About us

Welcome to the Ascensus Rocketry Team – a dynamic assembly of Puerto Rican undergraduate students proudly representing the esteemed Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico. Rooted in a passion for engineering and space exploration, our team is primarily composed of dedicated senior students who have enthusiastically embraced the challenge of high-powered rocketry as part of their Capstone project.

Driven by the desire to elevate standards within our institution, the Ascensus Rocketry Team is committed to establishing a legacy that future generations of students at the Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico can aspire to. We believe in pushing boundaries, fostering innovation, and leaving an unforgettable mark on the field of rocketry.

In a bid to share our enthusiasm and extend the reach of our endeavors, our team has taken the bold initiative to inaugurate a new student chapter – the PUPR High-Powered Rocketry Team. This chapter aims to inspire and motivate fellow students to delve into the exhilarating world of rocket engineering. Our goal is to create a community where passion meets purpose, encouraging others to join us in the pursuit of excellence.

At the heart of our collective ambition is the participation in NASA's Student Launch Challenge, a platform that propels us to new heights and fosters a spirit of competition and camaraderie. Through our dedication, innovation, and unwavering commitment, we aspire to make a lasting impact not only in the skies but in the hearts and minds of those who share our vision.

Join us on this thrilling journey as we reach for the stars, break through barriers, and redefine what is possible. The Ascensus Rocketry Team invites you to be part of a legacy in the making – where innovation knows no bounds, and the sky is just the beginning.
