During the 2022-2023 academic year, 156 teams from around the world participated in the Spaceport America Cup for the competition’s 16th competition year. West Virginia University’s Experimental Rocketry Team participated in the 10,000-foot Student Research and Developed (SRAD) Solid Fueled category and introduced the club’s first iteration of fiberglass composite wound tubes with the use of an X-Winder sponsored by Material and CADWind. This achievement marked the team’s first steps towards being almost completely SRAD.
