Our Subteams

PARSEC is split into six different subteams focused on different aspects of running a successful team. The subteams allow easier communication between different projects and facilitates a culture and an environment of ownership.

TVC

The TVC (Thrust Vector Control) team is responsible for developing dynamic testing rigs and flight-ready TVC systems. Their projects include the test stand TVC, upgrading potentiometer feedback mechanisms, and ensuring precise control systems are ready for flight conditions.

Icarus Design

Icarus Design focuses on preliminary structural design, including the airframe and critical landing systems. They lead efforts in developing innovative solutions like the landing legs to ensure rocket stability and recovery after launch.

Test Stand

The Test Stand team builds and maintains the critical infrastructure needed to safely test rocket components. Their systems include Monolith, Megalith, the ignitor test stand, remote disconnect systems, and cap level sensors for fluid monitoring.

Prop

The Propulsion team, or Prop, designs and fabricates the ignitors, injectors, and engines that provide thrust for our rockets. Their work focuses on maximizing performance, reliability, and manufacturability of propulsion hardware.

GNC

The GNC (Guidance, Navigation, and Control) team develops advanced simulations and software to steer and stabilize the rocket during flight. They also lead projects like Daedalus, a critical system supporting autonomous flight control.

Systems

The Systems team focuses on electronic integration, including PCB design, avionics, GUI development, and CAN BUS communication protocols. They build the nervous system of the rocket, connecting hardware and software into a unified, operational platform.
