Space Enterprise at Berkeley - Karman or Bust - Spaceshot Rocket Engine Hardware

Maker Faire Bay Area 2024

October 18th-20th

Coal Shed 1 Exhibit Rockets Ribbon Recipient

Space Enterprise at Berkeley is a liquid rocketry club aiming to be the first collegiate team to reach space with a liquid-bipropellant vehicle! We have launched UC Berkeley's first two liquid bipropellant rockets, successfully hotfired our first liquid bipropellant engine 'Lightbulb' over 20 times, were the first college team to successfully throttle a liquid bipropellant rocket, and were the first team to successfully complete the thrust vector control (TVC) portion of the Lander Challenge.

We are currently developing our spaceshot engine, 'Heavybulb', which is UC Berkeley's first regeneratively-cooled liquid bipropellant engine. We'll be showcasing the first iteration of this engine at Makerfaire along with other critical system hardware that is in the works.
