🎉 Meet your Executives for 2026! 🎉

First up we have Kiara, our fantastic Welfare Officer! Always working hard to keep Bluesat a welcoming and safe space!

We’d like to give a big thank you to Ansys and Leap Australia for their ongoing support of Bluesat UNSW in providing both training and software across the Ansys Suite! Their softwares have been crucial in testing and validating the systems built across our society. Post the Australian Rover Challenge 2026, our Off-World Robotics team have been simulating the structural integrity of our drive train using Ansys Mechanical, utilising key features of Ansys’ meshing and simulations to validate our drive train uprights and wheels for continued use in the Australian Rover Challenge 2027 ⚙️
