Students from several UFPel programs and members of the Rocket Team belonging to the institution Center for Engineering participated in the Spaceport America Cup 2018, a rocket launch competition that took place in the state of New Mexico in the United States. The event featured competitors from around the world, including two other teams from Brazilian universities. The UFPel team built the entire rocket system, such as the propulsion, electronic and structural systems, which required, in addition to handling financial limitations, a well-designed and solid theoretical project.
