Members of the In Space scientific club operating at the Wrocław University of Technology are preparing to participate in the student rocket competition Intercollegiate Rocket Engineering Competition. Over 120 student teams from all over the world have applied for the competition in the USA.

Wrocław students will start in the category of rockets powered by hybrid engines. Their engine will consist of two main parts: a cylinder with an oxidizer – nitrous oxide and combustion chamber filled with fuel – polypropylene. The most important task of the rocket is to rise to 10,000. feet, or exactly 3048 m. For each meter more or less the team will lose points.

According to student estimates, their rocket – “Ninety Nine” – will weigh about 18 kg and measure about 2.6 m. Its proper functioning is to provide three main electronic circuits. In addition, it will transmit its GPS position and speed and altitude data in real time.
