What We Do
The CU Sounding Rocket Laboratory (CUSRL) is the largest student research and development organization at CU, and is the premier amateur rocketry group in the state of Colorado. CUSRL provides an environment where, through hands-on, in-depth engineering projects, CU students have the opportunity to work collaboratively throughout the entirety of the engineering process. Through this process, SRL members develop technical and leadership skills, as well as experience with regard to practical side of engineering; which have been proven to help SRL members become valuable engineers and contributors to a vast array of disciplines within industry.
