Strathclyde University students need your help to get rocket back
The team flew out to take part in Spaceport America last month.
There is a call for people to help a group of Strathclyde University students get their homebuilt rocket back to Glasgow.
"Strathosphere" was launched at Spaceport America in New Mexico last month, but the team lost her because the GPS signal broke down.
Leon Yip is one of those who took part in the event and told Clyde 1: "If we get it back we can then recover all the flight data and learn lessons for our next rocket.
"It would also be a shame if we never saw it again after spending an entire year working on it.
"Our team did an amazing job of constructing a capable rocket while accounting for all the major things that could go wrong like it blowing up or crashing.
"The biggest thing we have learned is that anything can and will go wrong."
A fundraiser has been set up to pay for the shipping costs of getting the rocket back over to Scotland.
The team claims that there were a few minor problems and logistical issues they had not prepared for.
Leon added: "We ended up spending a good few hours in the desert searching in 35 degree heat, but thankfully everything else went well.
"These lessons can only be learned through the practical experience we have gained.
"We hope that returning the rocket will inspire the more students to join in on a project like ours in the future.
"This is definitely the most fulfilling thing I've done."
