3,2,1 blast off for UL’s high powered rocketry team
The aeronautical society were supported by Analog Devices
THIRTY-FIVE students from University of Limerick’s Aeronautical Society High Powered Rocketry Team (ULAS-HiPR) will be showcasing their work in Scotland next week at MACH-24.
These kinds of competitions aim to foster innovation, design and development, with aeronautical and software engineering students, among others.
The sponsorship from Analog Devices (ADI), who are based in Raheen has allowed the team of students to buy components for their piece, as well as giving them the opportunity to travel to Scotland.
The team from Analog Devices have also provided guidance and technical expertise, which has been invaluable.
“We are incredibly grateful to Analog Devices for their support and collaboration,” said Karl Gilmartin, a member of the ULAS-HiPR team.
“Their commitment to our project has been invaluable, allowing us to pursue our passion for rocketry and bring our projects to the next level,” he added.
“ADI remains passionately immersed in the aerospace ecosystems of Ireland and Europe, believing that nurturing our next generation of talent is crucial for our long-term success.
