Making the most of their summer break, our Aerospace Club, UC Aerospace, have been trying to break the world amateur altitude record and reach space with their student-designed and built high-powered sounding rocket.🚀 bit.ly/3LHM61G

In late January, UC Aerospace conducted a launch attempt of their latest ‘Into the Black’ rocket with the Spaceshot goal of reaching space and an apogee of 140km 🚀 #Aerospace #aerospacechristchurch #launch
