Purpose
The Longhorn Rocketry Association is a student-run organization at the University of Texas that designs, builds, and tests high-power rockets. We aim to provide hands-on experience with industry-standard design processes, and fabrication techniques, as well as testing and launch procedures.
What We Do
LRA competes in the Spaceport America Cup, with most team activities oriented towards this goal.
LRA is currently developing a hybrid engine, Taurus, for use in future Spaceport competitions.
Additionally, LRA is working on the development of multiple rockets, such as Echo, with the goal of reaching speeds never achieved by LRA. The purpose of this rocket is to lay the foundation for LRAโs eventual space-shot project.
