About the Team
Tamu Zoom
The Texas A&M University Sounding Rocketry Team (SRT) is an interdisciplinary student-run organization dedicated to developing engineering talent through design, construction, testing, and showcasing of complex rocket systems powered by hybrid rocket engines. Our goal is to develop our members into talented engineers by providing them with the necessary skills and tools to grow and succeed. Every day we aim to accomplish feats only thought possible in industry by incorporating professional design reviews, rigorous testing, and in-depth documentation of individual systems, hardware, and software.

The 2021 Spaceport America Cup has gone virtual! You can read the official announcement of the change from ESRA here.
Over the past year, the team has been hard at work developing a brand new engine (Vulcan) and airframe (Lazarus). In November 2019, the team successfully static fired a prototype of Vulcan for the first time - making this a landmark year in which SRT has designed, constructed, and tested a new engine in the span of only one semester. Our airframe, Lazarus, is currently under construction and is expected to begin integration testing in Spring 2021.

Competition
The Experimental Sounding Rocketry Association annually hosts the Intercollegiate Rocket Engineering Competition. This year, Spaceport America continues their partnership with ESRA to host the 4th Annual Spaceport America Cup. The emphasis of the ESRA rocket competition is student design and construction of as much of the rocket as possible. This includes any propulsion, structures, avionics, recovery, or payload systems.The Sounding Rocketry Team will be competing in the 30,000 ft AGL apogee with SRAD hybrid or liquid rocket propulsion system category of the IREC/SAC.
AwardsAs this year's team aims to win the 2021 Spaceport America Cup, here's a list of awards previous teams have won: SRT-5 (2017-2018) Texas A&M University | Adair Student Organization of the Year Award 2018 Spaceport America Cup Conference | Selected Podium Session SRT-4 (2016-2017) 2017 Spaceport America Cup | 2nd Place | 10K Student-Researched & Developed Hybrid or Liquid Rocket 2017 Spaceport America Cup | Charles Hoult Award for Modeling & Simulation 2017 Spaceport America Cup Conference | Selected Podium Session | Flight of Theseus-II at the 2019 Spaceport America Cup. |

The Quick Search tool creates an easy way to search across the Texas A&M University Libraries' popular resources. Search for books, journal articles, newspapers, movies, music, digital collections, and more all in one place. Quick Search allows users the ability to:
- See a variety of sources, such as books, movies, and articles all in a single results page
- Limit results in a variety of ways to get exactly what is need, including peer-reviewed journals
- Search across the Libraries' catalogs (LibCat and MSL), Texas A&M's OAK Trust institutional repository, and hundreds of scholarly databases like JSTOR, Academic Search Complete, and ScienceDirect

Quick Search is not intended to be a comprehensive search tool, as it does not include some important databases. Several alternatives are available when searching for materials:
- Browse the University Libraries' collection of online journals and databases
- Search LibCat or the MSL catalog to find books, media, and journal
- Browse OAK Trust for theses and dissertations, special collections, and scholarly materials
- Visit with your subject librarian for research assistance
- Quick Search is the University Libraries' deployment of EBSCO Discovery Service.
