About us


CU Spaceflight is a society at the University of Cambridge founded and run by students for students. Our aims are to:

  • Promote space exploration.
  • Start and support projects with space applications.
  • Work with other universities and groups to increase interest in space.

CUSF consists of three projects; these are geared respectively towards providing an efficient launch platform for the rocket (Nova), a precise means of recovery (Meteor) and designing and refining the rocket itself (Martlet).

CU Spaceflight is open to all students at Cambridge and we welcome students from all backgrounds and disciplines.
A copy of our constitution is available here.
