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 team is 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.
