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.

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 />

Certification launches will be done at the Tripoli Central California launch days (every third Saturday of the month). LUNAR holds launches at Snow Ranch every first Saturday of the month; these will serve as backup launch dates (or extra testing dates if failure occurs). See schedule for more specifics.</p></li></ul>
