HLA - Engineering & Operations

Above the Curve, Below the Radar
Roots of HLA - Engineering & Operations

Harlem Launch Alliance's engineering & operations departments can trace their roots back to 2010 with the founding of the CCNY Aerospace Club.​ Originally, the club participated in the Cansat Competition until being integrated into the HLA.

HLA - Engineering & Operations past and presently pulls together students from the CCNY chapters of IEEE, ASME, the CCNY Physics Club and the former Planetary & Rocket Science Group. The "A" in "HLA" truly does stand for ​Alliance.

Design Philosophy

​An engineering departments design philosophy is partly decided by the people involved, and partly by circumstance.

Like mostly all amateur collegiate rocketry, the process is fundamentally experimental and hands-on. The same group of people designs, builds and tests equipment.

CCNY engineering organizations have always prided themselves on doing all the manufacturing work themselves. If someone can learn a manufacturing process needed by the department, we'll always favor that over having a third party make it for us.

All equipment fielded by the HLA is Made in Harlem.
