The HLA is a student-run 501(c)(3) not-for-profit company based at the Grove School of Engineering at the City College of New York. Its mission is to establish the neighborhood of Harlem and the City of New York in general as a center of collegiate experimental aerospace research through the novel design, manufacture, and full scale flight tests of student-built rockets and engines.
The HLA’s membership of student engineers and scientists in any given year is about 40, mostly from CCNY with small contingents from NYU and Columbia University. This year we have plans to branch out to Harlem high schools and incorporate interested students into the already existing design and manufacturing groups based at CCNY to gain learning opportunities in manufacturing skills and aerospace engineering.
Collegiate rocketry is a community of over a hundred schools across the US, Canada, Brazil, Europe and abroad that show off their skills at the annual Spaceport America Cup (SAC). On June 24th, 2017 the HLA became the first college group from NYC to launch a rocket of experimental design at the first annual SAC to an altitude of over 10,000 feet.
The HLA’s plans for the 2018-2019 project cycle include a hot fire ground test of the G-3 hybrid rocket engine and the Messenger-3 launch at the next Spaceport America Cup in June of 2019.
