Our Goals
Through determination and passion, we will succeed!
To land a rocket.
We are developing rocket propelled self landing vehicle that can take off vertically, fly to 50m and land autonomously in a controlled manner in accordance with the Definity Collegiate Lander Challenge.
To learn as much as possible.
We strive to learn all we can about rocketry, preparing for careers that could take us literally out of this world. We require no prior knowledge to join -- just bring passion!
To research new technologies.
To build and land a bi-propellant liquid rocket, we must push the boundaries of the literature, relying on advice from academia and industry. We seek to contribute with our own publications, allowing our work to in turn aid the next generation of rocket scientists.
To have fun.
There's nothing quite like listening to music and hanging out with friends while you launch a 600 lb lander 50 m into the sky. Need we say more?
