The pioneers of liquid rocket engine design at Texas A&M University
The pioneers of liquid rocket engine design at Texas A&M University
We're a multidisciplinary group of students spanning every class year and degree — mechanical, aerospace, electrical, computer, alongside material scientists and beyond. From first-year undergrads to Master's students, we come together around a shared goal: designing, building, and firing our own liquid propellant rocket engines. What unites us isn't a major or a GPA, but our drive to get hands on experience with real hardware and learn through trial and testing.
What We Do
What We Do
Design, Build, FIRE!
Design, Build, FIRE!
We take our engines from a blank page to a live hot fire. We research and design every part from the ground up, then build it all by hand — the test stand, propellant feed and fluids system, PCBs, and control software. Once it's assembled, we test each subsystem, cold-flow the engine, and validate the full stack before the moment that matters most: the hot fire.
