Where Engineering Becomes Reality
Technion Rocket Club is a student-led organization that strives for excellence, innovation, and industry leadership in the field of rocket science, while focusing on academic development with uncompromising professionalism.
Our Mission
As a perennial project, we are committed to:
- Launching rockets every academic year
- Doubling the maximum altitude achieved annually
- Increasing the number of participating members continuously
As curious and creative people, we aim to explore and develop:
- Advanced rocket engine designs
- Different types of rocket fuels
- Advanced landing methods for rockets. All while considering academic and industrial requirements
Who Are We?
- The club was founded in March 2022 by ten students, with the support of Prof. Gil Yudilevitch.
- Today, over 40 students—mostly from the Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering faculties—are actively involved.
- We research, design, and build cutting-edge rockets, under the guidance of Dr. Nachum Eisen.
- We are proud to be the only student club in Israel that designs and builds its own rocket engines.
Technical Teams
🛰️ Avionics
- Develops electronic systems for data collection, telemetry, and flight control.
- Integrates sensors, programs the onboard flight computer, and activates recovery systems.
🚀 Launch Operations & External Outreach
- Manages launch site logistics, safety protocols, and countdown execution.
- Responsible for media engagement, industry connections, and public outreach.
🧱 Construction
- Designs the rocket’s airframe and internal layout to ensure strength and stability.
- Works with lightweight materials, aerodynamics, and modular test components.
🔥 Propulsion
- Designs, manufactures, and tests the hybrid rocket engine.
- Focuses on combustion dynamics, fuel grain geometry, and oxidizer delivery systems.
Project One – Hybrid Rocket
What is a Hybrid Engine?
A hybrid rocket engine:
- Combines solid fuel with a liquid or gaseous oxidizer
- Offers a balance between safety, control, and performance
- Is easier to store and handle than fully liquid systems
- Enables variable thrust, unlike solid motors
- Is used in both educational platforms and commercial rockets
We are the only club in Israel building its own hybrid rocket engine.
Key Project Goals:
- Build a safe and modular test platform
- Reach a target altitude of ~1 km
- Design for peak thrust ~500 N
- Gain hands-on experience in propulsion, control systems, and testing
Timeline
| Semester | Milestones |
| Spring Semester | Design, Construction, Avionics, Initial Testing |
| Summer Semester | Final Testing + Launch |
Each team works in parallel to complete and integrate their subsystems into the final prototype.
