We are a passionate, student-led engineering design team at Western University in London, Ontario, founded in 2016. Our mission is to innovate, design, and launch high-powered rockets for the Intercollegiate Rocket Engineering Competition (IREC) at the Spaceport America Cup, the world's largest intercollegiate rocketry competition.
- Aerostructure: Focuses on the rocket's body and structural components.
- Propulsion: Develops the engines and propulsion systems.
- Avionics: Designs the electronic systems for flight control and data collection.
- Recovery: Ensures the safe return of our rockets with parachutes and other systems.
- Payload: Handles the scientific experiments and cargo our rockets carry.
As of our 2022-2024 season we have...
- Successfully launched our rockets at Spaceport America Cup.
- Ranked 41st out of 93 teams in our first appearance at the competition.
- Developed innovative rockets with homemade carbon fiber bodies and advanced avionics.
