ABOUT
WHO WE ARE
Karman Space Programme was founded in 2021 with an ambitious goal of reaching space sustainably. We are on a mission to become the first student group in the world to reach the Karman Line with a reusable rocket. In addition to reusable launch vehicles, the programme now also develops new technologies such as AI automation software, 3D-printed rocket engines, and much more!

OUR PROPELLANTS.
Smart, Kind, Driven
The propellants powering the programme is the team. Members come from a variety of backgrounds, including but not limited to Aeronautics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Material Science and more!
Our three principles are being kind, smart, and driven. We look for these three attributes in every applicant.
OUR SUPPORTERS.
“The challenge of offering greater access to space, at reduced cost and with minimal environmental impact places space sustainability at the top of the agenda. I’m delighted to see ICL taking up that challenge and wish them every success.”
- Tim Peake, first British astronaut to walk in space.
"With a reusable design, the Karman Space Programme students are stretching rocket technology to deliver positive benefits to our lives with minimal negative impact on the Earth, making this a really worthwhile student project."
- Helen Sharman, first British person, first Western European woman and first privately funded woman in space.
“To see the next generation of space innovators already pushing the boundaries of UK space technology is remarkable and I wish the Karman Space Programme success after their hard work. As demonstrated globally, the adoption of reusable rocket technology is pivotal in significantly lowering space launch costs and propelling the UK towards a leading role in the space arena.”
- Minister for Space at the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, George Freeman.
