UCF IREC 2020

From Sub-Scale Launch to Critical Design Review,

Our NASA Student Launch team has been hard at work facing the various trials and tribulations it’s taken to launch their sub-scale and present their critical design review to NASA.

However, through their perseverance, they were able to successfully recover their rocket and get through the rigorous questions NASA asked them.

We cannot wait to see them excel through the manufacturing phase and onward!

update to our first general body meeting of tonight: it will not take place in HS1 112!!! We’ll talk about what projects we offer, how kxr can contribute to your professional career, and how you can get involved! hope to see you all tonight!!

Our first general body meeting of the semester is TOMORROW!! if you want to find out how to get involved with us and know more about our projects, be sure to pass by tomorrow!!!!

we’re proud to announce that KXR is now officially sponsored by Blue Origin! Thank you so much to the Blue Origin team for supporting the technical development of our projects and professional development of our students!

Meet our Liquid Bi-Propellant team, aiming to build UCF’s most powerful liquid bi-prop system to compete in FAR Dollar Per Foot competition in Mojave, California. On Friday, the team successfully presented their PDR, and soon manufacturing of the engine “Valkryie” will begin! Congratulations to the team! 🎉

Tonight our Ion Propulsion team presented their PDR! We are so extremely proud to have this team working towards creating an experimental ion thruster - a milestone not done by many universities, especially student lead designs. KXR encourages students to innovate and pursue their ideas, and we’re so excited to see this Ion thruster, “Zeus” enter the manufacturing stage. Congratulations to the team!

HUGE congratulations to our IREC team for finalizing and presenting their preliminary designs. The entire IREC team has put a huge amount of work and effort into our IREC rocket “Pegasus.” This is a huge accomplishment, but still only one of the first steps of many. Manufacturing next! 🛠️🚀

Join us for our LAST general body meeting of the semester tomorrow at 7:30pm! Hope to see everyone there!

Today our students participating in the NASA Student Launch Initiative project presented their preliminary design review to a panel of judges, to critique and improve their current design. The NASA student launch team has also been working on a subscale model of their rocket.

We are so proud of the work everyone in the project has put into it, and how great it’s been coming along!

KXR will be having a partial proceeds event at Chipotle November 1st! Be sure to pass by to show support for the club and to come hang out! All the proceeds go directly to funding our projects 🚀

General Body Meeting tomorrow at 7:30pm in CB1 207.

GBM will focus on club updates and project objectives. Come for a good time with KXR!

KXR will be the recognized student organization at this week’s space game vs Temple!! Some of our members will be walking out on the field at the end of the first quarter. We’re so excited to be given this opportunity and share more insight about what KXR stands for. We will also be tailgating before the football game, spots 209 & 210. Come check us out!!
