Others Dare, We Do.
Pushing the boundaries of student rocketry through in-house engineering, rapid prototyping, and flight validation.
About Longshot Rocketry
Longshot Rocketry is a dedicated student engineering team operating out of Inholland Delft. Driven by our team motto, "Others dare, we do," we design, build, and fly sounding rocket hardware from the ground up.
Our primary goal is pushing the boundaries of student rocketry by replacing off-the-shelf components with custom-built flight computers, custom avionics suites, and student-engineered airframes.
Custom Avionics
In-house development of our proprietary ONG! flight computers.
Flight Validation
Rigorously testing hardware in the lab and on the launch field.
Flagship Projects
Our student-engineered flight hardware testing custom avionics, composite structures, and recovery systems.
