The project was founded in the summer of 2006, with the specific goal of launching a rocket into space for less than GBP£1000.
As of November, 2007, CU Spaceflight has launched five unmanned high altitude balloons, of which two were not successful: Nova 2 was blown into the North Sea and Nova 5 failed to ignite the Martlet 1 solid rocket motor, but landed in a reusable state.
CU Spaceflight is a participant of the UK High Altitude Society.
