'''Project Daedalus''' is an SSI program to teach design principles of high power rocketry with hands-on experience. Teams will design and launch novel rocket concepts iteratively, starting with L1, L2 and finally ending with an L3 rocket that successfully flies the thoroughly tested design. The technology coming out of this project will benefit the Rockets Team’s flagship rocketry project.<br />

Documentation of the process is a crucial aspect of Daedalus. Explaining pitfalls, triumphs, and the minutiae of designing a fully functional rocket will aid and speed up the process for future teams. Each team will go through a five stage development cycle: 1. research, 2. preliminary design, 3. critical design, 4. testing and documentation review, 5. build and launch. The milestones will focus on providing hardware - not presentations.<br />
