Slack Connect lets two companies move as quickly as one. Hatch a partnership. Build something new. Learn more about Slack Connect. And you can chat face to face, with just a click. And video calling, too. In short: it’s a more human way to work.

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 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.

Latest News

The 2021 Spaceport America Cup has gone virtual! You can read the official announcement of the change from ESRA here.
Over the past year, the team has been hard at work developing a brand new engine (Vulcan) and airframe (Lazarus). In November 2019, the team successfully static fired a prototype of Vulcan for the first time - making this a landmark year in which SRT has designed, constructed, and tested a new engine in the span of only one semester. Our airframe, Lazarus, is currently under construction and is expected to begin integration testing in Spring 2021.
SRT-7 members meeting at the RELLIS campus Flight Lab Hangar. Most of the team's operational tests and integrations take place at this facility.
Be sure to follow us on our Social Media to keep up to date with the team's progress as we prepare for our semester milestones and tests as well as our annual summer competition, the Spaceport America Cup!

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 4th Annual Spaceport America Cup. The emphasis of the ESRA rocket competition is student design and construction of as much of the rocket as possible. This includes any propulsion, structures, avionics, recovery, or payload systems.The Sounding Rocketry Team will be competing in the 30,000 ft AGL apogee with SRAD hybrid or liquid rocket propulsion system category of the IREC/SAC.

Awards

As this year's team aims to win the 2021 Spaceport America Cup, here's a list of awards previous teams have won:
​​SRT-5 (2017-2018)
