RIT SPEX Crowdfunding 2019

SPEX helps its members develop their technical skills through workshops and project experience. Together we develop novel technologies such as high altitude balloons, rocket nozzles, satellite payloads, rovers, and communication systems. In addition we conduct research into astronomy and astrophotography with our astrotracking team.

This year we are seeking funding for:

• Our Rovers team competing in the 2021 University Rover Challenge Robotics (URC) Competition. Learn about it here

• Our IREC team competing in the 2020 Intercollegiate Rocket Engineering Competition (IREC). Learn about it here

• Developing a next generation High Altitude Balloon payload. Learn about it here

• Funds for our so our Astrodynamics team can continue to support the RIT observatory. Learn about it here

It is truly a wonderful opportunity to equip students with tools for success in the aerospace industry. However, providing these services to students comes at a financial cost. Creating payloads for high altitude balloons (HAB), maintaining our telescopes, and satellite development is expensive and we need your help to continue to offer this invaluable service to students. We ask you to consider a small donation to our group so we can help students reach for the stars.
