OVERVIEW

PSP Hybrids is committed to

developing a hybrid propellant rocket

to compete at the FAR 51025

competition.

PSP Hybrids was formed in the Fall of 2018 with intentions of revitalizing Hybrid rockets here at Purdue and help put Purdue on top of the rocket competition world by having three concurrent experimental rocket teams (PSP Liquids, PSP Solids, and PSP Hybrids). As a whole, PSP Hybrids puts a major emphasis on training and educating members in the science and engineering behind rockets through training sessions and a library of well documented resources that can be found in Resources. PSP Hybrids wants to not only compete at competitions but also wants to offer a platform for members to practice and prepare for a future in industry.

About FAR 51025

Hosted annually in the Mojave Desert near California City, the Friends of Amateur Rocketry (FAR) 51025 competition promotes the development of fully student-researched and built experimental launch vehicles, along with complex engineering payloads.
