Team Members (Full Names) Institution Date Team Name Flight Readiness Review > this is a bare-bones template – reorder the slides and/or make it fancier if you wish, but be sure to address at least the items listed here > you won’t go through this all orally but having this written down will give us a starting point for our end-of-project safety check with your team > at that discussion, have your finished rocket ready to show off, and be ready to answer questions about it, about your slides, about safety, etc. Replace the instructional text above with a photo of your team with your rocket. Team Members (Full Names) Institution Date

Introduction and Diagram Write a short statement to introduce your rocket to people who know something about high-power rocketry. Include at least one diagram from OpenRocket on which you have explicitly labeled all the parts.

Parts List & Kit Modifications Include a parts list (for the record – we probably won’t talk through this, unless you have added custom parts)

Construction Timeline & Photos Explain the order in which the construction proceeded and the dates you completed major milestones. In particular, comment on how the actual build timeline compared to your original schedule. Discuss what remains to be done before flight, if anything. Show construction photos, especially of things (like the motor mount assembly) which are no longer visible. (Don’t forget to take those photos as you go along!) If you had to deviate from the construction plan or came up with a unique way to build something, mention it. Talk about your planned paint job (assuming your rocket is not yet painted but that you plan to paint it).

Instrumentation Talk about the instrumentation you will have on-board during the flight, why you are flying it, and where the items will be mounted in the rocket. Altimeter Three (see documentation posted at this website) https://www.jollylogic.com/products/altimeterthree/ Raven3 altimeter (see documentation posted at this website) https://www.featherweightaltimeters.com/raven-altimeter.html Radio beeper (here is where those came from) http://www.com-spec.com/rcplane/index.html Mobius action camera https://www.mobius-actioncam.com/

Flight Trajectory Predictions (might be multiple slides) Use OpenRocket to simulate what will happen if the rocket flies under various wind conditions with a “Cesaroni I-170 Classic” motor. (for motor performance details, see http://www.thrustcurve.org/motorsearch.jsp?id=178) Identify key parameters of the flight like apogee height, downrange landing distance, etc, for 2-3 mph winds (light) and 10-12 mph wind (modest) at least. Include at least one screenshot of a graph from OpenRocket showing altitude, velocity, and acceleration (at least). The manufacturer delay time for this motor is 14 seconds, measured after motor burnout. Talk about whether or not you want to stick to that value or grind down the delay grain to make this delay time shorter. If so, how much shorter and why?* * Beware: Delay time is defined to be “how long after motor burnout” NOT “how long after launch” so be very careful in drawing conclusions here.

Team Management Draw an organizational chart (“Org chart” – look up what one looks like; this is a graphic, not just a text list). Who is the “team lead” (AKA the “team contact”)? Who is responsible for what? Share the duties – you don’t need all team members to do everything. Include duties all the way through the rocket build and the flight (and even post-flight data analysis, if planned). For example, who is your OpenRocket (computer simulation) guru?
