The Rockets team is a student-led group striving to push the limits of high power rocketry. The team is currently working Project Daedalus, creating and testing novel systems for an eventual larger-scale rocket project. Project Daedalus. [[Project Daedalus]] is a suite of four rockets: [[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]], [[L2 Certification|Level 2]], and Level 3 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-power_rocketry high-power rockets]. These are launched with national rocketry clubs.
The Rockets team Faculty Advisor is [[Dr. Hai Wang]]. The current team leads are Christopher May and Ian Gomez.
