Space Club works on a variety of projects, both technical and non-technical. Rocketary plays a significant role in these initiatives. Model rocket clubs offer many opportunities. EPLV-1.1 represents a significant achievement for the space club. EPLV-1.1's primary goal was to achieve its apogee (1km), release its parachute successfully, and recover completely. The next rocket will have a 3 kilometre apogee, data collection, successful parachute deployment, successful cube satellite deployment through it, and last but not least, 100 percent recovery of every part of it.

Along with the rocket, we built a baloon satellite that reached a height of 15 kilometres and successfully captured the Earth's edge with a pi-cam. Cansats was also done by Space Club (a satellite module which fits in a soda can).

Recent Rocket Projects

EPLV 1.1

7 March 2022

Motor - J class
Body tube - PVC
Nozzel - C- D
Nose cone - 3 d printed
Purpose - To present the rocket project to ISRO scientists and recover rocket successfully by using Ejection charge technique and gather different data like acceleration, velocity using BMP 280 and MPU 6050
Results - The rocket is recover successfully and all of the components were safe.

Tri-Colour Rocket

26 January 2022

Motor - D class
Body tube - cardboard
Nose cone - cardboard
Purpose - To test all the subsystem including motor, structure and recovery
Results - The rocket was unable to lift due to a motor failure.

EPLV 1.1

14 December 2021

Motor - J class
Body tube - PVC
Nozzel - C- D
Nose cone - 3 d printed
Purpose - To recover rocket successfully by using Ejection charge technique and gather different data like acceleration, velocity using BMP 280 and MPU 6050
Results - The rocket is recover successfully and all of the components were safe.

EPLV 0.1

21 September 2021

Motor - J class
Body tube - PVC
Nozzel - C D
Nose cone - 3 d printed
Purpose - To recover rocket successfully
Results - deployment is unsuccessful and rocket fall with high velocity most of the part are damaged.

Pheonix 3.0

10 January 2019

Motor: J grade Made up of stainless steel
Nozzle: C-D
Body Tube : PVC
Nosecone : 3D printed
Purpose : SDNx Rocketry competetion 1 Km Height achived
Result: Overall Winner of the competetion and 1KM height achieved.

Pheonix 2.0

Motor: I grade Made up of Aluminium 6065 grade
Nozzle: C-D
Body Tube: PVC
Nosecone: 3D printed
Purpose: To test motor , deployment and suitability of Al(Aluminium) 6065 for motor
Result: Motor and Al material was successful but due to heat Al tends to bend if deployment is unsucessful and rocket fail with high velocity

Pheonix 1.0

Motor: H grade made from ASTM
Nozzle: 3 normal and 1 C-D
Body Tube: PVC
Nosecone: Made from bottles
Purpose: On the occasion of Science Day and to test the new long range wireless ignition system
Result: 3 Rockets with normal nozzle acheived height of 250 meters and 1 Rocket with CD nozzle achieved 350 meter.

Recent Satellite Projects

Can Sat

21 March 2021

A Can Sat is a simulation of a real satellite, integrated within the volume and shape of a soft drink can.The challenge for the students is to fit all the major subsystems found in a satellite, such as power, sensors, and a communication system, into this minimal volume. The Can Sat is then launched to an altitude of a few hundred meters for testing.

Balloon Satellite

28th Feb 2018

Balloon Satellite was launched on 28th Feb 2018. The aim was to collect dust above the ozone layer. Sample was delivered to well known institute IISER(Bhopal) because the scientist from IISER Bhopal wanted to study how the organisms at that altitude survive in an environment with high UV rays. The satellite reached 33 Km altitude and was successfully recovered from 150 Km from launch site.( RIT College Pandharpur)

Uno Sat

24 July 2019

Uno sat was a small satellite built for testing the communication model ZigBee. Before jumping into a balloon satellite project, it’s essential for making a small prototype. As a balloon satellite one mission was to communicate at a range of 28 km it was key to studying the various communication model

Load Cell

15 August 2021

Motor - D class
Body tube - cardboard
Nose cone - cardboard
Purpose - To test all the subsystem including motor, structure and recovery
Results - The rocket was unable to lift due to a motor failure.

Yagi-Uda Antenna

26 January 2022

Antenna design necessitates precise calculation and implementation. Club members created an antenna to radio link the ISS using available materials. Material selection is also an important consideration. Before radio linking, it is important to determine the current time and location of the ISS in the sky. The Yagi-Uda Antenna is widely recognized for its excellent gain and directivity. A Yagi-Uda antenna is made up of three basic components: the driving element, the reflector, and the directors.
