World Champions

Team GB Juniors won Gold in 2023 at the USA World Space Modelling Championships for their S2/p rockets. The team flew self-built, precision payload rockets with the aim of hitting a target altitude of 1000ft, remaining in the air for 60 seconds, and cushioning an egg such that it withstood 3 consecutive launches!
