The Yellow Jacket Space Program, commonly referred to as YJSP, is a registered student organization at Georgia Tech dedicated to developing liquid-propellant rocket systems[1]. YJSP also has "an ambitious goal in mind: to be the first collegiate team to send a liquid-fuel vehicle past the Karman Line, the official edge of space".[2]
YJSP was found in 2015 and has grown to become an organization with over 200 members.
YJSP's launch of the GoldiLOX vehicle was prominently featured in a Georgia Tech advertisement that aired during football games.[1]
While YJSP focused on liquid-propellant rocket systems, another Georgia Tech club, namely the Ramblin' Rocket Club, focuses on the solid-propellant equivalent.[3]
