ESRA hosts annual Intercollegiate Rocket Engineering Competitions every June near Green River, Utah, USA. With the inclusion of teams from Canada, Brazil, India, and Turkey in recent years, they are now in fact international competitions (though they haven’t decided to add that to the name yet…).
The emphasis of the ESRA rocket competitions is student design and construction of as many parts of the rockets as possible, including propulsion, structures, avionics, recovery, and payloads. They don’t prohibit commercial components or rockets, but more points are given for student-designed and -built hardware. They have two categories at the Competitions: Basic and Advanced. The Basic Category is to launch and recover a rocket with 10-lb payload closest to 10,000 feet above ground level (AGL). The Advanced Category is to launch and recover a rocket with 10-lb payload closest to 25,000 feet AGL. Congratulations to the following winning teams in the 9th Intercollegiate Rocket Engineering Competition! Basic Category (10-lb payload to 10,000 ft AGL): 1st Place: Oregon State University 2nd Place: ETS Montreal Advanced Category (10-lb payload to 25,000 ft AGL): 1st Place: Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal 2nd Place: ETS Montreal Jim Furfaro Award for Technical Excellence: University of Washington R.Gilbert Moore Award for Innovation: University of Toronto Payload Award: Oregon State University
