NASA USLI 2022 Competition
Named after Rose-Hulman alumnus Abraham "Abe" Silverstein, Project Silverstein was Rose Rocketry's first competition season. The project: launch, locate, and safely recover a rocket upon landing in a gridded field without the use of GPS. Although the team didn't get to compete in Huntsville, we learned many valuable lessons when it came to building a 13-foot tall rocket!
Rose Propulsion Laboratory
Initiated for the purpose of competing in future Spaceport America Cup competitions in the liquids and hybrids divisions, Rose Propulsion Laboratory (RPL) actually started off as a senior design project in 2023, by building a liquid bi-propellant rocket engine and a test stand! RPL aims to provide unique opportunities for Rose-Hulman students by enabling student-led projects in aerospace propulsion technologies.
RHIT SmallSat
The goal of RHIT SmallSat is to establish an in-space-research division alongside Rose Rocketry and to compete in future CubeSat competitions and conferences!
