Avionics
Avionics develops the telemetry, power, control, communication, payload, and embedded systems that let SRT vehicles sense, communicate, record, and act throughout a mission.
Explore Avionics↗Finance
Finance manages budgets, purchasing, sponsor funds, reimbursements, and the financial records that keep every SRT project supplied and accountable.
Explore Finance↗Media
Media documents SRT’s technical work and turns tests, builds, competitions, recruiting, and sponsor activity into photography, video, graphics, social content, and team communications.
Explore Media↗Dynamics
Dynamics models trajectory, aerodynamics, stability, loads, aeroelasticity, guidance and control, and post-flight behavior so vehicle decisions are grounded in predicted flight performance.
Explore Dynamics↗Ground Support Engineering
GSE 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.
Explore GSE↗Propulsion
Propulsion designs, manufactures, models, and tests SRT hybrid rocket engines and the tanks, plumbing, injectors, chambers, nozzles, and feed systems that make them work.
Explore Propulsion↗Structures
Structures designs, analyzes, manufactures, and tests the airframe, structural interfaces, composites, metallic hardware, and supporting CAD that carry SRT vehicles through build and flight.
Explore Structures↗Recovery
Recovery 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.
