Anoka-Ramsey high-power rocketry team readies for launch

Five Anoka-Ramsey students are taking their engineering interests to new heights.

The members of the college’s High-Power Rocketry Team will join teams from colleges and universities across the Midwest at the 2024-2025 Space Grant Midwest High-Power Rocket Competition and Challenge.

Spectators are welcome. Learn more.

The event is sponsored by NASA’s Minnesota Space Grant Consortium. Anoka-Ramsey’s team will join five other schools in the Rocketry Challenge.
High-powered rockets differ from common model rockets in both size and power. Because of these differences, the launch of high-powered rockets is regulated by organizations like the Federal Aviation Administration.

Anoka-Ramsey’s team worked through numerous aspects of design and development, creating plans, developing and running flight simulations and, ultimately, building their rocket. Prior to a scheduled launch, the team will present their rocket to challenge officials for review and safety checks.
