Queen’s Rocket Engineering Team

We build and launch rockets up to 10,000ft. And we have a great time doing it.

Who are we?

We’re a diverse team of undergraduate students with a burning (ha, get it?) passion for rocketry and all things space. Every year, we collaborate to design, build, test, and launch a rocket up to 10,000ft to compete with schools across the world. Our goal is not only to launch and safely recover our rocket, but provide every member on this team the opportunity to learn about rocketry, space systems design, and engineering, all while meeting friends, developing industry-transferrable skills, and working on an incredible cross-disciplinary project.

For students: By joining this team, you can expect to learn real industry-applicable skills in several areas of engineering, including CAD, FEA simulations, Python, C/C++, circuit analysis and design, soldering, composite materials, machining, project management, and many many more. If any of these sound useful or exciting to you, sign up here.

For sponsors/alumni: Building a better rocket each year is no easy feat, and we work tirelessly to make it happen. One of our biggest sources of support is our generous sponsors and alumni, without whom any of this would be impossible.

“My most memorable experience was participating in my first competition after first year. Despite being one of the less-experienced members of the team, I was still very involved in the project. I learned so much about problem solving and what it takes to launch a rocket.”


— Melanie, Vice-President, 3rd Year ENPH
