The mission of UTSTAR is for like-minded individuals to come together to produce unique hobby rocket systems, from vertical landing systems utilizing thrust-vectoring technology to intriguing multi-stage vehicles. Team members will get hands-on exposure to all stages of the design process, by designing, producing, and testing propulsion, structural, aerodynamic, and avionics components completely from scratch. Team membership may also include guest speaker seminars and subject-related social opportunities. The team will be open to all-comers – no prior experience in the field is required.
