The McGill '''''Rocket Team''''' is an EUS Design Team that aims to develop a McGill Club that engages Canadian aerospace community by providing students with practical experience in competitive the development of rocket buildingtechnologies and by promoting the Canadian aerospace industry. The club is associated with and receives funds from EUSIn practice, but is also open to accepting this means that members from all faculties, with any level of experience. The the team usually builds two build sounding rockets each year, a basic model and an advanced modelfor various student rocketry competitions. The team competes in national and international competitions, most notably main competition has been the Intercollegiate Rocket Engineering Competition (IREC) during , but as of 2018, the team entered the [http://base11spacechallenge.org/ Base11 Space Challenge] , and is planning to compete in the first [http://www.launchcanada.org/ Launch Canada] competition in summer2020. The team is quite large, currently at about founded in 2014, has since grown from 20 members to 140 members. , and is among the biggest design teams

McGill Rocket Team is split into seven five sub-teams. The sub-teams include Aerodynamics: Aerostructures, StructuresAvionics, Payload, Propulsion, Avionicsand Management. Each sub-team operates as a semi-autonomous entity, Business and Multimediawith project requirements set by team leadership at the beginning of the design cycle. ===AerodynamicsAerostructures ===The aerodynamics team Aerostructures is responsible for designing and building the external shape airframe and internal structure of the rocketrockets. The team performs aerodynamic analysis on the airframe, which involves geometric reasoning in order and load analysis on the internal structures to reduce drag as much as possibleensure weight is minimized while still meeting each subsystem's requirements. Structures involved in The team has developed its composites manufacturing techniques, making the exterior whole airframe out of the rocket include the nose cone, body tube, boat tail carbon fiber and finsfiberglass manufactured in house. Additionally, the team Aerostructures is responsible for researching and choosing materials that will be used to construct the external structures of the rocketrecovery apparatus (parachutes, shock cords, as well as determining etc.) and its integration with the assembly of these materials and structuresinternal structure. ===StructuresAvionics ===The structures team is responsible Avionics designs a wide array of electrical systems on the rocket and the ground, including but not limited to: rocket telemetry, recovery sequence circuits, and ground communications. Avionics also collaborates heavily with Aerostructures for the design and construction of the mechanisms behind avionics bay for the internal components of main electronics. The Avionics team converts the rocket. These mechanisms include the ejection chargesfrom a ballistic composite dart to a safe, parachute deploymentrecoverable, and re-usable payload ejection, and decouplingdelivery system (depending on how well we do our job). The team conducts research on plausible internal designs as well as materials and construction of builds its own integrated circuits, and integrates off-the desired -shelf components. Finally, with the team is involved in construction, where all internal structure components are ideally built locally, assembled, and installedcircuits. 

The payload team Payload is responsible for tasked with designing and building a specific component to the rocket payload that will carry out some function following an experiment during rocket deploymentflight, at apogee, or during descent. The team utilizes mathematical modeling and computer-aided design (CAD) to later produce and test In general, experiments leverage either the intense accelerations induced by the rocket motor, the apogee the payloadrocket reaches, which can be scientific or technical the time it spends in naturethe lower atmosphere after parachute deployment. The Experiments only have hard weight constraints, with more flexible dimension constraints, and the purpose of the experiment is up to each year's payload executes team to decide: for example, the ultimate goal 2017-2018 payloads were an atmospheric bacterial sampling experiment and an experiment investigating the effects of the rocket launchinghigh acceleration on small-scale brain models.

The propulsion team is responsible for everything related to our Propulsion focuses on rocket motor engine systems. Currently, we are working on a Hybrid Motor, a Rotating Detonation Engine, Thrust Vectoring, and Nozzle designthe related infrastructure. The For IREC, Propulsion Team also selects appropriate purchasable suitable solid rocket motors for our smaller rocketfrom known retailers by performing flight simulations.===Avionics===The Avionics subteam is responsible for a wide array of electrical systems For other types of engines, Propulsion designs and tests individual components and performs the rocket, including but not limited appropriate analysis to: decoupling detonation circuits, communications, predict and understand engine performance. Since rocket telemetry. Avionics engine design is risky business, Propulsion also responsible for the design of the compartments in which the electronics are situated, which include the avionics bay for the main electronics, creates the infrastructure surrounding any engine ignition bay for ignition electronics, the pitot tube bay, and the decoupler bay. These compartments are designed in coordination with the Internal Structures and Aerodynamics subteams. The Avionics team converts the rocket from a ballistic tube to an electric tube that flies safely (depending on how well we do our job)test through systematic risk analysis.===BusinessManagement===The business team Management is responsible for maintaining the financial oversight operation and logistics of the construction of the rocketsteam operation. This includes organizing events, which involves forecasting an estimate of the budget needed to complete managing the projects and preparing a list of potential companies and organizations to be approached for potential sponsorship.===Multimedia===The multimedia team is responsible for the management of all 's social media outlets for Rocket Team, team photography and videographycontacting sponsors, website design and managing, team graphic design, and designing/ordering team merchandiseplanning outreach efforts.
