USC Hyperloop is the University of Southern California's SpaceX Hyperloop Pod Competition team and official Hyperloop design-build program.
USC Hyperloop's mission objective is to design and build a half scale Hyperloop Pod, win the SpaceX Hyperloop Pod Competition, and accelerate the advent of the Hyperloop transportation system in California, the United States, and the rest of the world. As of today, a team of over 30 engineers has made significant progress conducting preliminary research on Hyperloop technologies and establishing a

Congratulations to USC Rocket Propulsion Laboratory on their record breaking launch!
Higher Education: USC's Student-Built Rocket Soars to Record Altitude Students at the University of Southern California (USC) Rocket Propulsion Laboratory shattered an altitude record after their Fathom II spacecraft soared to an amazing height of 144,000 feet (44,000 meters).
The last 3 weeks has been quite the sprint and we've accomplished more than we ever thought we could! Cheers to this whole team for putting in a senseless amount of hours to get this pod built! Here is a video of our first successful static test.
Stay tuned to see us live on the official SpaceX live feed! http://www.spacex.com/hyperloop
