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]]).+ − − {| − ! Class − ! Rating − !

= Background =
Welcome to rockets! This page is intended to lay out the organization of the group, and let everyone know exactly what they need to do to get started! First of all, the current rockets co-leads are {{Leadership|Rockets=true}} - let us know if you have any questions about the group or about what you are supposed to do.
SSI tries to introduce new members to High Power Rocketry by guiding them through building a simple rocket, flying it, and earning a Level 1 certification. While not all members have to go through this, it will introduce you to designing, analyzing, building, and then flying a rocket (and you will go to a launch, which are always fun).
The main rockets page has a lot of information about High Power Rocketry, as well as how we approach it. Reading through the page before attending a meeting is recommended, but certainly not required. This one focuses more on what you have to do to join, which is less about rockets and more about logistics.

== Meetings ==
The Rockets Team has general meetings every week; during Spring 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.
The Rockets Team has general meetings every week; during Fall Quarter of 2017-2018, these meetings are held on Mondays from 8-9pm in Durand 450. They cover all relevant project updates (i.e. Daedalus team updates and launch logistics) and function as work sessions where all of the Rockets Team members are in the same place at once.
Each project under the Rockets Team umbrella needs to have at least one work session/meeting a week in conjunction with the team-wide meetings.

== End Station III/ISS ==
ISS can be considered the temple to SSI’s religion, the hub, nerve center, or kernel of all project activity. Located in End Station III, ISS houses work sessions and project storage. Note: keycard access is required to the building. For specific questions, contact our workspace manager (see our website). Meetings or work sessions can also be conducted in the conference room, Durand 393 (often available), the floor of End Station III (known as Dragon), or Durand 450 (with prior reservation through AA Department Office on the second floor of Durand).
