Highest-Ever Rocket by Amateurs (470,400 ft, Mach 5.5) | Aftershock II Launch

Aftershock II was the second successful space shot by USCRPL, reaching an apogee of 470,400 ft (143 km) and Mach 5.5. It broke the twenty-year-standing world record for the highest amateur rocket apogee and RPL’s own highest student rocket apogee world record. Designed, built, and launched from scratch by students at the University of Southern California, Aftershock II culminated from the club's 20 years of internal development.
