Ascend would like to thank 3Dconnexion for their support and collaboration.

As a valued partner, their contributions have played an important role in our work, helping us improve our design process and develop our drone systems more efficiently.

They provide our members with discounts on their many great products, which we in the organization have had valuable use for the last year. Especially the SpaceMouse Enterprise, which has come to great use when designing this year's drones.

We truly appreciate the partnership and everything they contribute to our team.

After a very exciting and important visit, we in Ascend would like to give a thank you to one of our partners, Six Robotics.

Last week, we had the pleasure of visiting their offices, where we got the opportunity to present who we are, how we are structured, and the work we are doing towards IARC Mission 10. This included a technical presentation of our drone systems, followed by engaging discussions and insightful technical questions from their team.

The visit also gave us a closer look into Six Robotics’ work and organization, as well as a tour of their facilities. It was inspiring to learn more about the different teams and how they operate within robotics and autonomous systems.

We truly value our collaboration with Six Robotics, which has now grown over the past couple of years. Partnerships like this are essential for our development, both technically and professionally, and we greatly appreciate their continued support and engagement.

Thank you for a great visit, interesting discussions, and for taking the time to connect with us. We look forward to continuing our partnership and everything ahead.

The Ascend Team 26 would like to give a thank you to one of our partners, Te og kaffehuset!

Te & Kaffehuset keeps us fueled with great coffee throughout the semester and occasionally invites us to learn more about the world of tea and coffee through their engaging courses. Recently, several of our members attended a tea course they hosted, where we learned about different tea varieties, brewing techniques, and the fascinating origins behind the flavors we enjoy every day.

We truly appreciate their generosity, enthusiasm, and the energy they bring to our office. Coffee breaks and tea sessions have become even more enjoyable thanks to them!

Thank you, Te & Kaffehuset, for your continued support, and we look forward to many more good brews and great moments together! 🧡☕️

Today we want to give a huge thank you to all the amazing women who are part of the Ascend community — past, present, and future. Your curiosity, dedication, and support for one another help shape the culture that makes Ascend such a special place. ✨

Last week, we also had the pleasure of hosting AscendHER, an evening dedicated to connecting, celebrating, and inspiring more women to join our community. The night included a rebus race, a quiz, pizza, and inspiring presentations from both current and former Ascend members. 🚀🍕

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the evening such a great experience. We’re proud to keep building a community where women can connect, learn, and grow together.

Thank you to UBIQ Aerospace for an inspiring company presentation and a great evening together with Revolve NTNU and Propulse NTNU.

UBIQ Aerospace develops next-generation ice detection and protection technology for all aircraft, enabling safer and more reliable operations in challenging weather conditions. During the presentation, we gained valuable insight into both the technology and the company, and had the opportunity to hear from employees in different roles about their work and experiences at UBIQ.

The evening was rounded off with pizza and mingling, creating opportunities for our members to make connections.

We truly appreciate the time, openness, and engagement from UBIQ Aerospace, and we are grateful for the collaboration. Thank you for a great evening, and we look forward to continuing our partnership. 🚀 🧡

Our annual work-week was held last week, and our groups have been working on some exciting things.

Monday to Friday, our team has been working hard from morning to evening, and on the weekend we packed up our office in Holtermanns veg, and moved to Valgrinda to join our fellow TOs.


During the past week we have done everything from testing a RTK GPS, built a test-drone and worked on our soldering skills.


There's still a lot to do, but after a good work week like this one, we will be able to reach our goals in the end.

We will continue to update on our progresses, and share our milestones with you! 🚀 🧡
