Booster 2
2022
Abstract
The design, manufacturing and launch of a payload-capable booster that must reach a minimum altitude of 100 meters, record flight telemetry data, and deploy payload at apogee. The booster must be recoverable and reusable to be re-armed and flown again within 1 hour of its first launch.
Project Details
This project requires an aerodynamically stable flight with sufficient thrust and power supply to be able to deploy a payload and a parachute for a safe landing. The motor and parachute must then be replaced to be launched again within an hour. The booster and payload must weigh no more than 1.5 kg combined, and only commercially available rocket engines types A through F may be used.
Project Objective
Design, manufacture and launch a booster
capable of launching a candrone payload within a budget of $1,250 by three students within one
semester.
Mission Needs
Launch a payload to altitude and then land safely back on the ground with the ability to be relaunched within 30 minutes.
