WE ARE UCSC'S PREMIER AEROSPACE ORGANIZATION

Nested within the forests, the UCSC Rocket Team is the leading aerospace organization at the University of California, Santa Cruz. We design and build high-powered rockets that push bounds of performance while performing research missions.
Rocket Team is home to a unique experience that enables students of any background of major to take on the biggest problems facing the modern areospace industry and academia. We understand that ingenuity can come from anywhere, and take us everywhere, so we embrace curiosity and persevere to build our spirit and build tomorrow.

PUSHING LIMITS

"Settle" isn't in our vocabulary. "Good enough" isn't good enough for us. The only competitor we have is ourselves, and we're dead set on winning. With every new project we break boundries, pushing ourselves higher and higher, soaring to new hights in search of something greater than ourselves. Our members take this attitude with them wherever they go, working tirelssly to advance the aerospace industry, and show the world all a slug is capable of.

EMPOWERING OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY

Beyond engineering excellence, we’re dedicated to sharing our passion for aerospace with our community. Through outreach events, workshops, and demonstrations, we inspire future innovators and provide students of all backgrounds with hands-on opportunities to explore STEM. By building together, we strengthen not only our team, but the community that supports us.
