| Summary: | In the spring of 2009 a team of 15 TU Delft students travelled to Kiruna, Sweden with only one goal: to launch the rocket Stratos I they had been working on for 2 years to an altitude of over 12km, thereby claiming the European Amateur Rocket Altitude record. These students were part of Delft Aerospace Rocket Engineering (DARE), a Dream Team of the TU Delft involved in research, development, manufacturing and launching of rockets. However, this record-breaking launch was not a single project; it was the first part of a larger endeavour of which the primary goal was to become the first student team in the world to reach space with a student-built rocket.
