About the team

More than a club. Built like an engineering program.

New Horizon Engine Team is a student-led, self-funded, university-independent aerospace engineering group developing and testing a liquid bipropellant rocket engine. Our team focuses on hands-on, custom design across propulsion, electronics, controls, and software, with an emphasis on building real systems from the ground up.

Our work includes engine development, ground control software, system integration, and validation testing, all driven by practical engineering and constant iteration. As a non-profit effort, we also aim to spread aerospace knowledge, support open technical growth, and make real-world rocket engineering more accessible.

Propulsion

Liquid engine architecture, feed systems, and hardware development.

Electronics

Sensor interfaces, valve control, safety logic, and embedded systems.

Ground Control

Telemetry, command flow, and operator software for testing and operations.

Testing

System integration, validation, troubleshooting, and iterative design reviews.

Team

The people building
New Horizon

Support our mission

Fuel testing, hardware, and growth.

Sponsorship directly supports materials, electronics, fabrication, software, and the real testing required to move student-led aerospace forward.
