S&T’s Rocket Design Team made university history with the successful launch of its liquid-fueled rocket, Phoenix, in June. According to the team, S&T is the 15th team in the United States and the 20th worldwide to launch a student-built liquid-fueled rocket.
Phoenix flew to a height of 21,437 feet, or just over four miles, and reached a speed of Mach 1, the speed of sound. The 13-foot-long rocket weighed 120 pounds fully loaded.
