Project Title
Hybrid Rocket Construction
Design Challenge
By May, safely and efficiently research, design, construct, fly, and recover at least one rocket, ensuring that the process interests and educates every team member.

We strive to teach ourselves and each other how to research, design, and construct high powered rockets and space faring technology in the most safe, interesting, efficient, and exciting manner possible. We build our approach around the interests and skills of our members, not competitive goals or financial objects. In doing so, we have faith that we will ECLIPSE every obstacle and adversary in our pursuit of rocket science.
