Projects
BSLI's LiquidRocketSystems is a collegiate rocketry organization with one goal, reaching the Kármán line, the edge of space. Through advanced research, testing, and precision manufacturing, our student engineers are building custom liquid rocket engines that push the limits of what any undergraduate team has achieved.
Prometheus
Built from the ground up by Ohio State students, Prometheus showcases the next frontier of collegiate aerospace engineering, a custom liquid rocket engine designed to push beyond Earth’s atmosphere and reach the Kármán line.

Prometheus represents the peak of BSLI’s liquid propulsion research at The Ohio State University. Designed and manufactured entirely by students, its design and precision machining push the limits of collegiate rocketry while laying the foundation for future high-performance vehicles.
Serenity
Serenity marked BSLI’s first successful step into liquid rocketry. As the team’s first hot-fired liquid-propellant engine, Serenity proved that our engineers could design, assemble, and operate a complete liquid propulsion system from the ground up.

Conducted at a remote test site, Serenity’s hot-fire validated months of design, fabrication, and systems integration work. The data and performance from that test confirmed the viability of BSLI’s liquid propulsion approach and laid the technical foundation for the fully custom, Prometheus engine that followed.
