Borneo SubOrbitals

In 2022, the project was replaced by SPACE educational programme in collaboration with MEASAT Satellite Systems which allows students to launch rockets in virtual reality.

UTP will be handling simulations and electronics design, while UM will be handling static and dynamic structural analysis and rocket material selection and UNIMAS will manufacture and assemble the rocket, with the supervision and consultancy of Strand Aerospace Malaysia.

[6] The project aimed to launch a hybrid-fueled suborbital rocket from Kuching to reach an altitude of 55 km by the year 2022.

The rocket will be equipped with sensors and telemetry to collect atmospheric and ocean data for researchers working at MOSTI.
