Cyclone Rocketry 2024 Fundraiser Needs Your Support!

May 07, 2024

Thank you for your support of our 2023 fundraising campaign! We couldn't have done it without you.

Our 2024 campaign is nearly complete - we need your help to reach our goal again this year! Only three days are left!

Every year we design, build, and fly high-powered rockets for international competition. For as little as $10, you can aid Cyclone Rocketry in our mission to provide extraordinary hands-on engineering experience to Iowa State students. Funds raised will support manufacturing costs, competition fees, and travel. We are offering donor benefits this year, including a personalized thank-you letter, your name on the rocket fin, and your name on a workspace plaque.

Check out the 2024 project at https://fundisu.foundation.iastate.edu/CyRocket24.

Thank you! To the Cup!

Campaign conclusion: Thank you for your support!

April 14, 2023

Our campaign will be ending today at 6pm. Thanks to all of your generous contributions, we have exceeded our funding goal of $10,000! The projects we work on and experiences we offer to ISU students would not be possible without your support. 


This year's project, Intrepid, is progressing well with the recent completion of all metals manufacturing which includes our bulkheads, avionics mounting brackets, and fin edges. Composites manufacturing is also finishing up with the completion of our filament wound body tubes and two of our couplers.

We are currently working on integrating all parts of the rocket which we hope to have completed by the end of the month. Preparations are also being made for the final launch of our test vehicle this year. This launch will feature our piston ejection system, parachute reefing system, and airbrakes.
