Progress

Hybrid Propulsion

Our propulsion team is currently working on a hybrid motor using a polymer called HTPB as a solid fuel along with a liquid oxidizer known as Nitrous Oxide. The team is currently performing research and design to hone in key performance parameters such as thrust, ISP, etc. 

Airframe

The vehicle that will house the rocket's motor, electronics, and payload is under design. Some of the most important parameters to ensure a safe flight are being investigated currently.

Electronics

Current developments involve an electronics system that can take data quickly to ensure an accurate recording of the apogee in flight.

ABOUT

We're a team of undergraduate Mechanical Engineering students who attend the University of Colorado at Denver. What we're working on is not something attempted before in the Mechanical Engineering department. Our focus is to build a hybrid propulsion system for a rocket that we will use to compete in the 2019 Spaceport America Cup in New Mexico. We started the team back in March of 2018 and interest in our project has grown since then. Our hope is to make this a legacy project and pass the torch for years to come. Our team has put in a consist amount of hours each week and strives to make the best of this opportunity despite not have an aerospace background.
