New Sponsor!!
GoPro has recently signed up to sponsor the event. GoPro will be offering cameras to fly on your rockets. You can swap out existing GoPros for newer models that you don't have to buy. This will make unfortunate events a little easier to swallow. Additionally, GoPro would like to mount cameras on the outside of some rockets, so if you are looking for some airbrakes to lower your altitude, then feel free to reach out.
Videos should include the following to score maximum points from the Video Challenge judging committee:

PRIZES SUPPLIED BY GoPro & ESRA:
SUBMISSION:
**ESRA, Spaceport America, and GoPro will have non-exclusive rights to all videos submitted**
This means you can still use and share them and you will still own them, but we can use them on any media platforms in present and future, and those mediums that do not yet exist. We can also share with our sponsors allowing them to share on their media platforms. We will not sell for profit, but the organizations and sponsors using the footage will benefit in the from of advertising their companies and organizations.
Additionally, video footage from GoPro cameras will be accessible to teams, but you may not be allowed to use the footage until later this year. All students will be required to fill out a form which has more non-disclosure information from GoPro. See HeroX for more information.

ESRA Live Stream
ESRA will again be live streaming the 2023 IREC. Teams will be required to submit a video before the event in two parts. A full version and a shorter vison, only including introductions for the college, team name, and team leads. As these videos are required before the competition, they do not count as a submission to the video challenge. However, being the efficient future engineer that you are, students are highly encouraged to use the same video and splice in the launch footage and some event footage into the existing video, then submit as the video Challenge.
See HeroX for more details on required videos. Below is a video giving some great tips on what we are looking for. Keep in mind the full video should be NO MORE than 5 mins. Ideally videos should be closer to 2.5 mins in length.
