Payload inspection
Teams checked electronics and integration details before flight activity.
Launch Event 2026
The final launch event for the university student pathway, bringing together the climate science payloads students designed and built.
From workshop to launchpad
A shared moment for the programme
In 2026, participating university rocketry teams came together with the systems they had designed and built. The event created space for final preparation, inspection, knowledge-sharing and launch activity.
Bringing the teams together made the wider programme visible: individual projects became part of one collaborative effort to develop practical rocketry skills and climate-focused payload technology.
