On Oct. 5, we test-fired Crucible, a CU student-built R-class motor with a carbon-fiber casing for Sunbeam’s spaceshot mission.

Despite a nozzle anomaly, the test validated key design elements, and everyone is safe. Thanks to our sponsors & alumni!

We’re getting ready to fire Crucible, our composite R motor and the largest motor in SRL history, in the coming weeks. We’re also building Sunbeam, our spaceshot vehicle.

Happy Earth Day from 89,825 ft up. 🌍🚀

Mamba III flew Mach 3.36, captured this view, and came back home. Successfully launched & recovered from Friends of Amateur Rocketry (FAR), CA.

No better day to appreciate the planet we launch from.

8 Rockets. 8 Successes. 🚀

8 members traveled to Pueblo, CO to fly their certification rockets. Every single one was successfully launched and recovered. Huge milestone for our new aerospace engineers.

Upgrading the brain of our test stand at SRL. High-fidelity data is the backbone of every successful test and mission

Huge thanks to the team at LEAP @spaceinreach for hosting our members in their open house! 🚀

Great to see the work being done and catch up with SRL alumni. We’re especially excited to have multiple members heading to LEAP for internships this summer! Thanks for the inspiration!

Always a good day when you get to make rocket fuel

Coming soon to a launch site probably not near you!

P.S. can anyone guess the name of this rocket just by the color?

[CU Sounding Rocket Lab @CU_SRL]

yo, anybody know how to build a rocket? asking for a friend.
