We want to shout out for sponsoring a set of DJI Goggles N3 and a DJI O4 Air Unit Pro! We used these contributions during our Launch Canada Competition to take an aerial video of our 2025 SUNBURST Rocket launching in Timmins, Ontario!

We appreciate DronePoint supporting our engineering design team and helping us push the boundaries of what rockets we can build and how we capture them. Drone components like these make a huge difference in in upgrading our social media presence and capturing high-quality footage of our rocket projects in action 🚀

This year’s IREC competition was an incredible journey for our team! After months of dedication, innovation, and hard work, our rocket Sunburst successfully launched and was fully recovered on June 12th, earning us 6th place in the 30k COTS category! 🚀

We’re deeply grateful to our amazing crowdfunding supporters, featured in our post—Sunburst wouldn’t have flown without you. Thank you for believing in us! 🫶

With the Launch Canada Challenge fast approaching, our team is already back in the workshop, making improvements and getting Sunburst ready for its next flight. Stay tuned for our next competition journey!

We would like to give a huge thank you to everyone who donated to help us reach our crowdfunding goal! Your support means so much to us, so to show our thanks we will be writing the names of everyone who donated on this year’s COTS rocket, Sunburst!

But we are not done! If you would like to get your name on Sunburst, you can still donate! The crowdfunding link is in our bio! Any and all donations are greatly appreciated. Thank you for helping us achieve our goals! 🚀🚀🚀

UBC Rocket has just launched a crowdfunding campaign to help cover expenses for our three competitions coming up this summer! This is our most ambitious year yet, with five big projects competing in at least one competition. Most notably, all of our projects will be competing in the 2025 Launch Canada Challenge this August!

We are so grateful to be able to work on and launch our amazing creations, but unfortunately they come at high costs. We need your support to fund our solid rocket motors, fuel and oxidizer for our liquid rocket launch and hotfire operations, as well as any competition entry and travel costs.

Our goal is to raise $2000 by the end of our campaign, April 14th. We would greatly appreciate any donations, as well as sharing with family and friends to spread the word! The link to support is in our bio. Thank you for helping us reach new heights!🚀🚀🚀
