We are York College Rocketry
The NASA Student Launch Program is a year-long engineering design program that allows college teams to work right alongside NASA engineers to build and launch a model rocket to a height of one mile. Each year we design, build, and test this model rocket capable of reaching 1 mile, while also carrying a scientific payload.This program also features a series of reports that must be submitted to NASA that go through the engineering design process for our team.
On the rocket for 2017, we will have an automated rover payload that will be carried during flight. This rover will need to know when it is launched and when it has reached its' target (the ground after flight). Once it reaches the ground, it will sense this change and move automatically via electronics a certain distance away from the rocket. Once it has moved 10 feet, it will open up a set of solar panels from which energy will then be collected.
