Problem Statement Our group is participating in the Team America Rocketry Challenge in which we must design, build, and launch a rocket carrying an egg. The rocket must reach an altitude of 750 feet with a flight time between 40-45 seconds without causing harm to the egg.
Background Forces used in equations Maximum velocity Burn time Descent speed Boost phase Coast phase Wind resistance
Background • Parts of a model rocket
Scope Statement • Purpose • Customers • Mrs. Brandner • Mr. Pritchard • Materials • Criteria and Constraints • Scheduling Conflicts • Track schedule
Deliverables • Rocket • PowerPoint • Technical Report • Testing Results • Engineering Notebook
Research (continued) • Fin shape • Trapezoidal (most common) • Elliptical • RockSim • Design • Testing
Criteria & Constraints • Target altitude – 750 ft. • Flight time between 40-45 seconds • <1000 grams (2.2 pounds) • One stage engines • Commercially-made engines listed in handbook • ≤62.5 grams of propellant
Criteria & Constraints (continued) • No pyrotechnic charge other than engine instructions permit • Parachute only recovery system for egg and altimeter • Parachute must be 15 (+/-1) inches in diameter • Not commercially-made kits
Explore Possibilities • Possible body tubes • Blue Tube • Quantum Tube • Group member sketches
