Swamp Launch Rocket Team

This is the Swamp Launch Rocket Team's fifth year competing in the NASA University Student Launch Initiative. The team consists of about 20 students in aerospace, mechanical, electrical, nuclear, and environmental engineering. They are divided into five groups: electronics, propulsions and flight dynamics, rocket structures, payload structures, and recovery. They have chosen an engineering payload that will examine lateral flight dynamics for this year.

The USLI competition is a year-round project for college students to design, build, and launch a reusable, recoverable, high-powered rocket with a scientific payload to a target maximum altitude of one mile. It engages students in scientific research and real-world engineering processes with NASA engineers. The project requires a report written for each step of the design phase that details the design and safety of the students' project - the Preliminary Design Review, the Critical Design Review, the Flight Readiness Review, and the Post Launch Assessment Review. The PDR, CDR, FRR, and PLAR are evaluated by panels of scientists and engineers from NASA and by NASA contractors and external partners.
