Andrew Higgins Good thread. Thank you. My mental yardstick is that an RL10, a ‘small’ rocket engine about the size of an oil drum, is a quarter-gigawatt device. So, one hydroelectric dam is about 10x RL10s. It really puts into perspective the power density in rocketry.
Pending some final approvals, our Aerospace major will start in Fall 2025. We are busy developing the course details for this exciting new program at Michigan Tech . We are hiring 4 tenure track positions (open rank) and 1 instructional track faculty. Please join us for
