Simulate
Participants will design and simulate a series of rocket designs that come to their mind with software such as OpenRocket.
Participants will design and simulate a series of rocket designs that come to their mind with software such as OpenRocket.
Validate CG/CP, stability margins, and ensure your design is flight-ready.
Once the participants have gotten a valid design from their simulation, they can then proceed to design the layout using CAD. This is a full mock-up of the rocket, from fins all the way to the nose cone.
After designing, the participants will submit their design alongside with a BOM for review, the review will ensure that the rocket design can be produced and flown safely before a grant is issued. Review includes checking stability margin, recovery method .etc
Construct rocket using approved materials and methods. The process will need to be logged using lapse or any other platform to share a timelapse video.
The fun stage! Launch at a NAR approved local rocketry club, collect data, and iterate on your design.
Tier 1: Basic rocket + stable flight
Tier 2: Rocket + Flight computer (data logging)
Tier 3: Control (altitude / stabilisation)
Tier 4: JrHPP L1 certification pathway
Grant: Around 4.50 USD per hour of time spent designing
Merch: 10 ticket per hour spent building
Participation Incentives:For all new participants who log at least one hour, a sticker pack will automatically be sent to them.
Goal: Stable flight using active fin stabilisation
