  1. Explorer Post 1010 Team 8186 Research Presentation Ben Fann, Mattie Bryant, Disa Yu, Kathleen Yu Samantha Steckel, Becca Foster, Jon Boruch

  2. Design and Construction Process We used RockSim to aid in the design process BT80 body tube We designed our own fins We used tools such as drills, glue, and a Dremel to build the rocket We used a PNC-80k nose cone We used a F24-4W motor We used a 70” x 7” streamer on the cargo unit and nose cone During the design process, we considered cost and availability of materials

  3. Teamwork We all contributed to the design, development and test launching of the rocket Jon constructed the body tube The construction of the egg compartment was mainly done by Disa, Ben, and Mattie The streamers were shaped and ironed by Samantha and Becca Disa and Kathleen worked on the fins

  4. Flight Testing Process • Fin Design • Cargo section weight • Streamers entangled • Used every launchopportunity • Record and analyze performance • Used video and altimeter data • Modifications as needed

  5. Lessons Learned A weight concentration towards the center of the rocket will cause it to descend with a horizontal tilt, increasing flight time Design and development time Altitude inconsistency may be controlled by adjusting rocket’s mass
