With great proud we announce that our subteam DAWN won the main UniversiteitsFonds teamwork prize! DAWN was awarded the prize for their efforts in designing the hybrid engine which is to power the Stratos II rocket. The team spent the last three years designing, building and validating various hybrid test engines. Virtually all work was performed in the free time of the team members and on a tight budget. These efforts are now cumulating in the upcoming hot fire tests of the massive 200.000 Ns Aurora engine which is to be the final flight model engine.

In total 15 student team applied for the UfD teamwork prize, which was this year sponsored by IHC Merwede. Team ATMOS which is developing an unmanned aerial vehicle and the Vertical Cities Asia team shared a common second and third prize.
