History
Despite only having existed for around a year, Ignitors Rocketry has already designed and built one launch vehicle and is in the process of designing more. Our designs put emphasis on the technology inside, as well as the COTS hybrid motors we utilize. Furthermore, our aim is to innovate with the techniques we use to accomplish our design goals. Each of our designs goes through a reasonably intensive testing process to ensure the rockets are durable, safe, and, of course functional.

Rendering Coming Soon
Thunderbolt, along with its experimental payload "IONIZER" is the second vehicle being designed and built by Ignitors Rocketry. This new design aims to expand on the things that Fire In The Hole did well while also adjusting the things that it did not.
Fire In The Hole
| Design Team: | IGNITORS I (2025-2026) |
|---|---|
| Number of Flights: | N/A |
| Maximum Altitude Achieved: | N/A |
| Length: | 9.25 Feet |
|---|---|
| Weight: | 35.3 lbs |
| Propulsion: | Contrail M711 |
Fire In The Hole was the very first launch vehicle designed and built by Ignitors Rocketry. The vehicle was fully designed and built in under 5 months for the 2025 IREC, and as such, it was rather rough around the edges. Despite challenges, the rocket made it to the launch pad in the end. It featured a contrail M711 hybrid motor and a fully SRAD tracking and telemetry solution, and today serves as both a valuable lesson and also a strong baseline.
