Rocket Project Solids - Fall 2026

Every rocket starts with a spark! Your gift helps keep our team equipped with the essential safety equipment and lab supplies used throughout the manufacturing and testing of our rocket. From protective equipment to tools and consumable supplies, every contribution helps ignite our progress and keep our mission moving forward.

Your support helps advance the manufacturing of our 30K rocket, providing the materials and components needed to turn our designs into flight-ready hardware bringing our rocket to life. With your support, we can turn ambitious designs into the hardware that propels our project forward.

Your contribution helps power our journey to 30,000 feet supporting the materials and hardware needed to develop and test our student-developed N-class solid rocket motor and in-house formulated APCP propellant. Together, we can push the capabilities of our propulsion system and take our project to new heights.

Your donation helps provide the hardware, materials and replacement components needed to test and validate our rocket systems. Each test gives us valuable data to identify problems, refine our designs and prepare for flight. Your support keeps our mission on track as we test, learn and improve with every iteration.

Your generosity helps us take on one of the biggest challenges of our 30K rocket: controlling its flight and bringing it safely back to the ground. Your support helps us develop the avionics, active airbrakes and recovery systems that allow us to precisely target our 30,000-foot apogee and safely recover our rocket. Thank you for believing in our vision and helping us take on our most ambitious engineering challenges yet.

Your incredible support at this level makes a significant impact on our journey from 10K to 30K. Your support helps fund final flight hardware and operational logistics for IREC 2027 as our team represents UC Irvine. Your generosity helps push UC Irvine Rocket Project Solids beyond 30K and build a stronger foundation for the ambitious projects our future teams will pursue.
