The Rockets team is a student-led group striving to push the limits of high power rocketry. The team is working on creating and testing essential and novel systems for an eventual large-scale project. The previous project, Lightning, proved to be a much larger task than the team had the ability to complete in a timely manner. The team is now working on designs for [[Project Daedalus]], a suite of four rockets designed to test novel rocketry technologies. [[Talos]] is a launch vehicle for [[Kythera]], [[Charybdis]] is testing out passive ascent stabilization with canted fins, [[Prometheus]] is demonstrating active roll control of a payload on descent, and [[Pegasus]] is testing a parafoil recovery system.

To accomplish each of the components of Daedalus, the Rockets team builds and launches [[L1 Certification|Level 1]], Level 2, and Level 3 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-power_rocketry high-power rockets]. These are launched with national rocketry clubs.
