Students from a wide range of majors and class years contribute to RDL’s work. New members are trained through hands-on mentorship and project-based learning, while experienced members lead increasingly complex technical programs.

RDL’s mission is not only to build rockets, but to build engineers. By placing students in real engineering roles with real design reviews, hardware deadlines, and test campaigns, the organization develops the next generation of engineering leaders.

Our long-term goal is clear: develop the technology, people, and infrastructure required to send student-built rockets farther, faster, and ultimately to space.
