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 Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 [[high-powered rockets]]. These are launched with national rocketry clubs.
