SEDS Leon I Methane Rocket Engine

Donation protected
SEDS SJSU is attempting to demonstrate part of the technology needed to get humans to and from the surface of Mars!

This will be SJSU's first rocket engine, the Leon I. Design calculations and computer modeling are complete, and CFD simulations have confirmed our results. We also have an official quote from GPI Prototyping, so provided enough funds, we are ready to go!

We'll be sending out a sponsorship package to engineering companies, but we also want you to get involved too!

Donations of atleast $500 will receive a tax ID!

**All donors will get to have their name in the credits of our digital media of the test fire**
