University Space Flight Society Pursues Space Boundary
Goal The Cambridge University Space Flight Society was established in 2006 mainly by engineering students with the 100km goal in mind.
The Kármán line is known as the boundary of space at 100km (62 miles) above earth. The society has built several rockets and engines, including Griffin I, which is capable of reaching an altitude of 150km (93 miles) if launched successfully. Elisabeth Rakozy said the 100-strong Cambridge University Space Flight Society hoped to pass the Kármán line, 100km (62 miles) above earth, within the next two years.
The society has previously launched rockets and high altitude balloons from locations in Cambridge and the United States. It received support from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the United States.
