Rocketry

Outline:

The rocket division of Warwick Aerospace aims to design and manufacture a medium-scale rocket powered by KNSU solid fuel. The work of the team will encompass designing and manufacturing everything from the nose cone to the launch system. Sub-teams will focus on propulsion, body and casing of the rocket, and the electronic and launch systems of the rocket.
