ABOUT US
The Team Abhyuday- Rocketry team from IIT Madras is a group of 31 students from 9 Academic disciplines who are united by their common passion for Rocketry and the construction of reusable Sounding Rockets. The team is affiliated with IIT Madras Centre for Innovation(CFI) and aspires to touch the sky with its glory.
MISSION
Team Abhyuday aims to compete in Spaceport America Cup, 2023 - an annual event organised by Experimental Sounding Rocket Association (ESRA), USA. We are the only IIT to get selected for the world’s largest intercollegiate rocketry competition in its first attempt. More than 150 Universities from around the world compete in the SA Cup competition to launch rockets to a height of 10K or 30K feet.
We also intend to build a CanSat platform to function as the rocket's payload. CanSat is a simplified version of a satellite that can collect measurements during flight and transmit them to a ground station in real time. CanSat is a versatile platform that can be used for a variety of experiments.
VISION
We intend to build a sounding rocket that will compete with the world's best Rocketry minds. Our vision is to develop a Liquid Propulsion system, as well as to innovate the nosecone and fins to achieve the highest performance from our rocket. We also want to promote model rocketry culture in IITs and throughout India.
OUR ROCKET
We live in an era of outstanding scientific marvels and rocketry reigns supreme. Sounding rockets provide cost-effective solutions for testing equipment, conducting experiments and probing the upper atmosphere region. We are developing the ‘Mocking-Jay’, a single-stage solid propellent sounding rocket that can carry a 6 kg payload to a target altitude of 10K feet before being recovered by two- parachute systems.
HOW CAN YOU HELP US
We have a fantastic dedicated team and we always strive to achieve our objectives. Starting from scratch, we managed to design a prototype in four months. We ask you to put your faith in us for something that advocates a bright future.
Our estimated budget for this year is 36.7 lakhs and the subsequent breakdown has been provided below presentation. We need your support more than ever to help us to achieve our goals. We look forward to your support and believe you can be an important promoter in our mission and vision, as well as the impact we hope to achieve.
How the funds will be spent -
- Components required to construct the rocket
- Propulsion Motor to provide thrust to our rocket
- Competition expenses
