In Partnership with Cumbria University
In 2010 Rocket embarked on a Space Campus partnership with Cumbria University. The university runs a BSc honours course in Applied Computing and for part of this final year for the students requires them to undertake a group project, this year being set by Rocket.
There are 8 students in the final year of the course and these have been put into one large project team allowing each member a 3 week slot at project management as well as other roles within the team. The students have been given 2 requirements from Rocket and will be delivering:
