Brickworks

Brickworks is a group of engineers who are passionate about aerospace. The group formed in November 2018 as an outlet for alumni members of the student-faculty research group RIT Space Exploration (SPEX) to continue doing space-related engineering projects.

Brickworks’s mission is to do novel things with accesible hardware, share the knowledge gained along the way, and set an example of excellence for similar hobby projects.

Nucleus

Nucleus is a high altitude balloon technology demonstration mission. The key objectives of this mission are to develop a robust avionics architecture, experiment with core technologies which enable long duration flights, broadcast telemetry to a remote ground terminal, and optionally collect high quality images from high altitudes. As a technology demonstrator, Nucleus flight systems are designed with the intent to be improved or expanded upon in future missions.

HAB-toolbox

The HAB Toolbox is a collection of development tools, models, and experiments used to support our efforts to design, build, and test high altitude balloons.
