Javelina was CRT's competition rocket for the 2024 Spaceport America Cup. Javelina's systems were nearly all Student Researched and Developed (SRAD), from its avionic electronics and software to its motor casing and grains. This was our second rocket to compete in the 10,000 ft SRAD solid motor category, and we are proud to say we had a successful flight with all SRAD systems working as expected!

THE COMPETITION

Every year, over 1,700 students and faculty gather in Southern New Mexico to compete in the Spaceport America Cup —the world’s largest intercollegiate rocket engineering competition. These competitors represent the best and brightest from more than 150 institutions located all across the world. Cornell Rocketry Team is proud to represent our team each year and compete for the cup!

The requirements for the competion include...
  • Constructing a rocket sufficiently durable so that it may be launched, recovered, and re-launched repeatedly

  • Creating a communications system that will track the rocket and relay its flight information and location coordinates

  • Launching to precisely 10,000 feet above ground level

  • Reaching the required height with a one engine stage

  • Deploying a guided parafoil which ejects from the forward section during descent
