Michigan Aeronautical Science Association Fall 2006 Project Overview

The Michigan Aeronautical Science Association (MASA) Fall 2006 projects focused on advancing aeronautical engineering through innovative designs and technologies. Key projects included the Experimental Hybrid Rocket Motor, aimed at achieving a thrust of 50-100lbf while using safe, non-toxic propellants. The Vertical Trajectory System emphasized force measurement during flight and utilized a cold gas thruster for stabilization. Additional projects like the Introduction to Flight Vehicles trained members in rocket design and launch techniques. Collaborative efforts were funded by the Michigan Space Grant and MASA general funds.
