Design and Analysis of a High-Powered Model Rocket
Pubblico DepositedContenuto scaricabile
open in viewerThis paper describes the design, construction, and flight of a reusable high-power model rocket to a minimum altitude of 1000 ft. The Airframe and Recovery Systems, Flight Dynamics and Analysis, and Propulsion, Thermal, and Separation System subteams had various roles in the design, construction, and flight of the rocket. The ARS subteam designed the airframe, recovery bay, and fins, and chose altimeters and ejection method. The FDA subteam calculated the nosecone drag force, designed a flight computer to record data, and created an apogee detection algorithm in MATLAB. The PTSS subteam selected the Cesaroni I540 motor, designed an innovative separation system, and analyzed motor thermal loads using MATLAB and Cantera. All subteams collaborated for assembly and launch of the rocket.
