DEFYING GRAVITY BEYOND MACH.




ABOUT

Who we are


INDIA'S TOP STUDENT ROCKETRY TEAM!



thrustMIT started off in early 2016 as a group of rocket enthusiasts with the
aim of promoting High-Power-Rocketry in India. The team takes part in the
Spaceport America Cup, which is the biggest platform in the world for students
to showcase their rocketry skills. We are currently the top team in India and
one of the top teams in Asia.

The team has competed in several editions of the Spaceport America Cup since
2016. Our rockets, Vyom, Arya and Rayquaza earned Spot awards for design and
team professionalism in 2018, 2019 and 2022 and were well received by the judges
and other competitors. Alatir was our latest rocket for the year 2023, it was
our first rocket to have a successful recovery and this was our closest ever
launch with an apogee of 10,331 ft. In 2022, our rocket Rayquaza came 4th in the
James Barrowman Award. In 2016 and 2018, we were featured in India's biggest
magazines, Composite Today, India Times, and Bangalore Mirror.


SUBSYSTEMS

Our Subsystems

AERODYNAMICS

Aerodynamics subsystem ensures that the rocket follows the correct trajectory
and has optimum efficiency. It involves designing fins, nose cone and performing
CFD simulations to analyse the aerodynamic forces, flow pattern and stability of
the rocket. Major experimental projects include supersonic simulations, air
brakes, and designing active control surfaces.

AVIONICS

The Avionics subsystem develops the flight computer for our rocket. It involves
programming a multitude of sensors to track live rocket data. We also develop
systems like air brakes and reaction control systems. We are further looking
into data compression and video telemetry. We are working on an autonomous
antenna tracker system to track our rocket in flight.

MANAGEMENT

Management is responsible for the smooth functioning of the entire team. Finance
& Sponsorship monitors the Team’s budget and plans and executes successful
strategies for sponsorship. We make sure that our team gets all the materials
required. We also manage our website and social media handles.

PAYLOAD & RESEARCH

Payload and Research is an interdisciplinary subsystem which develops the
payload and research on various aspects of rocketry and beyond. Research into
Radial Deployment of our Payloads, Supersonic Aerodynamic Profiles, Optimization
of CFD using Deep Learning and Optimization of Apogee Prediction Algorithms
using Machine Learning is underway.

PROPULSION

The Propulsion Subsystem develops the rocket engine. We plan to build the first
student developed Liquid Rocket Engine in India. Research into Solid Rocket
Fuel, Ignitors, Design Optimization, Thrust Vector Control and Reaction Control
System Design is underway.

STRUCTURES

Structures is responsible for the design of the rocket exterior and interior. We
perform composite and structural simulations of the rocket airframe and internal
components. Structures is responsible for the structural stability and safety of
the rocket. We are also working on a static motor ground testing rig.
