In a momentous occasion for Romania, the 2Space team, comprising 30 gifted students from the Polytechnic University of Bucharest, represented our country at the most significant international rocket competition, the Spaceport America Cup, held in the USA. This marks the inaugural participation of a Romanian team in such a large-scale event, signifying a pivotal advancement for the country's innovation and technological advancement.
The members of the 2Space team have joined the "100 Youngsters for Romania's Development" campaign, which is organised at the national level by the Dan Voiculescu Foundation for Romania's Development. The objective of this campaign is to support young talents and to promote excellence in various fields, including science and technology.
2Space is also the inaugural team of students in Southeast Europe to design, construct, and launch a rocket to an altitude of nearly 9,000 meters. Their remarkable accomplishment exemplified the aerospace capabilities and ingenuity of young Romanians.
The rocket constructed by the 2Space team for the competition in America is a notable achievement, exceeding 3 meters in length and capable of reaching an altitude of up to 10,000 meters at supersonic speed. At the Spaceport America Cup, the Romanian team participated alongside 126 other teams from 24 countries, thereby placing Romania on the global map of aerospace innovation.
The 2Space project is notable for its advanced status, with the team having developed a fully Romanian supersonic rocket. This has been successfully tested, demonstrating its remarkable performance. Participation in international competitions has brought recognition and opened new opportunities for young engineers.
Following a period of activity in the United States, the 2Space team has returned to the company with a renewed sense of purpose and a commitment to further innovation in the field of aerospace engineering. Their current plans include the design and construction of new rockets, with the objective of advancing human exploration of space. The team is engaged in the integration of advanced technologies and the enhancement of rocket performance, reflecting their dedication to excellence and progress.
The story behind the 2Space team exemplifies the capacity of young Romanians to achieve remarkable feats through perseverance and dedication. Their participation in the Spaceport America Cup has not only brought pride to the country but also paved the way for future generations of Romanian engineers and researchers. This story serves as a testament to the immense potential Romania possesses in the field of technology and innovation.
The "100 Youngsters for Romania's Development" campaign was initiated with the intention of fostering national unity and identity. Its objective is to highlight the accomplishments of Romania's most distinguished children and young people, who have achieved renown on a national and international scale through their passion, dedication, and talent.
The 100 young people who have brought great credit to Romania and who have distinguished themselves through their exemplary performances will be included in the inaugural catalogue of Romanian excellence, which will be launched by the Dan Voiculescu Foundation for the Development of Romania at the end of this year.
