Who We Are

Cornell Rocketry is an engineering project team dedicated to designing, assembling, and launching high-powered rockets to compete in the annual Spaceport America Cup.

Payload

Each year, our rocket carries a new payload to its target apogee of 10,000 feet. This year’s payload is a deployable camera system designed to capture in-flight footage of the rocket’s guided descent under a steerable parafoil.

BLiMS

The Break Line Manipulation System autonomously pulls the parachute’s brake lines, steering the descending rocket to a predetermined GPS coordinate.

AV Bay

The avionics bay houses the main electrical boards, such as the Central Flight Computer, and flight batteries of the launch vehicle.

Rocket Motor

Machined in-house from aluminum, our N2O-HTPB Hybrid motor is engineered to lift the launch vehicle to the target altitude of 10,000 feet, generating over 1,300 pounds of thrust.
