Title: Design a rocket.
Course: Aerospace Technology II (21055-II) > Section: Working with Model Rockets

Design should follow the engineering design process, identify safety concerns, and include the following components:

- Engine/propulsion system
- Materials
- Airframe system
- Guidance system
- Control system
- Recovery system

Additional considerations might include

- payload
- aerodynamics
- flight stability
- design tools used, such as software design applications.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What are the steps in the design process?
- Why are multistage rockets necessary for space exploration?
- What are the drawbacks to using multistage rockets?
- What alternatives are there to multistage rockets?
- How does the addition of a payload change the flight characteristics of a rocket?
