Georgia Tech Experimental Rocketry is a student-led branch of the Ramblin' Rocket Club at Georgia Tech, based in Atlanta, Georgia. The team designs and builds high-performance two-stage rockets powered by solid propellant, incorporating complex internal components, aerostructures, and onboard flight systems. Operating within the aviation and aerospace component manufacturing sector, GTXR provides Georgia Tech students with hands-on involvement in the design, analysis, manufacturing, and testing of systems used in large collegiate rockets. The organization notes that participation offers practical experience intended to prepare students for industry work and professional development. The project intends to become the first collegiate program to reach the Karman Line with a two-stage solid-propellant rocket, and its rockets have been launched regularly in annual programs.
