Design and Launch of a Chemical Hybrid Rocket for AYAA National Rocket Competition
This project aims to design and build a chemical hybrid rocket capable of reaching an apogee of 20,000 ft while incorporating an inbuilt recovery system. We will compete in the AYAA National Rocket Competition and apply learned skills to a practical endeavor. This initiative will serve as an effective final year project (FYP) and seeks to establish a lasting aerospace club at Monash, enhancing the profile of the Monash Aerospace Program. Updates include current progress, design refinements, and preparation for static thrust tests in accordance with CASA regulations.
