Who we are
We are the Escape Velocity Rocketry Student Team, of the Obuda University.
The team currently consists of ten members: Our expertise is quite diverse. However, there are still areas where we lack dedicated members, so we plan to recruit new team members in the near future. Each team member is passionate about rocket science and space exploration, and we are eager to learn new skills needed for rocket building.
The beginning
We started development from scratch in 2023. Since we had no direct experience in rocket design and lacked a significant budget, we dedicated a lot of time to learning and gathering information.Most of our achievements were showcased at 2024’s Researchers’ Night event at Bánki Donát Faculty of Mechanical and Safety Engineering. The achievements were such as various propellant tests, a custom nozzle manufactured using a 3D-printed mold, and the thrust measurement test bench that we completely designed and built ourselves. This was a significant task as it required collaboration across multiple disciplines. One team member built the frame, another programmed the necessary code for the Arduino, and to ensure fast measurements, another developed a high-speed amplifier for the system.
