Queen's Rocket Engineering Team (QRET) A sounding rocket is a sub-orbital rocket designed to deliver payloads to specific altitudes.

The Queen’s Rocket Engineering Team (QRET) is a student run design team with the goal of safely designing, building, and testing sounding rockets to compete in the International Rocket Engineering Competition (IREC) in Green River, Utah. The team recently participated in the 10th IREC, presenting the lightest and smallest sounding rocket at the competition due to its unique implementation of compo

sites. The rocket traveled to 12600ft using a solid fuel motor and delivered a 10lb payload that was designed to measure wind gust flow characteristics as it fell back to the surface. Students working on this challenging project gained and will continue to obtain hands on design skills and experience that they are not normally exposed to during their education.

JOIN OUR TEAM!

Welcome to the new school year! QRET is back in action after a successful summer where we attended TWO competitions for the first time ever, and successfully launched and recovered Now For Plan A, flying it to 25,500 ft and Mach 1.5. And we want YOU to join us!

Our application form is now live and will be open until 16 September at 23:59. The link can be found here: https://forms.gle/TN9XzDzE4wRR3biR6

If you submit an application, you will be added to our slack and you will be able to attend our Build and Fly day on 18 Sept where you can build and launch your own small kit rocket! More details will be announced about this event later.

All years and disciplines are welcome and we even accept non-engineering students if you are interested!

QUASR 10th IREC Team Launch

QUASR Golden Party Rocket launch! Final apogee of 12 626 ft. Main chute and drogue chute deployed at apogee unfortunately. Were able to recover the rocket (in reflyable shape), but were unable to locate the payload! Main body and chutes were found approximately 3.5 miles from the launch site. Overall, awesome day here in Utah's 43 degree heat!
