The Ryerson Rocketry Club (RRC) is a team of students who all share a common passion for wanting to build and launch high-powered rockets. We aim to teach new students the basics of rocketry as well as exposing them to many advanced manufacturing and design techniques, as well as working with electronics as part of our avionics, payload, and recovery systems.
We compete each year at the Spaceport America Cup, formerly known as Intercollegiate Rocket Engineering Competition (IREC) to deliver a payload to 30,000 feet in our custom-designed, supersonic rocket. This past year, we achieved Second Place in the 30,000 ft commercial solid rocket motor category. We are the ONLY design team at Ryerson to break the sound barrier!
