Daytona Beach Icarus Sounding Rocket Program

The Icarus Sounding Rocket Program (ISRP) aims to establish a sustainable student-led sounding rocket program at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University that provides affordable access to space while giving members hands-on engineering and manufacturing experience.

Our flagship mission, Project Karman, seeks to set a record for collegiate rocketry by launching a student-built rocket to suborbital altitudes. The mission will carry a student-designed payload and recover the rocket in its entirety so it can be reused for future launches.

ISRP is seeking $2,500 to support the travel and lodging costs for 20 student team members traveling to California, the only location in the United States where we can launch this mission. The rocket is nearly complete, and securing travel funding is the final major step needed to make this launch possible.
