MISSION OBJECTIVES
OUTREACH

Our Outreach team is dedicated to inspiring the next generation of engineers and scientists. We engage with local schools, organize workshops, and participate in community events to share our passion for space exploration and engineering. Through these initiatives, we aim to promote STEM education and create opportunities for hands-on learning experiences.

DESIGN

We focus on innovative solutions to traverse HERC's obstacle course, which changes annually. This involves everything from initial concept sketches to technical documentation for both mechanical and electrical systems, pushing the boundary of what's been done in space exploration vehicle design.
