UKROC 2026 – Meet the Teams – Team The Three Rocketeers
In the lead up to the UKROC 2026 National Final, we’re spotlighting the teams behind the rockets! Meet Team The Three Rocketeers…
Intro
- Team name – The Three Rocketeers
- School/club – The Henrietta Barnett School
- Region/location – London
- Fun fact – Our rocket launch at the regional event was our first ever rocket launch!
How did you find out about UKROC?
We were looking for an aerospace-related competition to enter and knew a team that had previously competed in UKROC. We then found more details through the UKROC website.
What have you enjoyed most about the UKROC project?
We really enjoyed being able to apply our mathematical and physical skills while designing a rocket. The opportunity to learn how to use simulation software such as OpenRocket to simulate and predict the rocket’s flight gave an insight into how the industry works on a smaller scale. The most exciting part by far, however, would be when we launched the rocket for the first time at the regionals, as we didn’t get to test before the competition. We were all astounded when the rocket took off and the parachute finally deployed!
Would you encourage other teams to enter the competition?
Yes, as it is an incredibly enriching experience. Not only did we have fun as a team designing and constructing the rocket, we also learnt more about the processes undertaken by the aerospace industry.
