We are the Student Space Technology Association

We are a student group at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville dedicated to the design, construction, and flight of rockets. We were founded in 2015 with a goal to push the envelope of collegiate rocketry with minimal cost to students. This vision has been made possible by departmental support and sponsors as we now start development for a space-shot vehicle launching in 2026.
