Line 9: − + − − All new members are highly encouraged to earn a Level 1 certification, and most dedicated members will eventually receive a Level 2 certification. − − == [http://wiki.stanfordssi.org/HPR_Background_Information High Power Rocketry]== − − 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]]). − − {| − ! Class − ! Rating − !

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.

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.

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.
