About The Yellow Jacket Space Program @ Georgia Tech
The Yellow Jacket Space Program (YJSP) is a student-led organization founded in 2015 to bring advanced rocketry development to the Georgia Institute of Technology. The program has the goal of designing, building, and flying a liquid rocket past the 100km Karman line. Since our founding, we have conducted over 25 static fires and launched 3 successful vehicles. Felicette, our IPA-N2O spaceshot vehicle, is expected to launch this upcoming spring. Vespula, our Kerosene-LOX vehicle is expected to launch this winter with the goal of flying to +100k ft to become the highest-flown Kero-LOX vehicle at the collegiate level. The program has around 350 members, bringing together undergraduate and graduate students from a variety of disciplines, including Aerospace, Mechanical, Electrical, and Industrial Engineering, along with Computer Science and Business. The project is led by students and operates under the faculty advisement of the Daniel Guggenheim School of Aerospace Engineering.
