Last weekend, we took our Gryphon II rocket to Fairlie Moor in Scotland, hoping to do a high-altitude launch at IRW 2024. Unfortunately, due to some unexpected behavior from one of our flight computers, we decided to abort the launch in the interest of safety until we figured out what was going on. We’ve since traced the issue to a faulty switch and a short circuit due to a degraded part, and we are working on resolving this in the coming days. We will fly again soon, and we’ll keep you posted! 🚀 Despite not getting to launch last weekend, our team had an amazing time working on G2 together, camping, and socializing with other rocketry teams and enthusiasts! Thank you to John, Chris, Dave, and everyone who lent us a hand, and to GU Rocketry for their comprehensive suggestions for a day out in Glasgow! Here’s a reel of our weekend’s highlights. 😎 #rocket #launch #space #aerospace #rocketscience #rocketlaunch #leeds https://lnkd.in/eAD8A-Gw

We are excited for the second launch of our flagship rocket, the Gryphon II at International Rocketry Week! 🚀 We are ready to fire to 16,000 feet as part of the testing process of this rocket. This is part of our goal to beat the student altitude record. #rocketry #leedsrocketry #studentrocketry

Last week, we took part in the Race2Space competition in Westcott with our bipropellant engine, Louie. This marked our first time using liquid oxygen, and it led to some explosive results! We had a wonderful time and would like to extend our thanks to Alistair John for his time and effort in organizing the event. Looking forward to next year! 🚀 #leeds #leedsrocketry #race2space #rocketry

LURA's Project Silverback team are thrilled to return to Race2Space this year hosted by the The University of Sheffield!
