Fall 2023 Involvement Fair
Day 0 Presentation
Club Space Showcase
Before classes started again on August 28th, 2023, we attended the Involvement Fair during UToledo's Rocket Launch Weekend to showcase what UT Rocketry has to offer for incoming freshmen. On August 30th, 2023 we hosted our "Day 0 Presentation" for new and returning members, The purpose of this presentation was to give everybody an understanding of what we do at UT Rocketry and the sets of skills one can learn when they are apart of the team. We also showed off our club space with the equipment we use to manufacture high powered rockets.
Rocket Body Showcase
OpenRocket Showcase
During the beginning of the Fall semester, UT Rocketry's Mentor, Andrew Kleinhenz, gave club members a crash course into the components used in amateur rocketry.
Vice President Brody Greenwood uses his knowledge in OpenRocket to show new members how to design, create, and simulate rockets using this software.
At the end of October, UT Rocketry attended HalloweEngineering where we had candy for children that wanted to learn about rockets. While our demonstration by using stomp rockets were simple, we were able to explain the fundamentals of propulsion to a younger audience with this model. UT Rocketry, as well as other Mechanical Engineering organizations, were able to reach a direct audience of over 100 people during this fun, Halloween themed event.

Work on the NASA USLI Preliminary Design Report
UT Rocketry is taking part in NASA's 2023-2024 USLI Competition this year, which is an intensive competition against other colleges and universities in the United States. Most of the fall semester consisted of working on the Preliminary Design Report, where we outline the options of our design per the competition requirements. After submitting a report to NASA, we then presented our project to a panel of engineers and aerospace professionals. On December 16th, we successfully launched our subscale rocket in South Charleston, Ohio to an altitude of 2279 ft with successful deployment of both the drogue and main parachute.
