We design, test, and launch innovative model rockets while training a diverse community of builders in avionics, structures, propulsion, and flight systems. Our first project: a propulsively landing rocket without a parachute!
We are the University of Toronto Student Team for Amateur Rocketry (UofT STAR / UTSTAR). Our mission is to design, test, and launch innovative model rockets while training a diverse community of builders in avionics, structures, propulsion, and flight systems.
UofT STAR is the only rocketry team run by students of the Faculty of Arts & Science (FAS). Our vision is to become the go‑to rocketry team for FAS students and, eventually, the wider university. Students who want hands‑on experience in CAD and solid modeling, fluid dynamics, propulsion, and avionics will find our team a great fit—without compromising academic commitments.

Our development process follows industry standards:
Design Reviews: SRR → PDR → CDR → FRR
We recruit each Fall and ad‑hoc when roles open. No prior rocketry experience is required — bring curiosity and commitment. We emphasize documentation, mentorship, and safe engineering practices.
Ready to join the next generation of aerospace talent? We welcome students from all disciplines who share our passion for rocketry and space technology.
