Terp Rockets Team

This year, the Spaceport America Cup—which is the world’s largest intercollegiate rocket engineering competition—drew 122 teams from around the world to test their rocketry and engineering skills, launching solid, liquid, and hybrid rockets to target altitudes of 10,000 and 30,000 feet.

Over the past year, a team of 75 Maryland engineering students worked tirelessly to refine their design, build, and test their nearly 13-foot competition-winning rocket, Honu. Meaning turtle in Hawaiian, Honu featured a carbon fiber fin can with Terps Rocket’s signature fins, an airbrake, custom avionics, and payload.
