Become a Rocket Scientist.
Launching a legacy of passion and curiosity that propels students to the boundaries of air and space. Creating a community of leaders and innovators prepared for the challenges of the world ahead.
Want to Get Involved?
Our team is always looking for talented individuals looking to build their design skills.
Where Do You Fit In?
The start of our design and manufacturing cycle begins in the fall. New members will join the sub-group(s) of their choice to work on the development for our solid or liquid rockets over the course of the year. The sub-groups that our team consists of are:
- Aerodynamics & Recovery
- Electronics
- Engine
- Payload
- Propellant Feed
- Propulsion
- Structures
Our team is bonded together by a passion for rocketry and space as a whole, we welcome all majors!
What Will You Gain?
As a member of The Rocket Design Team, you will gain hands on experience doing real projects applicable to many different fields in industry, including but not limited to:
- Aerodynamics
- CAD software
- Composites
- Electronics
- Liquid Engine
- Machining and Manufacturing
- Simulations
- Solid Motors
- Telemetry
- Payloads & Experimentation
- Public Relations/Social Media
- R&D
What Sets Us Apart?
Our team is unique in that we have four projects under our umbrella: Both a solid and liquid fueled rocket with long term goals to launch each to space, launches for a commercial contractor who wants payloads to be tested under specific conditions given by a rocket launch, and our teams Argonia Cup Competition Rocket that is entirely designed and built by new members.
Our New Member Program is comprised of the Level 1 Program, and The Argonia Cup Competition, which is mentored by our Team Educators. This culminates in a group trip to a launch site, to launch The Argonia Cup rocket in Argonia, Kansas. This is a large team bonding activity to get new members some experience with rocket design and launch fundamentals. While we assist with the technical development for all our members, we take pride in being a supportive, community-driven team
