Propulsive Landers
@ Georgia Tech

Redefining the realms of what is possible.

Our Mission

Propulsive Landers @ Georgia Tech (GTPL) is a student-led team at the Georgia Institute of Technology working to develop autonomous systems that power a self-landing rocket. Our mission is to become the first student team in the world to achieve vertical take-off, and landing of a hybrid rocket.
