Atomic Aggies Launch Historic Two-Stage Rocket | El Paso News
Description
New Mexico State’s Atomic Aggies just blasted past expectations at the world’s biggest rocketry competition, launching their towering 18-foot Crimson Comet II — their first successful two-stage rocket in two years. Built entirely by students from scratch (minus the motors), this engineering marvel featured custom flight computers and a carbon-fiber airframe, earning them global acclaim as one of the largest rockets at the event. Their victory marks a triumphant return after a rocky streak and builds on past wins, including two Chile Cups. This isn’t just a win — it’s proof that grit, innovation, and student-led ambition can reach the stratosphere.
