Aerospace NU
AerospaceNU is for anyone and everyone who wants to design and build projects with the goal of getting them in the air. Whether it’s rockets, unmanned aerial vehicles, quadcopters, or satellites, you can bet we’re building it and sending it soaring. This club supports multiple projects at a time, some that compete against universities across the world, some that are trying to break records, and others that are just for research and fun. You don’t need to have any experience to join us! We are here to give students the opportunity to get their hands dirty and pursue projects about which they are passionate. Check out our website, aerospacenu.com for more information!
The key subjects AeroNU has explored over the years are solid-fuel rocketry, liquid rocket propulsion, drone and plane research and development, drone racing, and weather balloons. AeroNU also hosts an Introduction to Aerospace program each year to onboard underclassmen into rocketry, drone, and propulsion basics. Our nationally recognized club continues to grow and advance, producing hundreds of successful students in aerospace-related careers each year.
