RIT Launch Initiative

Location

Student Hall for Exploration and Development - A950

From drawing board to launch pad, the RIT Launch Initiative is a student-run club committed to providing members avenues for innovation and experience through real world applications. We are continuously building upon the skills of our members and the knowledge base of our teams, with the eventual goal of developing a rocket that successfully reaches space. At our booth visitors will be able to get a close look at a majority of our rockets and projects, both in progress and completed. RIT Launch members will provide top of the line information about the modern high powered rocketry field and all its facets; including solid and liquid propulsion, avionics and flight hardware, composites manufacturing, the physics of rocket-flight, and so much more!
