About URoc

The Utah Rocket group (URoc) is an engineering project group composed of mechanical and electrical engineering students that believe Utah schools should do more to encourage the growth of the aerospace industry. Their goal is to design and build a rocket capable of reaching a height that meets or exceeds the legal limit of space. This would make the University of Utah the first university in U.S. history to achieve this goal.

Bad News

Well we have bad news. Do to some problems with BLM paperwork, we had to postpone the launch date. It's a real bummer to all of us, but we will have to postpone. The new proposed date is in May, May 8th is what we are planning on at the moment as long as that works with their schedule. This is good and bad news. Good because it means we have more time to prepare for launch, we won't be as rushed, and have a higher chance for success. The bad news is that it will be after graduation and may be a conflict for post graduation plans. It also turns out that the weather in May is much better for this kind of launch, so it may be for the best after all. Stay posted for more details.
