Welcome to the HHS Rocketry Club! Our mission is to make model rocketry fun and accessible for anyone with any skill level.
Each year we like to compete in different rocket competitions, allowing students to work in teams to design, test, and fly dozens of times a year. Members are taught how to simulate using software such as OpenRocket (or even industry CFD software like Ansys Fluent), how to collaborate with teammates in constructing low, medium, and even L1 rockets, and the physics to predict the motion of rockets. Members who also want to explore personal projects are encouraged to do so, and we'll help out along the way (no heat seeking missiles though).
Join us and take your imagination into the skies!

Competitions
The Rockets for Schools competition is a hands-on aerospace program where middle and high school students design, build, and launch high-powered rockets. These rockets are 6 feet tall and travel up to 2,600' into the sky, carrying a scientific payload students design to collect data. Rockets are scored based on craftsmanship, payload design, and presentation.
The American Rocketry Challenge is the world’s largest student rocketry competition, where teams of middle and high school students design, build, and launch model rockets to meet specific flight and payload requirements. These rockets are ~2-3 feet tall, and are designed to travel to 750 feet while staying in the air for 36 to 39 seconds. They are scored points based on how precisely they can hit the set time and altitude.
The FAI (fédération aéronautique internationale) hosts a World Space Modeling Championship (WSMC) every two years. Teams from around the world design, build, and fly model rockets to compete in multiple different events. Rockets are typically required to be at least 20" tall, and can reach altitudes as high as 1200+ feet or stay in the air for multiple hours without any assistance.
