Team History |
Icarus Rocketry was founded in the Summer of 2013 by a team of committed graduate and undergraduate students at Arizona State University. Sharing the common bond of a love for space and rocketry, annealed by the desire for a true high power rocketry, and emboldened by truly lofty goals the students set out to on a path of pitfalls, exploration, and discovery.
Our long-term goals are the driving force behind our creation. We have a series of milestones which include being the first student-only team to meet the goals of the Carmack Prize (launch to 100,000' AGL), and a rocket flight (literally) to the edge of space, also known as the von Karmen line (100km above sea level). In doing so, we hope to establish low-cost, reliable launch platforms to support potential high school and university research in low-gravity environments. We also hope to engage middle and high school students by sharing our passion for science and engineering, and empowering the next generation of rocket scientists. |
