Haskell Launching
Haskell Indian Nations' rocket launches
into the clouds.
  
Competition

The flight competition entails:

Successfully flying a rocket obtaining "inflight-autostability" using an CTI 54mm, J140 motor with a 8.5 second burn. This challenge suggests that as the motor burns propellant, the rocket will be engineered to redistribute weight, rocket forces, or both to autostablize the rocket while inflight. The flight competition will be judged by the output of a competition-provided 3 axis accelerometer.

New This Year:


Aesthetic Award: An award will be given to the team whose rocket has the most innovative and professional appearance. Details that will be looked at include: paint, design, visibility, construction details, & overall “Wow” factor. This award will be voted on by the judges at the time of oral presentations. The winning team will be presented with the "Aesthetic" award at the banquet on Saturday night.


Team Spirit Award: This award will be given by a vote of all competing Tribal College teams to the team that shows interactive spirit, helpfulness, and cooperation. Teams will be encouraged to look at not only how the the other teams interact with each other but also how they interact with other team members, judges and staff. The winning team will be presented with the "Great Spirit" award at the banquet on Saturday night.
