UKSEDS Mach-23 Rocket and Payload team

The Mach-2 team is reconfigured last year's Sparrow rocket, adapted for a lower apogee - a two-stage COTS solid motor rocket, to fly to 2.5 km and deploy a payload at apogee. The payload will scatter seeds on descent and aims demonstrate a novel method to increase launch site biodiversity.

The team

Our team comprised of 12 students this year successfully launched from a range of courses, including Astronautics and Space Engineering, Aerospace Vehicle Design, and Autonomous Vehicle Design and Control. The team launched from Machrihanish Air Base, Argyll with their deployable biodiversity-focused payload.

We have specialisms in Mechanical, Avionics, Recovery, and Propulsion, and every team member also contributes to the development of the payload.
