STAR: Space Technologies and Rocketry

We are UC Berkeley’s competitive high-powered rocketry team. We engineer payloads, control systems UC Berkeley doesn’t have an official aerospace program.

The goal of Space Technologies and Rocketry is to create new and innovative technologies for use in high powered rockets and other space related vehicles, and enter associated competitions. We aim to fill that role by being a research hub and group where anyone passionate about aerospace can find a home. Among our many projects, we research propulsion, develop avionics and software, and, of course, design, build, test, and fly high powered rockets out of spaceports in the Central Valley and the Mojave Desert. Another primary function of our club is hosting outreach events in the Berkeley community in order to engage children and adults in the fields of science, engineering, mathematics, and aeronautics. This year, we will be participating in ESRA’s Intercollegiate Rocket Engineering Competition, where we will design, test, and build a high-powered rocket with a custom build motor capable of reaching an altitude of 10,000 feet. The ultimate goal of STAR is to be the first group to send an entirely university built rocket into space.
