The EPFL Rocket Team came to the swiss aeropole Technology Park for a full day of testing.
The team tested its student-built rocket “Bächi” in controlled airspace. [to be completed: nature of the tests, only if validated by the team] Watching a group of passionate engineering students go through every step of the process is a reminder of how much work goes into aerospace innovation.
The weather could not have been better: clear blue skies, sunshine and calm wind, ideal conditions for testing.
The EPFL Rocket Team in brief
The EPFL Rocket Team is a student association that designs and builds rockets. It brings together more than 200 members and aims to involve them in space technology projects, in collaboration with academia and industry partners. Among its projects, it develops bi-liquid rockets for international competitions, with the long-term ambition of reaching space.
