Update: April 9

We launched our rocket on Monday for its qualification flight for TARC. Unfortunately, the parachute failed to deploy and the rocket was lost. Therefore, we will not be entering into the Team America Rocketry Challenge.

We would like to extend out our thanks and gratitude to the KCAR members who have helped us out on our project. We wish that it could have gone better, but it was still an invaluable learning experience for all of us. Thank you again for you time and help on our project.

Progress

We have started work on our final rocket. Other than having a mishap with the coupler in terms of its size, we are on track and we expect to have completed construction by the end of the week. There is the potential that we will launch as early as next week.
