The Training and Certification
The team is currently focusing on training new team members to design, build, and fly their own rockets from scratch in order to prepare for the design and fabrication of this year’s major competition.
Team members are encouraged to build and fly a Level 1 rocket to certify with Tripoli Rocketry.
The Competition
This year, BRT is competing in the Argonia Cup / Intercollegiate Rocket Engineering Competition (IREC) held by the Kloudbusters and the Tripoli Rocketry Association, INC.
The team will design and build a rocket to hit a target altitude of 8,000ft AGL and must contain a golf ball payload that is to be recovered safely at a predetermined location on the rocket range.
More to come as the design process continues.
