Ranger 1

Our Lander Challenge contender—and our debut into the world of controlled flight.

Details


Ranger 1 is a low-altitude "hopper" vehicle that will compete in the Collegiate Lander Challenge.

Built with a mindset of rapid test and iteration, Ranger 1 will qualify our flight hardware, acquire crucial control data, and provide us with invaluable experience as we strive to be collegiate leaders in controlled flight.

Conceptualized in October 2025, Ranger 1 is already built and undergoing cold flow testing.
