The RIT Launch Initiative is a multidisciplinary student organization that applies the principles of rocket design and manufacturing for learning and competition. The team aims to prepare students for excellence in aerospace, to conduct novel research and development, and put RIT at the forefront of the emerging space push. This year the team has expanded, introduced numerous new projects, and made great strides towards becoming a leading competition team in the college of engineering here at RIT. The team has successfully flown three L3 rockets, ten L2 rockets, and has certified over 70 members to fly L1 rockets under the National Association of Rocketry (NAR). Additionally, several team members hold individual L2 and L3 high-powered rocketry NAR or Tripoli certifications.
