The AutoSat Program contains all of SHC's autonomous sattelite and satellite-analogue systems. The program contains multiple innovative, mission-focused competitive teams designing solutions for various challenges, from international CanSat competitions to the University Rover Challenge. AutoSat also holds all of SHC's space-bound payloads, such as the TERMINUS project.

The BalloonSat Program of the Space Hardware Club has launched over 150 high altitude balloons since 2006. BalloonSat payloads perform a wide variety of research projects, from cutting edge atmospheric science research to active stabilization and even solar eclipse research!

SHC's Rocketry Program has a 10-year history in solid-rocket-propelled vehicles and is working on a new branch of liquid-rocket-propelled vehicles. Students also can get engine certification, learn how to create resin shells, and help research and design for a new multistage rocket. Students in the Rocketry Program work with propulsion, vehicle design, ground support, and avionics, while experiencing industry-driven safety design practices.

SHC's Outreach Program has been an active member of the Huntsville community since it was founded. Outreach is a student initiative to introduce STEM with hands-on activities for K-12 students, college students, and adults alike.

Two-Month is SHC's introductory program, where participants work in small teams to design, build, and fly (or drive) payloads! Participating in Two-Month provides valuable skills and insight in hardware, software, and team dynamics to prospective SHC members. The program provides a variety of challenges to choose from, each scaled-down from an existing club project to go through the full engineering cycle in just two months!
