Using their engineering and design skills acquired during their regular courses, our members use CAD/CAM, simulators, and their knowledge from their physical science classes to design rockets that solve a specific design problem.

Sato's engineering labs are equipped with many tools and equipment such as 3D printers, laser cutters, CNC mills, and lathes.  From composite body tubes to printed electronics scaffolding, most of our rocket parts, shown above, are made in-house.  If our members can imagine it, we can make it happen.

There's nothing like a launch trip to the desert!  5 to 6 times per year, our club flies with the Rocketry Organization of California (ROC) or at the Friends of Amateur Rocketry (FAR) launch site, where we often talk with the college rocket teams.  Many of our members have earned their high-powered certification from the National Association of Rocketry (NAR).
