AiS Challenge Progress Report

Team Number:

School Name:

Las Cruces High School

Area of Science:

Physical Science

Project Title

Rocket Flight Projection

Abstract:

Problem definition: We want to see how accurate the rocketry flight simulators on the market really are. Why is it important: This project will relieve some frustration that come with simulators today. Plan of Action: We will purchase the rocket, onboard electronics, and complete the program. We will launch in a clear range, gather the results taken by the electronics, and compare it to the program data.

Progress made on the current project:

The rocket materials have been purchased, and the simulator has been acquired for the flight projections. Launch site has been acquired, and approximate engine power range has been estimated. A mentor is still pending however. An update will be submitted as soon as one is available.

Formulas:

Of all of the most complicated equations you can think of, the simplest one, is:

W=F*D
