Student Groups – Waterloo Rocketry Team

The University of Waterloo Rocketry Team compete at the Intercollegiate Rocket Engineering Competition held in Utah each June. For the competition we design, build and launch rockets with ten pound payloads to 10,000 and 25,000 feet. In 2011 we flew our first rocket with a student built hybrid engine. This year we launched a rocket that spanned over twenty feet and was propelled by a student built liquid engine. Few teams have attempted to fly their rocket with an advanced engine design like ours showing the excellent technical ability of our team. WRT consists of undergraduate and graduate students from many faculties including Engineering, Science and Arts. We welcome new members from all academic levels including first years.
