Boomslang

Boomslang is SRL’s first liquid rocket system to static fire. It is propelled by ethanol and nitrous oxide.

Originally meant to also be SRL’s first liquid flight vehicle, it was adapted into a pathfinder to give insight into future liquid propulsion systems.

Major components of the rocket were manufactured entirely by students, including the pintle injector, fuel/oxidizer tank, test stand, and oxidizer fill cart.
