Founded in 2024, we're a group of Pellissippi State students dedicated to exploring and innovating in STEM. We bring classroom knowledge to life, transforming it into practical, real-world skills.
The Project#
NASA's Midwest High-Power Rocket Competition
Challenge #1
Design, build, and test a rocket that can reach 1,000 ft in altitude within a (+10ft) or (-10ft) margin of error with data collected by altimeter while ensuring systems aren’t damaged and recovery of the rocket is achieved.
Challenge #2
With unrestricted altitude: Design and build a rocket that can reach the highest apogee possible with a single H550 motor then recover it undamaged and able to be launched again.
