SPACEPORT AMERICA CUP 2022 , THE LARGEST ROCKETRY COMPETITION IN THE WORLD & MY DAUGHTER'S TEAM…read moreWON. TEAM USYD & ROCKET - BLUEWREN (NEW Revised with additional data and sound adjustments, for love and respect of our daughter who has followed a dream I had 40 years ago....) 2022 "Spaceport America Cup" drew participants from 22 Competing Countries, over 150 Competing Teams and over 1700 Aerospace Students from around the world. We were always extremely proud of Sarah (2022 Rocket Recovery Engineer USYD Rocketry Team), she and her Team just upped the ante on Awesome....... "Spaceport America Cup" is the world's largest intercollegiate rocketry competition made up of students from all over the world who now travel to Las Cruces New Mexico in the USA to showcase their engineering skills. Home of Spaceport America, Las Cruises New Mexico, USA. ESRA, the Experimental Sounding Rocket Association, originally partnered with Spaceport America 5-years ago, the world's first purpose-built commercial spaceport located in southern New Mexico, to offer academia and industry a unique opportunity to collaborate, compete and inspire the next generation of aerospace engineers and scientists. Beginning in 2017, ESRA's Intercollegiate Rocket Engineering Competition (IREC) became the flagship activity of a new annual event called the Spaceport America Cup (SA Cup). Scott McLaughlin, Executive Director of Spaceport America "Not only does it bring together the world's brightest and most talented engineering students, it showcases what the World has to offer, and It really falls into part of our mission at Spaceport America for STEM Outreach and Workforce Development." In 2019 the University of Sydney Rocketry Team won the then 10,000 ft Spaceport America Cup, while two years of Covid-19 killed the USA Live Competitions, the 2022 Team is now following in their footsteps. In 2022, after 2-years of reeling from the Global Pandemic, Spaceport America Cup is celebrating its 15 year anniversary, so they have increased the target from the 10,000 ft competition, and introduced 30,000 FT. COMPETITION TARGET OBJECTIVE Achieving as close to 30,000 FT without overshooting the target while carrying a Dynamic Payload designed by the Team to be handled mid-flight, the recording of all Video & Telemetry Data of the Flight and its Cargo/Payload, and finally returning ALL Stages of the Rocket safely back to Earth. Team USYD, during flight the rocket, developed a robot arm that engaged and retrieved a piece of "Space Junk" simulated by securing it as a pendulum (payload) inside Bluewren, to simulate live space conditions. With computer vision for tracking and monitored by the team's telemetry capabilities, both the booster rocket and the main rocket were safely parachuted back to Earth and retrieved. USYD were winners in the 30,000 Feet Category for Technical Recording and Handling of their Space Payload. 'Bluewren' also achieved a height of 29,933 FT on a Target of 30,000 FT. The Team is now awaiting confirmation of the Overall Winner, delayed due to late launches, weather conditions and Judges flight data confirmation Judges flight confirmation. Through several sleepless nights watching rockets launch and then viewing the Award Night live, it was one of the proudest moments of my life. From Sarah watching MacGyver over and over as a small girl, and always building things, like a working elevator at 7-years old, and every night tucking her in without fail it was the why and how is this made, in addition to her amazing puppet shows. Her heart is the only thing bigger than her intellect. As she has grown up Sarah is now following a dream that will open doors for her into the future of Space Exploration inside her lifetime. Only 13 were selected and travelled to the USA. The following is also to honour the entire 33 Member USYD Rocketry Team: Bhavesh Bobby Balaji - Payload Director Vismay Bhadra - Media Director Flynn Bryant - Recovery Lead Omrik Choudhury - Avionics Daniel Cook - Chief Engineer Alistair de Vroet - Project Director Jerome Fan - Engineer Mitchell Galletly - Ironbark Director William Giang - Engineer Darin Huang - Payload Engineer Mohamed Abbas Junejo - Engineer Thilanka Panthie Kankanangem - Engineer Andre Kotevski - Engineer Adnan Kureshi - Engineer Thomas Lando - Engineer Allison Lockley - Executive Director Han Ly - Engineer Said Mouhaiche - Engineer Vinit Nikam - Engineer Gorgia Odlin - Avionics Engineer Emily Sacks - Engineer Mathew Spiritosanto - Engineer Andy Scott - Engineer James Stokes - Aerostructure Lead James Taleb - Engineer Will Tedeschi - Engineer Vishnu Thangallu - Engineer Blair Tholen - Avionics Engineer Queenie Wang - Recovery Engineer Sarah Zwajgenberg - Recovery Engineer

Even if you don't attend University of Sydney, you should definitely check out the Quadrangle!…read more The gothic revival architecture is a visual marble worth admiring on its own merit. You might think you've been transported to a scene from Harry Potter. The view is impressive both from the outside and inside. The heritage sandstone buildings are worth the admiration. The place is so wonderful, you can simply enjoy a picnic here or spend hours taking pictures and admiring the architecture. The photo ops are endless if you are into that type of thing. Overall, if you are a fan of architecture or a fan of Harry Potter style buildings, you'll definitely enjoy this place.

This St. Andrew's College Dining Hall is a fantastic establishment that upholds utter quality (you…read moreshould try the ribs and Belgian waffles, they're divine). The kitchen staff, led by the esteemed Helen (of Troy) collectively ensure the maintenance of complete professionalism. Largely, the service of the waiters and waitresses is of a high standard. I would however like to mention one particular waiter (his name tag read Andrew Dossetor so i will assume for now that this is his name) who left me feeling bitterly disappointed by the end of what was for the most part a pleasant evening. He was poorly dressed, wore a terrible haircut, failed to understand the simplest of commands, seemed more attentive toward the females at my table and neglected the males, and, perhaps worst of all, spilt a significant amount of chocolate sauce on my dear friend's suit collar only to fail to apologise. It is a shame that one weak link can so swiftly tarnish the reputation of such a fine establishment. I have written a formal letter of complaint to the establishment and I expect that action shall be taken in response to his poor performance on Monday evening. Bon appetite William

This is the spanking new building of UTS. it houses the latest and largest data visualisation lab…read morein Australia. Imagine a room where you can manipulate data on thin air, mission impossible style, while the screen behind you is filled with data streams of ones and zeros like in the matrix. I love the design of the new lecture halls with electricity plugs everywhere and long collaboration desks for project work. The whole building is full of little atmosphere sensors which measure uv, noise, brightness, temperature, air pressure, etc. so that the smarts in the building can automatically adjust the air conditioner and shades for the optimal condition. The top floor houses a little roof garden with a time capsule sealed for thirty years. The latest technology of today like iPhones and opal card is stored in the time capsule for future generations.
