HYPOWER BRISTOL
HyPower Bristol is a high-power rocketry team at the University of Bristol. Founded as a union of our university’s rocketry skills and experience, we are working within BristolSEDS. We pride ourselves on having a tight-knit team of interdisciplinary students, ranging from first-year undergraduates to PhD students. Brought together during 2020, we have since enjoyed many launches, and continue to learn and grow.
We are an innovative, resourceful, and highly ambitious team of engineers and scientists dedicated to space exploration. Join us in our mission to make space exploration accessible, diverse, and sustainable!
Meet the team leads – the curious students who lead, support and inspire our teams to push new boundaries everyday!

Insight into UK Uni-Rocketry
The UK rocketry scene is a hive of activity, we want to
encourage both industry growth and academic research by
providing a link between the two.
We are incredibly proud of achieving our 2024 goal of designing and building a liquid bipropellant rocket. This team effort has equipped us with a 5kN engine, propellant tanks, control systems and a full launch vehicle. The team is now setting the challenge of making a strong EuRoC’25 entry, further developing our launch vehicle manufacturing and pushing the boundaries of our propulsion development.
Our Sponsors generously provide us with funding and in-kind partnership enabling us to get access to some of the greatest machinery and tools available to manufacture and test our systems.
