Project Charter
LRI is currently in Phase 1 of our Project Charter, and our technical teams are focused on creating rocket components that operate safely, providing experience in the component development process.
Phase 1
Operation
In this phase, LRI shall create component systems that can function at their most basic level so that technical teams can ensure they have the prerequisite knowledge, experience, and hardware to be able to develop flight vehicle components.
Phase 2
Optimization
In this phase, LRI shall optimize component systems to perform at a factor of safety on a liquid flight vehicle such that they do not experience inert failure.

​
Phase 3
2-Factor Integration
In this phase, LRI shall both integrate a blowdown vehicle and begin the creation of a regeneratively cooled engine and LOx Pump so that we can begin creating components towards our goal, a pump-fed liquid flight vehicle.
​
Phase 4
3-Factor Integration
In this phase, LRI shall both integrate a hybrid flight vehicle and optimize our regeneratively cooled engine and LOx Pump for integration into a flight vehicle.
​
​
​
Phase 5
Full Integration
In this phase, LRI shall finally accomplish its goal of having a fully pump-fed liquid flight vehicle and be able to enter a new phase with the basic capabilities of creating a pump-fed liquid flight vehicle.

​
At LRI, we strongly believe that teams should be focused on projects that members can take full ownership of. Thus, our teams are committed to designing, manufacturing, and testing the four fundamental components of our rocket.
