Spaceport America Cup 2023

Despite a brief slowdown over the COVID-19 pandemic and off-campus learning, Bluesat has returned stronger than ever. Demonstrating this to the world was our entrance of a payload in the Spaceport America Cup in the United States; a joint venture with UNSW Rocketry. Our 4U cubesat form factor DLP 3D printer designed to work in microgravity preventing cavitation and be insensitive to pressure changes won us an honourable mention by the judges in a competition where much of the judging was done based on the rockets themselves. Our payload was flown to 30,000 ft and returned safely on UNSW Rocketry's “Archangel”.
