KNOW THE TEAM

About Us

We are an interdisciplinary team of 45+ students working together to develop high-power rockets and a vision to propel Indian amateur rocketry to new heights while nurturing STEM education

Vision

The team is driven by a vision to elevate Indian amateur rocketry by pioneering advancements. Our mission extends beyond launching rockets; we aim to foster core technical skills among students and promote STEM education across diverse levels, contributing to a robust foundation for future scientific innovation.

Rocket Adyant

Adyant, our inaugural high-power solid propellant rocket, stands tall at 10 feet with a maximum speed of Mach 0.9. Crafted from glass fiber composites and carbon fiber fins, it is capable of carrying a 4 kg payload and designed to soar to an altitude of 10,000 feet above ground level.

OUR EXPEDITION TO SA CUP 2023

The Spaceport America Cup stands as the world's largest inter-collegiate rocketry competition, witnessing participation from over 150 teams from 25+ countries annually. In June 2023, our team participated in the competition for the first time, launching "Adyant" to a remarkable altitude of 8984 ft. The rocket was successfully recovered as well facilitated by a dual deployment parachute system, which helped the team secure the prestigious national rank 1 and 66th globally among 159 international teams. This triumph serves as a pivotal milestone, offering invaluable learning experiences and propelling the team towards future achievements.

TEAM MEMBERS TESTIMONIALS

Get to know first hand stories from our current and past team members.

I have been intrigued by explosives since childhood, I had the aim of making firecrackers, back then, and now here I am, today with a much wider aim, that I could not envisage even 2 years down the lane, in the grand realm of Rocketry! thanks to The IITB Rocket team. which has fuelled my interests and propelled me to work hard, get hands-on experience, and learn new skills, which cannot be gained academically or even through projects. I can proudly say that the work we do is literally Rocket Science!

-Yash Bhake, Propulsion Engineer

Being a part of this team will always be integral to my college experience. From late night cooking propellants to the early morning launches, the journey has been exhilarating. This team has given me more than I can express, from team bonding to enduring friendships and high spirits when nothing seemed to be going our way. We started from scratch but the collective spirit in everyone propelled us to unimaginable feats and now there is no stopping this team and everything that it aims to achieve.

- Nistha Agarwal, Ex Propulsion Engineer

Working in the IITB Rocket Team has been a rewarding experience. As a Junior Design Engineer in my second year, I gained hands-on experience in developing rocket motor systems from scratch. Progressing to the role of Subsystem Head allowed me to lead a dedicated subteam in developing and manufacturing rocket propellants, motors and the related systems. Currently, my position as a Team Leader being responsible for the overall direction of the team and ensuring successful project execution has been a dynamic journey filled with challenges and learning opportunities. Everyone is always ready to tackle problems as a team which itself is a great source of motivation to take it to great heights.

-Rajeev Dhurandhar, Team Lead

Since childhood, I've been captivated by airplanes and rockets, and have dreamt of contributing to this field. Now, as a member of the Avionics Subsystem in the IITB Rocket Team, I'm living that dream, and the experience has been both thrilling and demanding. The collaboration, innovation, and dedication within our team have not only deepened my understanding of avionics but also fueled our collective success. I have learnt countless things ranging all the way from telemetry and communication to data processing and navigation and I am determined to continue pushing boundaries and introducing innovations in this exciting field.
