To teach design principles of high power rocketry with hands-on experience. Teams will design and launch novel rocket concepts iteratively, starting from 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 />

The technology coming out of this project will benefit the Rockets Team’s flagship rocketry project.<br />
Each team will undertake the long process and end up with an L3 built from scratch. 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. design, 4. testing and documentation review, 5. build and launch. The milestones will focus on providing hardware - not presentations.<br />

# The rocket will be certified through [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tripoli_Rocketry_Association Tripoli Rocketry Association] or the National Association of Rocketry
# The rocket will be certified through Tripoli.
# Most of the rocket must be able to be machined or modified on Stanford’s campus.
