The Princeton Rocketry Club does more than launch rockets. We design, build, and fly a large variety of aerospace projects. We welcome people from all fields of study, with or without engineering experience.

This year we have 4 main projects:

The High-Power Rocketry team is building and launching high-power rockets to earn Level 1 certification with the National Association of Rocketry. These rockets will also carry a custom electronics payload that will collect flight data in real time.

The Micro-g NExT team is designing and building a mini-arm end-effector to handle ice samples underwater on missions to moons like Europa. The team is using soft robotics and if selected will test their design in the Neutral Buoyancy Lab at Johnson Space Center.

The IREC team is designing and building a rocket with a custom flight computer to be launched to 10,000 feet.

The SpaceShot team is designing, building, and launching a two-stage rocket above the 100 km altitude boundary of outer space.
