As part of our course we built model rockets. Nothing snazzy, but it complimented our rocket science module, and got combined with a visit to the European Space Rocket Range, which is part of ESAs facilities and run by the Swedish Space Cooperation. Its quite a quiet place during the holiday, but is quite a deserted place specifically because they launch the MAXUS rocket from here, which can reach altitudes of 700km, that's WAY above the ISS. So we got to use their Balloon launch pad to launch some of our rockets, it was good fun, lots of noise and even some lost rockets!
