UNC Charlotte Rocketry Team (NASA Student Launch) 2026-27

Donations will go primarily towards small components and electronics such as batteries, wires, and printing materials for our outreach events.

Venus Level donations will go towards 3D printing materials and buying small hardware such as nuts and bolts.

Earth Level donations will go towards buying more expensive electronics such as motors and actuators. These donations will also go towards supplies for our outreach events to make them more interactive and impactful for the audience. Examples include 3D printing modular rockets and a miniature wind tunnel so children will have a more hands on experience.

Donations from Mars Level sponsors will go towards buying the airframe of the rocket, including body tubes, couplers, and fiberglass.

Jupiter Level donations will go towards buying a wide variety of items including parachutes, shock cords and tools needed to make the rocket.

Saturn Level donations will allow us to buy components for our subscale rocket, which must be successfully launched for us to begin constructing the competition rocket.

Uranus level donations provide the team with transportation funds and miscellaneous components for our competition rocket.

Neptune Level donations fund all parts of the team, from rocket motors to hotels. These donations are what keeps the team going.
