3
The Team America Rocketry Challenge requires us to design, build, and fly a rocket that can carry an egg at least 750 feet into the air within the duration of 40 to 45 seconds and land it safely using a specifically sized parachute. PROBLEM STATEMENT
4
Adhere to TARC guidelines 750 Feet Launch Airborne for 40-45 seconds Safe Landing Rocket Weighs max 1000g Powered by motors with ≥ 62.5g of propellant each (No more than 125g combined) Parachute (15 in diameter) sole recovery device Egg weight between 57-63g (45 mm diameter) PROJECT SCOPE

6 Test Areas: Qualifications Functionality Safety Flight duration Altimeter Altitude TEST PROCEDURE
11
Check if rocket meets TARC Guidelines Single Stage rocket Approved Motor Engine Weight Parachute Altimeter Pass/Fail Result Fail= Does not meet guidelines TEST PROCEDURE- QUALIFICATIONS
12
Test rocket if operational Rocket can launch Recovery System Activates Weight Chamber Removable altimeter No parts fall off Pass/Fail Result Pass= All aspects function Fail= one or more aspects fail to function TEST PROCEDURE- FUNCTIONALITY
13
Randomly Dropping Egg Capsule 5 from balcony 5 from test flights Graded based on scale Any score above 2= fail TEST PROCEDURE- SAFETY
14
Launch rocket for air time Start stopwatch the moment rocket launches End when rocket touches the ground Average all trials Pass/fail criteria TEST PROCEDURE- FLIGHT DURATION Desired Range
15
Assessment of altimeter’s functionality Manually change air pressure Listen for a reading Pass= reports change in air pressure Fail= no report or no new report TEST PROCEDURE- ALTIMETER
16
Launch rocket for distance measure Collect altimeter readings Average all trials for final height Pass/fail criteria TEST PROCEDURE- ALTITUDE <700 Ft.<800 Ft. Desired Range
