Out of 183 submitted applications, 154 teams have been selected to compete in the 2024 Spaceport America Cup.

HeroX.com, as well as soundingrocket.org website and our social media sites will all celebrate this announcement.

Please share this good news on your social media sites!

For the teams who were not accepted, application are declined for one or more of the following reasons:

• Poor overall quality of the application, lacking detail, incorrect or missing data
• Team lacked sufficient experience to safely design, build and launch a rocket in that specific category
• Lacking a Tripoli L3 certified Flyer of Record
• Team did not follow rules and regulations or standards set forth in the DTEG

It is highly recommended that you seek other opportunities to compete and/or launch in your region. The number of international rocketry competitions has "skyrocketed" over the last few years.  Latin America, Australia, Canada, Europe, Turkey, Algeria and Mexico, are all fabulous opportunities to gain critical experience and expertise to enhance your application for the 2024 Spaceport America Cup.  In the US, teams should look to compete in the Argonia Cup, NASA Student Launch or any of the great events at the Friends of Amateur Rocketry (FAR) site in southern California.
For those teams who will be competing this year, ESRA is working hard to make this not only the largest, but the best Cup event ever held.  Over the next few weeks, there will be many updates and requests to student team leaders.  Please respond to these as quickly as possible to ensure your team is 100% prepared.

For international teams seeking a formal acceptance letters, please send a request to general.info@esrarocket.org

June is only a short 7 months away.  Get busy with your designing, building and testing!
