Designing and Implementing a Level II HIgh Power Rocket with Dual Electronica...Aaron Blacker
This document outlines the process of designing and implementing a Level II high power rocket with dual electronically triggered parachute deployments. Key aspects include:
1) The rocket utilizes two pressurization chambers to separately deploy an apogee drogue parachute and a lower-altitude main parachute via an onboard electronic circuit.
2) Design considerations include aerodynamic forces, stability based on center of pressure and gravity, structural requirements, and dual-stage recovery system.
3) Dual deployment allows high-altitude deployment of a drogue parachute followed by lower-altitude deployment of a main parachute to descend safely without drifting too far.
This document describes the design process for a rocket developed by Purdue University's Team Galactic. The rocket was designed to meet FAA regulations for small hobby rockets and to safely collect flight data during launch and recovery. The team used both Agile and Waterfall development approaches to iteratively design and test six subsystems of the rocket. A management plan involved dividing tasks among team members leading four divisions. The conceptual design phase involved selecting analysis tools, generating rocket concepts, and developing a mathematical model to simulate rocket performance.
This document provides instructions for a student activity where teams will construct and launch water rockets. It describes the materials needed to build the rockets out of plastic bottles, cardboard, fins, and clay for stability. It outlines the construction process which includes gluing fins and adding a parachute system. It also describes launching and qualifying the rockets with string tests and measuring their altitudes reached during launch. The goal is for students to successfully design, build and launch water rockets while learning about forces, motion and the engineering design process.
1. The document describes how two students, Ali and Carmen, created a parachute for an "eggstronaut" egg to safely return from a model rocket. They made fins out of cardboard and attached bottles to the rocket.
2. For the parachute, they cut a rubbish bag into a parachute shape and added 8 threads. They also made a nose cone from blue cardboard.
3. To test it, they launched the rocket with an egg wrapped in special paper inside. The parachute opened after 1.40 seconds and the egg landed safely 1.20 seconds later, completing their experiment successfully.
The document provides an overview of the history and components of the space shuttle. It discusses how NASA wanted to develop a reusable system to make space travel less costly and ambitious. Key points include:
- The space shuttle was launched like a rocket and landed like an airplane, with four orbital test flights conducted in 1981.
- It consists mainly of the orbiter, main engines, external fuel tank, and solid rocket boosters. The external tank supplies fuel and is jettisoned, while the boosters are reusable.
- 135 missions have been conducted since 1981, with major missions including the first orbital test flight in 1981 and the final space shuttle flight in 2011.

This document provides instructions for building and launching a basic water rocket. It explains that a water rocket is made from a 2-liter soda bottle with a nose cone and fins added. When the bottle is pressurized and launched, Newton's second law causes the expelled water to provide upward thrust, propelling the rocket. Tips are given to increase height and stability, such as using less weight and more pressurized water. The document also shares facts like the world record height of 2723 feet and how water rockets work by pressurizing the bottle space and expelling water instantly.

Water rockets use water as a reaction mass that is pressurized by compressed air inside a plastic bottle engine. When the air is released, it forces the water out rapidly, propelling the rocket upwards due to Newton's third law of motion. Parachutes are devices that slow falling objects by creating drag in the atmosphere through ram-air parachutes or aerodynamic lift. The MK Parachute Team's 2014 presentation demonstrates the concepts of water rockets and parachutes.
This document provides instructions for building and launching a water bottle rocket. Key steps include cutting bottles to form a body and fins, adding clay and a parachute, and pressurizing with water before launch. The physics principles of forces, momentum, and Newton's Third Law are investigated through measuring the rocket's acceleration, velocity, and reaction forces during launch. Materials needed include plastic bottles, clay, a parachute, tape, and a compressor to pressurize the rocket with air before launch.
