Our team won 1st Place Overall at the NASA Student Launch Competition this year!

We also took home:
🏆 1st Place – AIAA Reusable Launch Vehicle Innovative Payload Award
🥈 2nd Place – AIAA Reusable Launch Vehicle Award

We’re a team of 8 general engineering students who spent the past year designing, building, and launching a fully reusable rocket and payload system.

So proud of what we accomplished and beyond grateful to have done it with this team🚀🚀

Happy graduation weekend to all who celebrate!
Huge thank you to all of our family, friends, and supporters who’ve been with us through this journey. It’s been a long time coming- late nights, long meetings, test days, launch days, and everything in between. As we wrap up our last pieces of documentation, it honestly feels too soon.

We’ve grown so much, and it’s wild to think how far we’ve come. Every single person on this team has a bright future ahead, and we can’t wait to see where everyone goes next. Thanks for being part of the ride. And good luck to the upcoming JMU Rocketry team, we can’t wait to see all of your success! 🎉🥳🎓🚀🕶️
