Join us June 18th through the 22nd for the third annual Spaceport America Cup. The Cup is designed around the Intercollegiate Rocket Engineering Competition - for student rocketry teams. This competition hosts teams from American and International Colleges and Universities. With over 122 teams registered in 2019 from around the globe, the competition will be challenging for the participants and exciting for spectators. University students will be launching solid, liquid, and hybrid rockets to target altitudes of 10,000 and 30,000 feet.
Presentation and Conference Day is FREE for the public to attend |
The world's largest intercollegiate rocket engineering conference and competition
