This competition brings student rocketry teams from across the USA and around the world to Spaceport America. During this week long event, team are judged on a multitude of different criteria revolving around the teams rocket. Because of the pandemic this years Spaceport America Contest 2020 has been cancelled, however the team is still hoping to compete in the 10,000 category next year 2021.  We will continue our goal of creating a custom made carbon fiber body tubes as well as several new enhancements to our avionics, camera bay, recovery systems, and a custom payload built by the RIT Spex team.  We aim to not only achieve a successful launch, but also leave the competition victorious!
