Tech Teams
LRI is composed of undergraduate students from a multitude of majors. In order to facilitate involvement and efficiency, LRI is divided into seven tech teams including: electronics, engines, flight vehicle, pumps, simulations, SRD, and testing.


Engine
The engine is one of the critical parts of LRI’s fluids system in which high pressure fluids accumulate in a thrust chamber assembly capable of delivering high levels of thrust and an incredibly awesome view. Members of this tech team get to apply their knowledge in thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and the scientific method in order to design, manufacture, and test components.

Testing
The Testing Team is responsible for designing, building and testing the fluids systems responsible for hotfiring a liquid rocket engine. At the center of this is our test stand RAND-E which houses all of the tanks, plumbing, control valves, and electrical control systems that allow us to deliver liquid propellant at the desired pressures and mass flow rates to the injector and combustion chamber of our engine.
