The mission
SOAR gives students the responsibility, tools, and mentorship to turn aerospace theory into flight-proven systems.
Not a model.
Not a case study.
A real rocket.
Our multidisciplinary crew owns the entire mission—from first principles and design reviews to machining, static fires, launch operations, and recovery.
Integrated subteams
One vehicle.
Eight subteams.
Every flight is a team effort. Our subteams work across interfaces, test assumptions, and make decisions with the mission in mind.
TEAM–02
Avionics Hardware & Software
Custom electronics, embedded software, telemetry, and live flight data from pad to recovery.
