WURocketry

WURocketry is a student group at Washington University in St. Louis with 60+ members. Our team competes in the NASA Student Launch Competition, which hosts 60 teams from across the country. The competition includes design, test, build, and launch of an 8-10 foot reusable rocket approximately 1 mile into the air. Teams travel to Huntsville, Alabama for the competition in the spring semester of each year. Additionally, the team designs and flies a payload based on requirements released by NASA each year. The competition also requires a multitude of test launches, proper technical documentation, and a K-12 STEM outreach component.
