We are high school students pursuing rocketry, STEM and interdisciplinary
In year 2023-2024, we designed and built 9 rockets, performed 51 successful launches, and participated ARC 2024 Challenge!

Our model rocketry design is aimed to achieve the precise combination of airframe design, rocket engines, and duration-control technique with one or more parachutes that will reach exactly the 820 feet within 43 to 46 seconds and bring back the one carried egg in no harm.

Our model rocketry design is aimed to achieve the precise combination of airframe design, rocket engines, and duration-control technique with one or more parachutes that will reach exactly the 820 feet within 43 to 46 seconds and bring back the one carried egg in no harm.
●
Our design and build will require either lots of trial-and-error, or smart use of a rocket-design and flight-simulation computer program to get the design “roughly right” first.
●
What variables in design and build matter?
- Size and shape of the rocket
- Rocket motor
- Launch rail angle
- Parachute and cushion to project the return object
- Flight duration prediction under different weather conditions
