Active AIAA Projects:
Spaceport America Cup
After a successful first launch in the 2023 Spaceport Amercia Cup, the Badger Ballistics returned in 2024 to compete in the 10k COTS competition and payload competition. The Badger Ballistics walked away from Spaceport Americacup 2024 with a second place trophy in the payload competition.
Argonia Cup
This year the goal for Argonia is to design and launch a two-stage rocket, containing a payload, to reach 9,ooo ft above ground level. The payload must be recovered safely to location on the rocket range.
Level 1, 2, and 3 Model Rocketry Certifications
Get certified to design, build, and launch your own high powered rockets! AIAA works with Tripoli Wisconsin and attends monthly launches at Bong Recreational Facility. More information on certifications can be found at Tripoli or NAR websites.
Wisconsin Rocket Lab Liquid Development
The Wisconsin Rocket Labs sub team of AIAA is currently developing the first prototype of a GCH4-GOX torch igniter. This is the first step towards a planned LCH4-LOX rocket engine with a target thrust of 1000 lbf.
