of a model Martian rover crafted by our awesome student space enthusiasts! 🛰️ It's gonna be a blast exploring the red planet! 🔴 @ICSpaceSoc

@lougrims Looking familiar to this cracked student project @ICSpaceSoc

HUGE congratulations to the brilliant students of IPRL (Imperial Planetary Robotics Lab) for their fantastic result at #ERC2023! 🎉 As part of @ICSpaceSoc at @imperialcollege, IPRL is a student-led research team dedicated to space engineering and robotics. 🌌 (1/3)

The clock is ticking! Final applications to apply your skills to spacetech at orionhack.space are due. 🚀🔭🔬🤖💊🌟🧑‍🚀🪐 Deadline: Thursday 23:59 BST submissions close.

We have qualified for the @rover.challenge finals!! This is our very first time entering this competition. We had to move fast - in fact all work done so far has been done since Oct 2022! We are more motivated than ever to keep working on our rover!

Too much talent in Europe feels that spacetech is out of reach for them to work on. That is why I wanted to make OrionHack - bringing together the best talent involved in spacetech-adjacent fields to build community, skills, and ambition... 1/3

Today @RAeSSpaceECS welcomed students from UK university #space societies to @AeroSociety HQ. They shared their experiences with each other, and the society, and built relationships for future collaboration. Thank you @Skyrora_Ltd for supporting and presenting on UK #Launch.

We’ve uploaded the talk @robert_zubrin gave to us this last week! Thanks again Link below

We are so excited to be hosting @robert_zubrin at our event today! “How to get to Mars in a decade” Event details below!

@ICSpaceSoc @spacegovuk @sciencemuseum @VirginOrbit @SpaceCornwall @imperialcollege @NHM_London It is here until tomorrow - the events are open tomorrow from 11am til 4pm and until 6pm tonight!

@spacegovuk @sciencemuseum @VirginOrbit @SpaceCornwall @SouthKensington @imperialcollege @NHM_London How long will it be at South Kensington for?

We’re at the @sciencemuseum to see a full-size replica of @VirginOrbit’s LauncherOne rocket that will launch from @SpaceCornwall. 🚀   Come see the rocket for yourself, plus enjoy loads of free exciting space-themed events! 🪐 🌕🌎

Go see it by campus!

On 11th June, we launched our rocket Zeus I! We travelled to Midlands, and the weather was good this time. Sadly, the parachute did not deploy, and we lost the rocket completely, which is a bit of shame.🙁I am looking for similar space adventures with @ICSpaceSoc!🚀🛰️

Our rocket was ready, but the weather wasn't!🙁 Last Sunday, we wanted to launch our NRC rocket built by @ICSpaceSoc. Clouds prevented us from launching, but we enjoyed talking to other fellow rocketers. We are looking forward to the next launch event! #Rockets #EARS #ICSS 🚀📡☁️

Thank you to @Unipisa Dr Baú for coming to @imperialcollege to give his tutorial on Non singular orbital elements!

Prizes set up at the Hackspace for LEOHack!

Coming to @ICAHackspace next weekend...
