We Build Rockets
Welcome to the home of the MRT.
Fostering the Next Generation of Rocketeers
Our diverse team of students designs, manufactures, and launches sounding rockets every year at amateur rocketry competitions to fulfill our mission of fostering the next generation of industry leaders. Working with the team allows our members to apply the engineering knowledge taught at McGill University in real-world applications and helps them build the soft skills essential to their future professional lives. Being a part of the McGill Rocket Team is unforgettable, from the thrills of a rocket launch to the strong friendships forged through shared experiences.

Meet Our New Orbital CubeSat (OCS) Division
The McGill Rocket Team is starting its CubeSat division as a continuation of its Orbital CubeSat R&D project! We're diving into space missions by developing our own nanosatellite and ground station.
This new division operates separately from the rocket division, but members will work closely to share knowledge. New members can join any of our six rocket subteams or any of the five OCS projects!
