LIQUID ROCKETRY

at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign

Welcome to LRI

We design, build, and test liquid-propellant rockets with the goal of becoming the first collegiate group to launch a pump-fed liquid rocket!

All donations help us accomplish our goal of building a pump-fed liquid rocket. LRI members gain vital experience by testing real hardware. Please consider contributing to support our dedicated engineers.

Technical Projects

Maurice 2.1

​LRI is developing the first collegiate roll-controlled rocket. This capability will eventually allow our pumps to function without centrifugal forces. This rocket is a pathfinder, ensuring that we can develop roll control before we begin work on liquid rockets. The rocket will be monitored using solid motors and a fiberglass tube to ensure the roll does not exceed our predefined limits.
