About us
Grosse Pointe North Rocketry Club is a project and sister club of GPN Chem Club founded during the 2016-17 school year. Members perform several launches to win a spot in the annual Team America Rocketry Challenge, which is hosted in Washington, D.C. Each year, rules for the rocket, launch time, and launch distance change, so members need to adjust their rockets accordingly.
