LIQUID ROCKETRY
at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Welcome
to LRI
Here at the Liquid Rocketry @ Illinois, we are building the future. By developing rocket test infrastructure, we will provide the University of Illinois community with the means to develop advanced rocket engines. What you see below is actual hardware designed in house at UIUC. We strive to be the first collegiate team to ever reach space with liquid-fueled rockets!
Current Projects
Echo
Echo is LRI’s third student researched and designed rocket engine and comes with many updates on Grunt. Active regen cooling allows our engine to run for longer burn times. Its adaptability in using pressure fed or pump fed fuel means our team can iterate on the pump without building a new engine. Echo teaches our team how to run longer test fires and actively control a rocket engine. Through Echo, we gain the experience necessary to design a liquid powered rocket engine for a flight vehicle.
