Rocket Team
At the intercollegiate 2019 Spaceport America Cup, our Rocket team engineered and launched an 11 ft. tall, 6 inch diameter rocket. This Rocket was powered by a Cesaroni N class motor, and achieved an above-ground altitude of 13,000 feet.
In the 2022-23 year we’re building a second rocket with an M-Class motor and shooting for 10,000 feet again!
