Rocketry at Virginia Tech

Rocketry at Virginia Tech

About

Rocketry at Virginia Tech is a competition engineering design team affiliated with the Virginia Tech Department of Aerospace and Ocean Engineering. The aim of the club is to create an environment for students to learn and work together building, launching, and experimenting with high power rockets. The club also serves to aid those who wish to pursue high power certification by connecting students with the local rocketry club, New River Valley Rocketry (NRVR), and chapters of both Tripoli Rocketry Association (TRA) and the National Association of Rocketry (NAR).

Each year we participate in the Intercollegiate Rocket Engineering Competition (IREC) hosted by ESRA out in Texas. We compete in the Commercial off the shelf (COTS) category and manufacture a high power rocket with a scientific payload. The competition goal is to launch our rocket to 10,000 feet as accurately as possible.

We do not accept membership through Gobblerconnect, please check out our website for more information about our recruitment process.
