Spaceport America Cup 2020 Application Deadline Extended

Hello Rocketeers!

The Experimental Sounding Rocket Association (ESRA) is hard at work getting ready for the 2020 Spaceport America Cup.  We have some important updates for you to be aware of outlined below:

1. The application deadline has been extended!  The application window will open on October 4th and remain open until October 18th.  Applications will not be accepted prior to October 4th because we are transitioning to the HeroX online platform.  Teams who already uploaded their application to Dropbox will need to reapply.
   
2. We are transitioning to the HeroX online platform!  All team applications, progress updates, and project technical reports/presentations/posters will now be managed online.  This means no more spreadsheets to upload to Dropbox and reduces the challenge of managing so much data from so many teams.  The transition to the HeroX site is in work and a link is not yet available. The ESRA team is working feverishly behind the scenes to prepare the online application forms. The application process will begin on October 4th.  At that time, we will provide the link to begin registration.  
   
3. We will be publishing updates to the IREC Rules and Requirements, IREC Design Test and Evaluation Guide, and Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) documents on or before October 4th.  All teams MUST review these documents in order to prepare for the competition properly.
   

ESRA and Spaceport America are very excited for these changes.  We also recognize that change can take some getting used to.  We ask for your patience during this transition.  We'll work closely with you and the HeroX to resolve any technical issues.
