Our mission is to advance vertical takeoff, vertical landing (VTVL) technology at the collegiate level.
PSP-AC is a research and development team that aims to advance active control technology. With the advent of propulsive landing in the private space sector, actively controlling a rocket’s position and orientation has been proven to be vital for the rapid reusability of orbital and suborbital rockets. The Active Controls team consists of multiple subteams that take on a certain aspect of this multifaceted project. These subteams include Structures and Propulsion, Guidance Navigation & Controls and Avionics. We encourage students from all backgrounds to join the effort and find the subteam that they are most interested in.
