ANU Rocketry is a student-led Australian National University team developing high-powered rockets and liquid propulsion. Its engineering divisions cover propulsion, aerostructures, avionics, recovery, dynamics and control, and payloads. The team won the 2026 Australian Universities Rocket Competition overall and its 10,000-foot propulsion category at White Cliffs, New South Wales, with Project Tempest reaching 9,380 ft. It was ANU’s second appearance and first overall title. Its payload work includes a laser-based airspeed sensor that uses water-vapour absorption to measure airflow.
