Thank you so much to NASA, and now SpaceX, astronaut Bob Behnken for coming to UCLA yesterday and talking to us! We all learned so much from your experience and your method of working through stressful engineering situations.

ESRA made a pit stop at FAR today and found a little surprise. The @uclarocketproject team had a successful static test fire of their hybrid motor for their #SA...Cup2019 #IREC rocket. Congrats from everyone at ESRA Only a couple short months till the next #SACup. . . . #esrarocket #rocket #collegerocketry #amaturerocketry #friendsofamaturerockets #hybridmotor See more

Over the past year or so, our rocket engineering program has succeeded in 10 liquid engine static fires, 6 hybrid engine static fires, 3 liquid rocket launches, and 1 hybrid launch. Here are some highlights Song: No Good - Kaleo

Congrats to Rocket Project at UCLA for launching their liquid bi-propellant rocket at the FAR-MARS competition in Mojave. The flight was beautiful. #engineerchange

Higher and faster than we’ve ever gone before at the FAR-MARS Liquid Rocket Competition 2019. Huge thanks to all our sponsors and advisors that have helped us along the way, and the extreme dedication and hard work from all our members; we couldn’t have done it without you all!

Unfortunately, due to high winds we had to scrap our planned launch earlier today. We will back stay tuned for updates!

T-2 Days All of our hard work over the past year will be coming to fruition this upcoming weekend with the launch of our Ares Liquid Bi-Propellant Rocket! The whole of Rocket Project have put endless hours and invaluable care into this rocket making this launch ever so special. Stay tuned for this weekend to see this beautiful system speed through the sky and reach new heights!

We successfully static fired our newly manufactured graphite nozzle! Thank you to Graphitestore.com for generously donating the graphite stock used for this nozzle!
