Rose Rocketry
Welcome to Rose Rocketry
ℹ️ What is Rose Rocketry?
We are Rose Rocketry! We provide an opportunity for students to learn more about aerospace and build really cool things while getting incredible relevant industry experience. Started just 3 years ago, we’ve grown from group of 6 students working on small rocket kits to a team of students, spanning all majors and grades, working on everything from NASA competitions and custom flight computers to cube satellites and liquid rocket engines!

📕 Rocketry Associated Organizations
The Rose Rocketry Club enables students by supporting various associated organizations who all seek to complete meaningful and engaging, student-led projects. These associated organizations have autonomy over their projects and students are encouraged to start their own projects. Rose Rocketry supports these organizations by advocating for the advancement of aerospace on campus and sharing it’s resources with all associated organizations. This resources include tools, workspace, money, networking connections, expertise, and more. See what each of Rocketry’s organizations has to offer below. And, if you have an interest not fulfilled by an existing organization, come talk to the Rocketry leadership about starting your own organization!
Note: many of the rocketry organizations have their own communication channels and facilitate their own projects, goals, and timelines. See the sections below to find out how to stay in touch with the groups you are interested in!
Hobby Rocketry
Hobby Rocketry with Rose Rocketry provides students with the ability to do all things rocketry. We provide students with the necessary tools and funding to get Level 1 and 2 high power rocketry certified. Students are also able to submit research proposals to gain funding for different projects. Some of these projects in the past include a rocket capable of >Mach 2 flight and a two-stage rocket.

NASA USLI
Do you want to work for NASA? Rose Rocketry's University Student Launch team competes every year to build and launch high-power rockets to deliver a scientific payload between 4000-6000ft above the ground. This year, the payload will be a lander which will safely transport miniature astronauts to the ground without a parachute! As a bonus, all members get real experience in the aerospace industry by filling out NASA contracting-style documentation and presenting our projects to a board of NASA engineers. All majors are welcome and needed to successfully design and build our rockets as well as to build and program our custom electronics.

Rose Propulsion Laboratory
Rose Propulsion Lab is making rocket engines! RPL builds liquid rocket engines from the ground up for research and competition. This Fall we are entering the Collegiate Propulsive Lander Challenge which will have us build an entire vehicle capable of taking off and landing like a SpaceX booster! The Challenge starts this fall so it's the perfect time to join this one year old group at the ground level. Everyone is welcome and we'll genuinely need every major to help us succeed. We have a number of onboarding projects specifically designed for freshmen and we're so excited to get started! To stay in the loop, join our discord https://discord.gg/untaU9Z67H
SmallSat
The Rose Small Satellite Group wants to send your work to space! Our group aims to build a miniature cube-shaped satellite and send it into orbit within 4 years, submitting a proposal to NASA's CSLI program next Fall. Get in on the ground level of this 1 year old group and gain experience developing a fully functional, flight ready satellite and Rose's very own satellite communications ground station!

Feed Back
Rose Rocketry is a very fast moving and ever changing organization. Please don’t hesitate to provide feedback on how a meeting went, a project you want to work on, changes to on-boarding, etc. If you’re not sure who to reach out to or wish to be discrete, contact @Osornio, Cesar and he’s happy to help!
Just three years ago the club didn’t even exist, let alone have space, tools, or multiple projects going on. Every new wave of students has new ideas, goals, and ambitions. At the end of each year, rocketry will take a step back and ask our members what the want to accomplish the next school year. We’ve talked about changing from the NASA competition, sending a rocket to space, weather balloons, custom flight software, making our own fiberglass tubes, and more! Let us know what you want to accomplish!
