Challenge 2024-25 Overview

Participants in teams of three must design, build, and successfully launch/recover a rocket to reach an altitude of 400 ft, return within 30-33 seconds, and contain a payload of one large hen’s egg. The painted or decorated rocket must be of two different body tube diameters. The bottom section must be at least 8 inches long. The rocket must have only one stage and be powered by one commercially-made model rocket motor of “E” or lower power class. The rocket must be recovered in one piece using at least one parachute. Launching with a launch lug is encouraged as this is the most common equipment on the field.
