the world’s premier undergraduate research group for experimental rocket technologies.. we are focused on pushing the state-of-the-art in rocket technology. armed with determination and the goal of putting a scratch-built rocket into space, uscrpl aims to successfully launch and recover the world's first entirely student-designed and -fabricated rocket past the karman line, the recognized boundary of space at 100 km (328,084 > not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that > goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and > skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, > one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win. at 1:52pm on saturday, november 21st, déjà vu took to the moja*e skies, soaring beautifully from the launch rail to reach apogee at just over 25,000 feet. déjà vu was rpl’s first successful launch and recovery since carbon coby three years ago. déjà vu, however, is flash forward three months, and déjà vu ii (also referred to as déjà two) is ready for launch, the second flight of the same vehicle. same nosecone, same fins, same motor, and same enthusiasm and dedication from the team. a rocket's simple exterior can make you forget how many different systems lie underneath the surface, and how vital they all are to a successful launch. one thing people often forget about rockets is that while it must endure thousands of pounds of pressure and temperatures that match a small star's, it must also be brought back home (hopefully, in one piece). the avionics and recovery teams are over the last year, activity at the usc rocket lab has been astronomical, and we’re not planning on slowing down any time soon! while we’re diving head first into the 2015 semester, we should take a moment to look back at our accomplishments over the last 12 months. from launching the year off with dcx, to solving our problem with multiple static firings of rubber ducky cases, to our final two
