The Aerospace Systems Research Group (ASReG) is located within the University of KwaZulu-Natal's Discipline of Mechanical Engineering. ASReG was formed in 2009 by Jean Pitot and Michael Brooks. We are a small but focused group with graduate students currently enrolled in the Masters and Doctoral research programmes. We conduct applied research in rocket propulsion and associated technologies such as thermal management and launch systems.ASReG has two aims:To develop aerospace technologies related to rockets and space vehicles.To develop human skills in aerospace engineering.ASReG focuses on the design, manufacture and testing of rocket propulsion systems, and has a limited number of places available annually in its postgraduate programme. Because our MScEng degree is a research-based Masters qualification, the number of places depends on specific programme needs, our supervision capacity and the availability of project funding. The degree takes approximately two years of full-time, on-campus work. The PhD is also a research based programme. Our work involves designing and operating technically complex engineering systems that employ high-pressure, high-temperature and chemically energetic processes.
