Whilst the team are on lockdown, we thought we'd test out the new 3D printer ready for our payload frame.
Here's our 3D print expert supervising the first rocket prototype print.

Hello world. This is a new club established to engage, support and connect OU students with an interest in any element of space science. Hopefully we can build a fun and interesting OU space community together! #OUSpaceStudents@OpenUniversity@OU_SPS@OUstudents@UKSEDS
2/ This means our rocket and payload build is planned to go ahead this summer depending on the lockdown status. Given that we have extra time, we are making changes for a 30,000 feet launch and expanding our space radiation experiment payload.
We hope you all stay safe and well.
1/ Sad news that the Spaceport America Cup has been completely cancelled for this year, but with the current situation this seems to be the best decision.

Fortunately for us, we have been able to secure a place in next years competition.
Due to pandemic and travel bans the team have decided to postpone our launch in the Spaceport America Cup until next year. We will still be continuing to build the rocket with current raised funds and will resume crowdfunding in the near future.
We hope you stay safe and well.

@saltburnlass The OU has discontinued its use of Hubbub crowdfunding apparently and this maybe gives the error when trying to access it now but we can log in and see the history.
