The Friends of Amateur Rocketry annually hosts the Oxidizers Uninhibited Tournament just outside of Randsburg, California. This competition is intended to provide hybrid and liquid collegiate rocketry teams with the best tailored launch operations to get as many rockets in the air as safely as possible.

Additionally, FAR-OUT includes a conference component centered around bringing together a diverse set of teams from around the world to support each other’s flights and inspire each other to dream bigger and work harder to create more innovative and creative rocket system designs.

NASA (National Aeronautics & Space Administration) annually hosts the Lunabotics Challenge at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. This competition provides collegiate engineering teams with the opportunity to design and manufacture an autonomous or remote-controlled lunar rover.

Each year, teams are given a unique task for their rover to achieve based in realistically simulated lunar surface environments. 

Texas A&M University annually hosts the University Consortium for Applied Hypersonics — a network of international universities working collaboratively to deliver the innovation and workforce needed to advance modern hypersonic flight systems in support of national defense.

The 2025 UCAH Design Competition is focused on an unpowered, high lift-to-drag, hypersonic projectile for low altitude operation. The winning concept will be eligible for ground-based gun-launched flight experiments with the Army Research Laboratory and/or wind tunnel tests within the 48-inch LENS Tunnel at CUBRC.
