Hello UMBC Community!
We are seeking new members for the UMBC chapter for the American Institute of Astronautics and Aeronautics! We are a professional society serving as the focal point for all things aerospace related on the UMBC campus. If you would like to be put on our email mailing list, please email us at umbcaiaa@gmail.com!
We currently have a Design Build Fly Team and are looking to form a CanSat team and two aerospace robotics teams. We also have the opportunity to participate in software design competitions and tissue development competitions through NASA.
Design Build Fly: Team goes through the full product life cycle for a remote controlled airplane that has to meet specific mission guidelines that change every year. This year's competition is in Arizona.
CanSat: Team designs and builds a rocket and atmosphere vehicle. The rocket must launch and have the vehicle detach from it. The vehicle then glides down to the surface taking and transmitting measurements as it goes.
Robotics Competitions: An email has been sent out with a massive list of possible national aerospace robotics competitions. We are looking to field two more teams this year based on popularity. Join us today to receive details and cast your vote for which team you would like to see formed!
Other: You do not have to be an engineer to join our organization! The more members we have the merrier. The more members we have from different fields, the more we can branch out into other competitions.
Best,
UMBC AIAA
