	The Rockets team is a student-led group striving to push the limits of high power rocketry. The team's long-term goal is a shot to the 100-km Karman Line, which forms the common definition of space. Along the way, the Rockets team competes regularly in the [[Intercollegiate Rocketry Engineering Competition\|Intercollegiate Rocketry Engineering Competition (IREC)]], the [https://friendsofamateurrocketry.org/ Friends of Amateur Rocketry (FAR) 51025 Competition], and the [https://landerchallenge.space/details Collegiate Propulsive Lander Challenge (CPLC)].

	The active team projects are Fountain Hopper and Phoenix. Fountain Hopper is a lander rocket project competing in the CPLC. In Fall 2023, the project will begin custom hybrid engine development and will prototype an electric ducted fan for simulating a full scale lander vehicle aimed for launch within three years. Phoenix is a two-stage rocket project that competed in the FAR 51025 fully equipped with redundant avionics, dual recovery on both stages, and a traveling rover. In Fall 2023, Phoenix will be a two-stage rocket project competing in the 2024 Spaceport America Cup IREC.		The active team projects are '''Fountain Hopper''' and '''Phoenix'''.

	A high powered rocket is defined as a rocket that weighs more than 1500 grams and contains a motor or motors containing more than 125 grams of propellant and/or rated at more than 160 Newton-seconds of total impulse. There are different classifications for motors and different levels of certification required to use these motors. These rockets fall in the Class 2 Rocketry category as long as their total impulse remains below 41,000 Ns. Class 3 rockets require motors that cannot be bought commercially (and are classified as [[ITAR#Defense articles \|ITAR defense articles]]).

	The Rockets team is a student-led group striving to push the limits of high power rocketry. ~~Our goals are to design and build technically interesting rocket and to provide hands-on experience with rocketry to interested Stanford students.~~		The Rockets team is a student-led group striving to push the limits of high power rocketry. The team is currently working Project Daedalus, creating and testing novel systems for an eventual larger-scale rocket project. Project Daedalus. [[Project Daedalus]] is a suite of four rockets: [[Talos]] is a launch vehicle for [[Kythera]], [[Charybdis]] is testing out passive ascent stabilization with canted fins, [[Prometheus]] is demonstrating active roll control of a payload on descent, and [[Pegasus]] is testing a parafoil recovery system.

	The team is working on creating and testing ~~essential and~~ novel systems for an eventual ~~large~~-scale project~~, more specifically~~ Project Daedalus. [[Project Daedalus]] is a suite of four rockets: [[Talos]] is a launch vehicle for [[Kythera]], [[Charybdis]] is testing out passive ascent stabilization with canted fins, [[Prometheus]] is demonstrating active roll control of a payload on descent, and [[Pegasus]] is testing a parafoil recovery system.

	To accomplish each of the components of Daedalus, the Rockets team builds and launches [[L1 Certification\|Level 1]], [[L2 Certification\|Level 2]], and Level 3 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-power_rocketry high-power rockets]. These are launched with national rocketry clubs.

	A high powered rocket is defined as a rocket that weighs more than 1500 grams and contains a motor or motors containing more than 125 grams of propellant and/or rated at more than 160 Newton-seconds of total impulse. There are different classifications for motors and different levels of certification required to use these motors. These rockets fall in the Class 2 Rocketry category as long as ~~you stay under~~ 41,000 Ns. Class 3 rockets require motors that cannot be bought commercially (and ~~normally have~~ ITAR ~~restrictions~~).

There are different classifications for motors and different levels of certification required to use these motors. These rockets fall in the Class 2 Rocketry category as long as their total impulse remains below 41,000 Ns. Class 3 rockets require motors that cannot be bought commercially (and are classified as [[ITAR#Defense articles \| ITAR defense articles]]).

	The Rockets Team has general meetings every week; during ~~Winter~~ Quarter of 2015-2016, these meetings are held on Thursdays from 8-9pm in Durand 450. They cover all relevant project updates (i.e. Daedalus team updates and launch logistics) and function as worksessions where all of the Rockets Team members are in the same place at once.
