Launch.
NU Rocketry is a student-led team designing, testing, and launching high-power rockets while giving students real aerospace, engineering, and technology experience.
About us
Student-led aerospace, built at UoN.
We bring together students from engineering, software, electrical, mechanical, aerospace, and technology backgrounds to work on real rocket systems from concept to launch.
Why it matters
The team gives students hands-on experience that is difficult to get in a classroom: real design constraints, real engineering failures, real testing, and real launches.
