As a team, we specialize in liquid rocket propulsion systems. This year, we plan to become the first undergraduate team to launch and land a liquid-propelled rocket capable of generating 500 lbs of thrust. To achieve this goal, we have designed a hopper system we hope to iteratively improve using feedback from industry design reviews and months of student testing. We will be using this design to represent the University of Florida in the first-ever Collegiate Propulsive Lander Competition.
