THRUST is a high powered rocketry student group at UIUC with the goal of sending a fully student made liquid rocket engine to space.
About Us
See who we are.
THRUST currently has several projects going at once, from full engines to individual control systems, all of which will help with our end goal of reaching space. Our biggest projects at the moment are two small scale liquid engines and one solid rocket meant to reach space.
Our Projects
Learn about Level One, Spaceshot, Ignis, our Research & Development program, and more.
THRUST offers technical experiences you’ll find nowhere else at the University of Illinois, a network of alumni in major industries in aerospace, and professional development for club members.
