It Depends
2017 Argonia Cup rocket (1st Place)
Named after Dr. Jamey Jacob who, in asking the class questions about an aircraft, would frequently answer, “Well, it depends.” This rocket flew twice in one afternoon, both on L1000W motors. The first flight had an altimeter failure, but the second was flawless and won the 2017 Argonia Cup.

Steadfast Steadley
Built in honor of Andrew Steadley, an SGA Senator who advocated for the Co-Sponsorship funding that allowed the team to build its first few rockets and get the program off the ground. He passed away in early 2017, just weeks before the rocket would fly. Steadfast Steadley was the team’s first flight over 1000 feet in altitude, and on a K700W, it flew to 8750 feet, the team’s highest flight by a factor of 10.

Tory I
Test rocket for the 2017 Spaceport America Cup, named after Dr. Victoria Snowden, the former NASA Oklahoma Space Grant Consortium Chair who passed away. This NASA Grant was for $5000 in funding, allowing the team to compete in the 2017 Spaceport America Cup.
Tory II
2017 Spaceport America Cup rocket
Nearly identical to Tory I. Suffered an in-flight failure under the boost of the team’s first M flight on an M1500G.
2016
It’s Trivial
First rocket flown by the OSU AIAA Rocketry Team. A Madcow DX3 kit, named after Dr. Balaji Jayaraman. The name is fitting as the kit build was a simple starting point, a rather trivial build. It has been used in test flights for camera footage and test flights for Spaceport America Cup hardware.
Be Beloved
First scratch-built rocket to fly with dual-deployment electronic recovery, named after Dr. Glenn Brown who began his Fluid Dynamics course by asking the class, “Do you want to be beloved?” It was used for a test flight in preparation for the 2017 Argonia Cup where a tangled parachute led to a partial failure of the airframe.
