We are Queen’s Propulsion Laboratory, the largest student rocketry team in Northern Ireland. Through rocketry, robotics and propulsion we are preparing students for a career in the space industry.
QPL is your home for space at Queen’s University Belfast!
Propulsion
Meet Kelvin: the first liquid rocket engine developed and fired by a team from the island of Ireland.
Robotics
Our robotics have been tested to their limits using the finest facilities available on Earth.
Next stop: Mars.
Rocketry
Banshee is QPL’s fastest and most powerful launch vehicle to date, built to fly to over 2000 m and return safely to Earth.
Since 2023, QPL has been enabling students at Queen’s University Belfast to fulfil their dreams of one day having a career in the growing space industry.
QPL is more than just a student rocketry team, we are a source of information and guidance, a platform for giving students a voice and above all, an outlet for students’ passion about all things space.
