Aims-1
Our Ultimate Goal
Our Ultimate Goal
Program Overview
Aims-1 is our ultimate goal. It will be a two-stage rocket with an express goal of making it to 100 kilometers and making it back safely. This is extremely ambitious. With a group of people like ours that has potential to expand, we may have a shot at it in the future. Currently, we are not focusing any effort on Aims-1 development as we gain experience in rocketry with smaller vehicles. To keep up to date on everything we do, check this website regularly and follow our X page.
Aims-1 is our long-term goal and the earliest time it could launch by any realistic measure is the year 2035. The amount of work that needs to be done for such a vehicle is extreme.
For Fun: Aims-1 Mockup
This 1:1 scale mockup of an old Aims-1 design stands at 15ft tall and 12 inches in diameter. Currently located at the Jackson R. Codair Testing & Production Facility, the Aims-1 Mockup conducted a 2 second static fire test with an Aerotech G40-4W rocket motor on May 25th 2025. The mockup is made out of cardboard as well as the fins, and the nosecone is 3d printed. The test stand is made out of wood accompanied with a steel flame diverter.
