Tribal Design Objective n n n Design, construct and launch a high power rocket equipped with a video camera(s) Create a montage of videos and pictures during prep, flight, and recovery. Maximum length 60 seconds. Use a motor ejection charge feature, including an altimeter. The rocket must exceed 2400 feet and no higher than 3000 feet (max) above ground level (AGL). Use one (1) Aero. Tech reloadable/disposable 38 mm motor no larger than a J impulse. See Competition Handbook p. 9 for Payload/Experiment Requirements

Powered Flight Profile

AISES Design Objectives n n n Design a microcontroller system to capture at least three (3) unique reportable captured data during flight. Use the ejection charge feature, including altimeter(s) The rocket must exceed 3000 feet and be no higher than 5000 feet (max) above ground level (AGL). n Use one disposable 54 mm Aerotech J 450 DM or K 550 W reloadable motor n See Competition Handbook p. 9 for Payload/Experiment Requirements

Powered Flight Profile

Competition Summary n n n All projects will be judged on the design reviews (written and oral), the oral presentations, the predicted vs. actual apogee, and the flight. Bonus points may be earned through outreach efforts. Electronic payload bays will be judged on neatness and Example Only simplicity.

Parameter Guidelines (All Teams) • All projects during the construction process must have a minimum of two (2) scheduled virtual inspections with the designated safety officer (TBA). • All projects must be 90% constructed and ready to fly two (2) weeks prior to launch day. 90% = Airframe, motor mount, fins, payload airframe, couplers, bulkheads, should be permanently attached as designed. • All projects must be designed to enable the motor deployment charge as a back-up recovery system at apogee. • All final competition projects must have a documented flight/stable simulation profile (I. E. Rock. Sim, Open Rocket, etc. ). • Photographs are required during the construction of the motor mount and fin fillet assembly process to ensure proper construction techniques has been adhered. • All projects must have an aero-dynamic design. No odd rocs. Note: No flying pyramids, saucers or spools. • The “Center of Pressure” (CP) and the “Center of Gravity” (CG) must be indicated on rocket. 15
