Western Engineering Rocketry Team

The GitHub of the Western Engineering Rocketry Team, a student team at The University of Western Ontario

Hi there 👋

Welcome to the Western Engineering Rocketry Team (WERT)! 🚀

We are a passionate, student-led engineering design team at Western University in London, Ontario, founded in 2016. Our mission is to innovate, design, and launch high-powered rockets for the Intercollegiate Rocket Engineering Competition (IREC) at the Spaceport America Cup, the world's largest intercollegiate rocketry competition.

Our Subteams 🛠️

  • Aerostructure: Focuses on the rocket's body and structural components.
  • Propulsion: Develops the engines and propulsion systems.
  • Avionics: Designs the electronic systems for flight control and data collection.
  • Recovery: Ensures the safe return of our rockets with parachutes and other systems.
  • Payload: Handles the scientific experiments and cargo our rockets carry.

Achievements 🌟

As of our 2022-2024 season we have...

  • Successfully launched our rockets at Spaceport America Cup.
  • Ranked 41st out of 93 teams in our first appearance at the competition.
  • Developed innovative rockets with homemade carbon fiber bodies and advanced avionics.
