The 2016 Team America Rocketry Challenge for 2016 has challenged students to design and build a rocket that will carry two eggs to an altitude of 850 feet and land 44-46 seconds from launch.
The rocket must be at least 650 millimeters and not exceed 650 grams at liftoff.
The engine must be commercially available and not exceed 80 Newton-seconds of total impulse.
The eggs and altimeter in the payload section must return to the ground safely with a single parachute while the booster section containing the motor must return separately and safely.
Qualifying scores must be submitted by April 4, 2016. The top 100 qualifying teams will be invited to attend the 2016 TARC Fly-off on May 14, 2016, held at the Great Meadows in The Plains, VA.
