Thank you to all friends, family, and supports of UCI Rocket Project who have donated to our ZotFunder! We are beyond grateful to everyone for helping us raise nearly $4,000. This will immensely help us with acquiring our remaining components needed to fully finish UCI’s first liquid bipropellant rocket. Additionally, be prepared to tune in to a live stream on our launch day, Saturday May 28, and see the rocket you helped fund launch from the Friends of Amateur Rocketry Site! Please follow our instagram and check our website for updates and snippets of the team as well as more info regarding the launch as launch day approaches.

Since the Campaign concluded, we have been able to purchase much of our final recovery equipment (shock cords, deployment bags, links, etc.), had our tanks welded, many avionics parts (sensors and connectors), completed our BVAS (Bleed Valve Actuation System), restocked lab supplies (PPE, fasteners, epoxies, etc.), and much more! This has allowed us to perform many “Cold Flow” tests (plumbing and avionics tests, and testing procedure familiarization), which are vital to a successful VTF (Vertical Test Fire) and Launch. 

 While the ZotFunder campaign has officially concluded, we’d appreciate any donations and re-sharing of our goals and missions. Additionally, our merch store is always available if you want to grab yourself some UCI Rocket Project branded gear! Again, we sincerely thank everyone who participated in this fundraiser. Know that your assistance is helping shape future generations of engineers.
