About
The Texas A&M University Sounding Rocketry Team is an interdisciplinary student-run organization dedicated to developing engineering talent through the design, construction, testing, and flight of complex rocket systems.
Members work through professional design reviews, manufacturing, rigorous testing, competition, and detailed documentation while building both solid-motor vehicles and student-developed hybrid propulsion systems.

How it gets built
Every vehicle is designed, built, and flown by students working across recurring disciplines.
- 01ValorValor is a requirement-driven development team where members work across disciplines to turn mission requirements into defensible vehicle designs, hardware, tests, and design reviews.
- 02AvionicsAvionics develops the telemetry, power, control, communication, payload, and embedded systems that let SRT vehicles sense, communicate, record, and act throughout a mission.
- 03FinanceFinance manages budgets, purchasing, sponsor funds, reimbursements, and the financial records that keep every SRT project supplied and accountable.
- 04MediaMedia documents SRT’s technical work and turns tests, builds, competitions, recruiting, and sponsor activity into photography, video, graphics, social content, and team communications.
- 05DynamicsDynamics models trajectory, aerodynamics, stability, loads, aeroelasticity, guidance and control, and post-flight behavior so vehicle decisions are grounded in predicted flight performance.
- 06GSEGSE builds the controls, data acquisition, software, networking, test infrastructure, and operating procedures used to safely run engines, fluid systems, launch hardware, and other SRT tests.
- 07PropulsionPropulsion designs, manufactures, models, and tests SRT hybrid rocket engines and the tanks, plumbing, injectors, chambers, nozzles, and feed systems that make them work.
- 08StructuresStructures designs, analyzes, manufactures, and tests the airframe, structural interfaces, composites, metallic hardware, and supporting CAD that carry SRT vehicles through build and flight.
- 09RecoveryRecovery designs, integrates, and tests parachutes, deployment electronics, separation and retention hardware, and recovery-bay systems so the vehicle can return intact and be located after flight.
