We are the premier rocketry club at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Our members consist of students with majors ranging from Aerospace Engineering to Computer Science who are passionate about rocketry. Our club was founded in the spring of 2011 to compete in the 2012 NASA University Student Launch Initiative Competition. The challenge was to develop a high-powered rocket that would reach as close as possible to an altitude of one mile while carrying a scientific payload. We’ve come a long way since then. In June 2024, we sent a team to Spaceport America to compete in the 30k ft target altitude flying on a solid-fuel rocket motor we developed in-house. Our team placed second overall. We’ve now set our sights on higher goals—a spaceshot. By the end of 2025, we plan to be the first university team to fly a two-stage sounding rocket past the Karman line, the internationally recognized boundary of space. We also continue to pursue competitions as we prepare to compete in the Argonia Cup in March and Battle of the Rockets in April 2025.
