About Us
The Society of Aeronautics and Rocketry (SOAR) at USF promotes engineering education and academic performance in a social environment through participation in projects and competitions dedicated to rocketry and aerospace technologies. SOAR provides an opportunity of students from all majors and fields to enhance their knowledge in research, engineering, and other tangential skills pertinent to the aerospace industry as well as the operation of a large organization.
As an organization, we seek to contribute to developing new and innovative systems that further human deep space exploration efforts. We view ourselves as a professional research organization that produces data and innovations relevant to the aerospace industry. In the mindset of a professional organization, we adhere to strict timelines, budget restrictions, management, teamwork, and fostering collaborations between the academic, commercial, and government space industries in mission technology design. As is necessary for a professional organization to effectively operate, SOAR utilizes the skills of members from numerous fields of study, from finance to engineering, to graphic arts, and everything in between.
