The Rockets team is a student-led group striving to push the limits of high power rocketry. The team's long-term goal is a shot to the 100-km Karman Line which forms the common definition of space. Along the way, it competes every year in the [[Intercollegiate Rocketry Engineering Competition]] and runs Project Daedalus, a suite of experimental projects developing technology required to reach space. This year's [[Project Daedalus]] is a suite of three rockets: [[Charybdis]] is testing out passive ascent stabilization with canted fins, [[Argus]] is designing a rocket with RF-activated interior camera systems, and [[Icarus]] is creating a reefed parachute that can vary its size during descent.

Along the way, it competes every year in the [[Intercollegiate Rocketry Engineering Competition]], the [[FAR 1030 Competition]], and runs Project Jupiter, a suite of experimental projects developing technology required to reach space.
In order to help our team members learn the fundamentals of rocketry, 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.
