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]], the [[FAR 1030 Competition]], and runs [[Project Jupiter]], a suite of experimental projects developing technology required to reach space.
