Student Information
Society of Aeronautics and Rocketry
The Society of Aeronautics and Rocketry (SOAR) is the oldest aerospace-focused, student-led
organization at USF. We are dedicated to the design, construction, and testing of
rockets and propulsion systems, providing students with hands-on experience in projects
that closely mirror real-world aerospace challenges.
We currently have two major projects: the development of a bipropellant liquid rocket
engine capable of producing 250 lbf of thrust, and the construction of a high-powered
sounding rocket designed to reach 5,000 ft while carrying a scientific payload. The
liquid engine serves as our research initiative, while the sounding rocket is our
entry for the NASA Student Launch competition.
