Team Alpha's Journey to Launch: Designing a TARC Rocket for Success

Team Alpha is on a mission to compete in the Team America Rocketry Challenge (TARC) by designing, building, and launching a rocket that can soar 750 feet while safely carrying an egg with a specially designed parachute. Our project scope outlines adherence to TARC guidelines, including weight limits and flight duration parameters. As we progress through the project, we've completed our design proposal and are currently constructing our prototype. We anticipate our first qualification flight by March 1st, while addressing potential barriers such as altitude control and egg safety during landing.

  2. Table of Contents • Problem Statement • Project Scope • Final Solution • How Things Stand • Potential Barriers • Conclusion

  3. Problem Statement 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.

  4. Project Scope • 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)

  5. Project Scope • Competition date: May 14th • Duration of project: 100+ hours • Resources • Calculus Textbook • Internet • Mrs. Brandner • Mr. Pritchard

  6. Project Scope • Approximate Budget: $500 • Entrance Fee: $105 • Useable Stores: • Online Web Stores • Hobby Lobby • Michael’s • Deliverables • Technical report • Engineering Notebook • PowerPoint • Prototype

  7. Final Solution

  8. Final Solution (egg capsule) Body Tube BalsaDonut Foam Padding Egg Nose Cone

  9. How things stand • Completion of Design Proposal • Purchased most of materials • Start of Construction Phase • Payload Section (Egg & Altimeter) • First qualification flight by 3/1

  10. Potential Barriers • Keeping altimeter secure • Meeting TARC guidelines • Launch Height • Flight Duration • Keeping egg safe during landing • Parachute deploying • Deadlines • Senioritis • Other Homework

  11. Conclusion • Constructing a rocket for TARC • Must follow TARC guidelines • In process of constructing rocket • Completed payload section • Next: Engine mount/Fins • Organizing first testing date
