Ithaca is a low-cost, ultra-lightweight rocket that aims to approach an apogee of 10,000 ft while only using a low-power (G-class impulse) solid rocket motor.
By utilizing additive manufacturing and, more specifically, active foaming filament technology, Ithaca is able to achieve material densities below that of commercially
available kraft paper commonly used in model rockets. With the combination of a modest impulse from its Aerotech G12ST-P rocket motor and extremely low weight,
Ithaca provides a simple, economical platform for rocket enthusiasts to reach high altitudes without the need for a Level 1 certification.

Rhodes is a low-cost rocket that aims to travel at supersonic speeds while only using a low-power (G-class impulse) solid rocket motor.
The rocket blends various manufacturing and procurement methods to ensure reliability; its body tube is made of commercially available "blue tube", while featuring
a nose cone additively manufactured with acrylonitrile styrene acrylate (ASA) filament and fins made from laser-cut plywood.

Vader is a low-cost rocket that aims to travel at supersonic speeds while only using a low-power (G-class impulse) solid rocket motor.
The rocket is fully additively manufactured with acrylonitrile styrene acrylate (ASA) filament, offering improved specific strength compared to traditional
polylactic acid (PLA) filament. Its nose cone features an unorthodox length to diameter ratio, allowing wave drag to be reduced at supersonic speeds due to its extended length.
