September 2025 - 1000N Hybrid Rocket Engine Hotfire

This is the smaller version of the hybrid rocket engine that will go onboard the rocket. Like the main engine, it will use nitrous oxide as the oxidizer and paraffin wax as the fuel. With the smaller engine, we hope to familiarize ourself with the casting process of paraffin as well as validate our initial designs to ensure that our engine is scalable. Things we will be looking for include injector performance, pressure drop across our feed system, and whether our engine meets our designed requirements.

October 2025 - 2500N Hybrid Rocket Engine Hotfire

This is the motor that will serve as the primarily propulsion device of the rocket for the Collegiate Propulsive Lander Challenge. Like the small-scale motor, it will use nitrous oxide as the oxidizer and paraffin wax as the fuel. In the future, we will be testing and collecting a series of data and relationships that will be fed into our flight computers for any control-related algorithms. In the near future, we are excited to integrate the main engine with other of our systems including a thrust vector control module and a throttling valve.

January 2026 - First Tethered Hover

For the Collegiate Propulsive Lander Challenger we be attempting the Tethered Hover challenge. Our vehicle must hover while carrying a substantial payload for a total of 10 seconds without moving its centroid moving outside a 1-cubic-meter box.

March 2026 - First 10M Hop

The 10M Hop is our first step to the 50M Hop challenge for CPLC, where we must controllably ascend the vehicle while carrying a payload from the ground to 10 meters above ground level, then demonstrate a successful landing within a 10-meter diameter landing circle.

April 2026 - First 50M Hop

This is the full height that our 10M Hop challenge rocket will ascend to and be landed onto the target circle from.
