UKRA regrets to announce the resignation of Charles Simpson from the UKRA Council. Charles is resigning to pursue other interests, including his own rocketry.

Charles has been an enormous contributor to rocketry for decades and has worked tirelessly behind the scenes to improve the hobby for all members of the community, especially with regard to how rocketry is viewed by government and the authorities.

After a recent visit to the Midland Sky event hosted by Midland Rocket Club, the staff at Hackspace decided to run a feature on rocketry.
In this issue you can find articles about building rockets, using rocket simulation software and interviews with interesting rocketry folks.
