Latin American Space Challenge | Team 'Volta'

The Latin American Space Challenge (LASC) is an international rocket and satellite competition where participating teams aim to reach a designated apogee and design a functional satellite for future space missions. The Volta team designed and built a rocket to compete in the 1 km apogee category and developed a CanSat satellite to conduct atmospheric characterization for future chemical transport model (CTM) analyses.

Due to unfavorable weather conditions on the launch day, the Volta team could not complete its participation in LASC. However, the CanSat VoyagerOne placed third in the PocketQube/CanSat category, and the rocket DeltaOne secured fourteenth place in the 1 km rocket category. More details on this LASC edition and its results can be found here. Additionally, more information about the CanSat VoyagerOne and its project is available here.

These results contributed to the creation of the first rocketry research division within the Delta V research group. To stay updated on the project and team, visit their Instagram profile. View profile.
