The world's largest intercollegiate rocket engineering conference and competition
|
Over 1,100 students and faculty gathered in Southern New Mexico for the Inaugural Spaceport America Cup in 2017. Drawn by the opportunity to collaborate and compete at a world class spaceport facility, they represented the best and brightest from more than 70 institutions located all across the USA and around the world.

The Second Annual Spaceport America Cup will occur 19-23 June 2018 at the Las Cruces, NM Convention Center and the Spaceport America Vertical Launch Area. After presenting results from a year or more of research & development to peers and prospective employers in an academic conference, student teams will put their designs to the ultimate test by attempting launch under real world conditions at Spaceport America.
