About the Team
The Texas A&M University Sounding Rocketry Team (SRT) is an interdisciplinary student-run organization dedicated to developing engineering talent through design, construction, testing, and showcasing of complex rocket systems powered by solid motors and hybrid rocket engines. Our goal is to develop our members into talented engineers by providing them with the necessary skills and tools to grow and succeed. Every day we aim to accomplish feats only thought possible in industry by incorporating professional design reviews, rigorous testing, and in-depth documentation of individual systems, hardware, and software.

June 22, 2024 Nineteen SRT members left for Las Cruces, New Mexico where they competed in the 2024 Spaceport America Cup. Throughout the next few days, members set up their information table at the convention center, began networking with other teams competing, made final touches to the rocket and its parts, and launched on June 21st. There were times when SRT and other teams faced difficulties during their launch attempts. Launches were delayed because of high winds, a dust storm made it difficult for teams to prepare, and rain caused interference with many teams' electronic systems. After all the hard work, the team launched their rocket, Telemachus II, and placed 6th in 10K COTS (Commercial Off the Shelf), won the Best Live Onboard Video award, and placed 10th overall. |

Competition
The Experimental Sounding Rocketry Association annually hosts the Intercollegiate Rocket Engineering Competition. This year, Spaceport America continues their partnership with ESRA to host the Annual Spaceport America Cup. The emphasis of the ESRA rocket competition is student design and construction of as much of the rocket as possible, including any propulsion, structures, avionics, recovery, or payload systems.
