Project 2.2.5 Rocket Design and Build Introduction Rockets are designed for a variety of missions and performance requirements. The payload of a rocket is that crucial component that often provides the constraints for the engine thrust and flight control. In this projectyou will design and build a rocket to perform a mission specified by your teacher. The thrust available is limited to the engine you tested in the last activity. Equipment Engineering notebook Computer with access to NASARocketModeler software Rocket tubes (Inner and outer diameters) Nose cone Parachute Rocket engine Clay String (10 ft masonry line) Weighing scale Procedure Form three person teams under the direction of your teacher. Your teacher will provide you with the design objective and constraints. Record the information below. Rocket engine: _________________. Maximum rocket weight at launch: _________________. Rocket tube minimum and maximum diameter: _________ and ________. Parachute: ______________ Payload description: _________________. Maximum payload weight: _________________. Weigh each component that will be included in your rocket. Record the weights below. Nose Cone: _____________ Launch lug: _____________
