Cosmic Research
Students from Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya developing low-cost suborbital rockets for peaceful applications. Open for sponsorships.
Cosmic Research is a rocketry student-run non-profit society from Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) based in Terrassa, Spain, developing low-cost suborbital rockets for peaceful applications. On March 2017, we launched Resnik, the highest-flying rocket ever launched by students in Spain to date. We have extensive experience in developing and testing solid rocket motors, namely Nebula-I &

Our New Christa rocket is ready! 🚀
At Cosmic Research, we’ve been working on this project for months and we’re thrilled to announce that the manufacturing and testing phase is now complete.
New Christa is an upgraded version of the original Christa, offering improved reusability and reliability. 📈
Its main mission is to act as a Cansat launcher, capable of carrying up to six payloads.
This milestone reflects the dedication, teamwork, and engineering effort behind every detail of the rocket.
The next step… launch 🔥
Stay tuned.

We keep on working!🔧
At Cosmic Research we’re proud to give you a sneak peak at Lovelace, the board that will command the improved version of our CanSat carrier rocket: New Christa.🚀
In comparison to the previous board, this design is made entirely in-house. In addition, it incorporates a series of redundant systems to ensure that both the rocket and mission are always in good hands.🌟
But why Lovelace?
Ada Lovelace was an English mathematician and visionary from the nineteenth century to whom it is attributed the creation of the first computer program, making her a pioneer in the world of computing.👩💻 We wanted to pay her this small tribute by immortalizing her name in our project as a way to continue inspiring future generations, just like she did.💡

🚀 Last week we had the pleasure of visiting 's facilities to learn more about 3D printing! 🖨
IMES3D is a leading engineering, consulting, and 3D printing company known for its impressive filament, JFM, and SLS printer farm.
During our training, they walked us through the operation and maintenance of their printer — and we can confirm, it’s absolutely amazing! 🔥
💙 Additionally, they’ve become our newest sponsor and have provided us with an Ultimaker S5! With its dual extruder, large print volume, and top-tier performance, it allows us to achieve detailed, high-quality, and professional results for our rocket projects. 🚀
We’re truly grateful for their help and collaboration! 🙌🏻

🚀 This past weekend we launched our newest rocket along with Spain Rocketry. Named Weber after the astronaut and chemist Mary Ellen Weber, who took part in two Shuttle missions and many discoveries in the materials field. 👩🏻🚀🔬
Weber was developed in three distinct variants, each crafted to collect critical flight data for validating our in-house flight simulator, Gladys 🎯. More than just a testbed, Weber provided our newest team members with hands-on experience in both rocket design and real-world launch operation. 🛠
All the mission objectives were achieved, as the data was successfully recovered and we are eager to see the results of the improved simulator in future launches!! ✅️🌌
We greatly appreciate the help and support from and everyone who participated in the event as well as all the sponsors who made this launch a success!! 🙌🏻✨️

Another edition of SURTAM comes to a close!!
The past 7th, 8th and 9th of May we were honored to participate in the 3rd edition of the Spanish University Rocketry Teams Annual Meeting in Madrid hosted at ETSIAE, an event we have attended since its first edition. ✨🌌
We had the opportunity to meet with people from the other teams, catch up with them and exchange information and experiences in an environment of friendly competition. We also learned a lot from the many presentations, round tables and workshops. We took the opportunity to explain our experience at Spaceport America Cup 2024 with our latest and most ambitious rocket yet, Lucid.🌠🚀
It is always a pleasure to see the progress of the other teams as well as see new ones being created all around the country!! Many thanks to the entire organization of SURTAM, the sponsors who made the event possible, the other attending teams and everyone who took the time to go through our stand and ask questions!! 🕵️🤔
