Project Overview
XSpace is one of two of RIT Launch Initiative's "Space Race" teams. The space race teams were created primarily for new club members to learn the fundamentals of sport rocketry and to experience working together on a rocket development project throughout the academic year. Each Space Race team consists of 8-12 members, each of who contributes to a certain part of the team's rocket design. 

​Both RIT Launch Initiative Space Race teams are tasked with building a National Association of Rocketry (NAR), High Power Rocketry (HPR) Level 2 model rocket. The rocket must meet the following requirements: 
  • Cesaroni 6 Grain XL Motor Casing
  • Off-the-shelf motor
  • Minimum altitude of 5000ft
  • Minimum factor of safety of 3.0
  • Minimum stability of 2.5
