Hybrid Rocket Project
Over NRL’s history, the team has worked on several experimental rocketry projects. The current project is a Hybrid Rocket engine. Here at Penn State, the team has worked on designing the engine, manufacturing its components, and developing testing plans. For those interested in working on a challenging project and learning all things rocketry, this is a great project to get involved in.
