Since the launch of our Preliminary Test Rocket (PTR) in the Spring of 2023, we have been working hard on the design of its successor, MOCH4, to smash the collegiate methalox altitude record next year! As we aim to push the boundaries of collegiate liquid rocketry, we are preparing for a year of testing and hot fires, culminated by a launch in Spring 2025. Achieving a two-year cycle to launch UCI's second liquid rocket would be a huge feat—but we need YOUR support to help make it happen! We just launched our 2024 ZotFunder Campaign as a way of getting involved, where your contribution isn't just a donation—it's a chance to fuel our mission and be part of history in the making. Plus, an exclusive offer awaits our top three donors if we hit out $15k goal: a front-row seat at the historic launch in the Mojave Desert, CA! We can’t thank you enough for your support, and can’t wait to share our progress with you! Donate: https://lnkd.in/gKt2V_xQ
