Bruin Spacecraft Group at UCLA Details
Bruin Space has been founded with the intent of providing a creative and supportive environment for space mission design and development at UCLA. We strive to promote awareness and build enthusiasm for the aerospace industry through our space and spacecraft engineering related projects and events.Our teams comprise of students of all backgrounds, majors, and personalities: artists and physicists, business men and women, scientists and engineers. We are not just building the next generation of space pioneers--we are making an impact here and now at UCLA, a stone's throw away from the beating heart of the aerospace industry in El Segundo.Four independent projects currently run under Bruin Space:The Sandbox Initiative--a platform for students to assemble teams and take part in fast-paced open-competition opportunities.Project Overseer--a high altitude balloon platform for research and technical demonstrations.Project Reach--a small rocket payload designed for Rocket Project at UCLA's Intercollegiate Rocket Engineering Competition rocket.Project Rapid--an initiative to secure and execute future CubeSat programs at UCLA following the completion of the ELFIN CubeSat.Bruin Spacecraft Group is a student organization run under the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering department at UCLA's Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science. Originally founded in 2013 as a tool to allow the ELFIN CubeSat project--a research group by school definitions--to recruit at student group events, Bruin Space was radically restructured heading into the 2016-2017 academic year to fill the hole that will be left by ELFIN's completion and launch in 2017. While the original purpose of recruiting for ELFIN is still maintained by Bruin Spacecraft Group, and while many undergraduate and graduate students in the group are current or former members of the ELFIN project, the group has no official connection to the ELFIN project or the EPSS department.
