RED (Rocket Experiment Division) is a project within AeroTéc (the aerospace engineering students association of Instituto Superior Técnico), in Lisbon, Portugal, whose main objective is to design, build and launch rockets. We participate yearly at EuRoC (European Rocketry Challenge), the largest European university rocketry competition. In the last 2 years, we've achieved the title of vice champions!

🌌 Our History:
RED was founded in 2017 and we have had striking technical evolution in the last 6 years.
- Our very first rocket was called Pilot.
- We then built 3 editions of Aurora.
- In 2021, these were followed by Blimunda: the 1st ever Portuguese rocket to be in an international competition, marking our debut in EuRoC.
- In 2022, the Baltasar rocket was endowed with the Flight Award, following a brilliant 3006m apogee.
- This year, Camões was rewarded with the Payload Award!
Stay tuned for the years to come! Ad Astra 🚀
