NASA University Student Launch Initiative: Preliminary Design Review of Rocket Vehicle

The University of Nebraska–Lincoln team presents a preliminary design review for a launch vehicle aimed at achieving an altitude of 5,280 feet while employing a dual-deployment recovery system. This mission includes deploying a payload at 1,500 feet and ensuring that all components are recoverable for relaunch. Key elements include stability, flight simulation, vehicle safety, and advanced recovery systems utilizing avionics such as the Perfectflite StrattoLogger and Raven altimeters. The project emphasizes hands-on engineering experience and collaboration through outreach events.
