CR is the branch focused on the design of rockets. As the main high-power rocketry branch of AIAA UTD, members participate in the development of large, high-impulse rockets for individual certifications or international competitions. This branch serves as an opportunity for those with or without experience in high-power rocketry to foster a foundation for competitive rocket design at UTD. CR's L1 program is divided into multiple small teams working on separate L1 certifications. Successfully certified teams are then permitted to join the competition program. CR's competition program is a large, interdisciplinary team representing UTD at Spaceport America Cup. The team is further divided into the Simulation, Structures, Avionics, Payload, and Propulsion teams.
