Stratos II
Launch Site
Mojave Dessert (FAR), California
Development Site
Purdue University
Role
Stratos Missions Responsible Engineer
Stratos II was my first stab at a leadership position in a collegiate organization. Coming off my Fall 2024 Co-op rotation with DuPont, I was given the opportunity to lead the 2nd Stratos mission, following in the footsteps of our failed launch the year prior.
Stratos II launched to 39,000 ft with a top speed of Mach 2.7, becoming the fastest and highest rocket launched by Purdue Orbital to date!
