Project Aurora
Successful Level 3 Rocketry Certification Flight!!!!
16,750 ft
Mach 1.7
My most ambitious personal rocket yet, and while I paid for it with sleepless nights, it was totally worth it - what a flight!!!!
To my advisors who guided me throughout the entire project, my sister @annamiler22 and girlfriend @eleanor_.griffin55 who painted Aurora, @ben_soyka who created paint stencils, @ianc153 who provided a helping hand with motor assembly, @umnrocketteam who provided lab space and teammates who helped with launch and recovery ops, Tripoli Minnesota who organized the launch, friends who I missed time with working on this project, and to everyone else, thank you so much for the support!

Now onto even bigger endeavors 👀 taken in North Branch, Minnesota by @dmiler4212

IREC 2026 - What an absolute ride! From sleepless nights, launch cancellations, sandstorms, torrential downpours, record-breaking heat, and so, so much more, I couldn’t have spent it with a better team @umnrocketteam! Despite all the tribulations, we got our rocket, Astraeus, off our launch tower, reaching 30,600 ft! Can’t wait to run it back next year! 🚀🚀🚀 taken in Midland, Texas by @dmiler4212
