SDSU ROCKET PROJECT

LADY ELIZABETH - LIQUID METHANE/LIQUID OXYGEN STUDENT BUILT ROCKET

OVERVIEW

I joined ROCKET PROJECT my freshman year looking for a hands on application of the major I just enlisted in. At the time, the organization had just started to finalize the design for Lady Elizabeth (rocket depicted to the left). Before coming to SDSU, I had extensive exposure and broad experience in manufacturing allowing me to an integral part of the production and assembly of the rocket itself. Over the next two years, I made parts, integrated components, and aided in a successful static hot fire and launch.
