1. Team Members Full Names Class Number and Name 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 may re-use PDR slides, updating them as need be – go through those quickly; spend more time on new stuff) (speak for 8-10 minutes – don’t go long, but if you are short add more content) (share the speaking time approximately equally, even if that means that not everyone does the same # of slides) (bring your rocket to show off, but don’t let it be distracting) (look at the posted oral presentation tips – follow them!)

2. Introduction
Re-introduce the rocket to your peers (i.e. people who know something about rockets and who heard your PDR already). Show a labeled diagram (at least) which is hand-drawn or taken from the instruction booklet and have your real rocket in hand too. Very briefly point out features that make your rocket different from the other rockets (i.e. read up a bit on the other kits too).

3. Parts List & Kit Modifications
Include a parts list (mostly for the record – you don’t need to take the time to read through the whole list, but perhaps point out the main/key parts).
Briefly point out modifications you made when you constructed the rocket, and why. Most teams made basically the same modifications, so you don’t need to dwell on these, though some kits did have their own special idiosyncrasies.

4. 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 plan. Discuss what remains to be done, if anything.
Show at least some constructions photos. If you had to deviate from the construction plan or came up with a unique way to build something, show us.
Talk about your paint job (or describe your painting plans if your rocket is not yet painted).
Note 1 – check-in time with a fully-flyable rocket, though possibly not yet fully painted, is 4 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 6 – make an appointment
Note 2 – no more painting beyond midnight on Thurs., Oct. 6 – the paint needs at least 1 full day to dry before the launch on Sat., Oct. 8.

5. Instrumentation
Talk about the instrumentation you will have on-board during the flight, why we are flying it, and where the items will be mounted in the rocket.
Altimeter Two (see documentation posted at this website)
Radio beeper (here is where those came from)
Personal audio siren

6. Flight Trajectory Predictions (might be multiple slides)
Use OpenRocket to simulate what will happen if the rocket flies under various wind conditions with an AeroTech I140W motor. Identify key parameters of the flight like apogee height, downrange landing distance, etc, for 2-3 mph winds (light) and mph wind (modest) at least. Include at least one screenshot of a graph from OpenRocket.
The manufacturer delay time for this motor is 14 seconds, measured after motor burnout. Talk about whether or not you want to use that value or grind down the delay charge to make the 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 careful in drawing conclusions here.

7. Team Management
Draw an organizational chart (“Org chart” – look up what one looks like; this is a figure, not a list – fix your PDR slide if it wasn’t right). 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. Think all the way through the rocket build – for example, by now at least one person should be assigned as your OpenRocket (computer simulation) “guru.”
