So I think we should have a place to list our project proposals for the summer.
1.
I'm all of 9 credit hours away from being a certified rocket scientist. What do you say we put some of that knowledge to the test? I say we build a convergent/divergent rocket on the order of 1-1.5 meters and see just what kind of altitude we can get. The rocket itself will be primitive consisting of an aluminum tube and nozzle of my design. The first step is to setup a test rig to determine the optimal number of stages. From there it's pretty much adding fins and a nose cone.
