Help Send UH Engineers to Rocketry Competition!

Hello, we’re Space City Rocketry, AIAA-UH’s largest competitive engineering team! Our main goal is to provide students with hands-on engineering experience and the opportunity to learn how to work within a large team by designing and building a high-powered rocket. Every year, we compete at one of the largest international collegiate rocketry competitions, the Spaceport America Cup held in Las Cruces, New Mexico. This year we’ve built a brand new rocket, Zenith, to reach 30,000 feet and we need your help to go to competition! For more information, please see below!

Since its establishment, SCR has competed at Spaceport America Cup three times with two different rockets. SCR first competed with Prometheus back in 2018. Competing in the 10,000 ft. Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) category, the 6-inch diameter, 9 ft tall rocket was able to reach an apogee of nearly 8,000 ft. Later in 2019 and 2021, SCR competed with Oberon. Also competing in the 10k COTS category, the 6-inch diameter, 10 ft tall rocket reached 9,907 ft. Oberon was the most successful rocket, helping SCR take 15th place in the 2021 competition and being the highest placing team in all of Texas, placing above Rice, Texas A&M, and UT-Austin.

SCR, now larger than ever with 60+ active members, plans to take on its biggest challenge to date, competing for the first time in the 30,000 ft. COTS category with Zenith. Zenith will be the first high-power rocket that the team has built since Oberon in 2019, and we believe it is the most ambitious engineering project at UH! Without your help, Zenith will be unable to compete this year. Thank you for your support!
