Interested in rocketry, aerospace, or just want more hands-on engineering experience? 🚀

Pitt SOAR is recruiting new members for the upcoming year. We design, build, test, and fly rockets for the International Rocket Engineering Competition (IREC), with opportunities to work across structures, propulsion, avionics, recovery, payloads, and more.

No prior rocketry experience is required. If you’re interested, scan the QR code and join our Discord to get started.

After a 9-month design cycle, SOAR is proud to announce the successful hotfire of Initium, our first liquid rocket engine ever fired at the University of Pittsburgh! 🔥🚀

Fueled by IPA and N2O, Initium passed coldflow and pressure testing before achieving stable ignition and sustained combustion in its first hotfire. A late-stage combustion instability was observed and is currently under investigation, but the milestone stands.

None of this would have happened without the ~15 people who poured everything into this project, or the support of Pitt’s CHE, MEMS, and ECE departments, SSOE, and the Dean’s Office for providing lab space and funding. Special shoutout to Dr. Barry for his mentorship and guidance throughout. #

Over the past weekend, we successfully static fired our SRAD 98mm 5-grain solid motor, powered by our custom Blue 104 formula 🔥

The resulting data classified the motor as an N-2650 with a 4.1s burn 📈

Huge thanks to everyone who contributed to making this test happen. A meaningful milestone, with more to come 🚀
