Spaceport America Cup

The Spaceport America Cup (SAC) is an international collegiate competition in which teams research, design, construct, and launch large scale high power rockets.  In 2017 we took second place in the 30,000 foot category.  The rocket that we used to compete reached a velocity of nearly mach two, and reached the the altitude target in roughly ten seconds!  This was done with a solid rocket motor, meaning that the motor was comprised of both solid fuel and solid oxidizer.  

Work on this competition is done in the Wildcat Rocketry Engineering Club (WREC), which works closely with us. Ask about them at any of our meetings, and we can give you more information!
