L1 Certification Rocket

Summary

This rocket, named Big L, was designed with the primary goal of obtaining a NAR L1 High-Power Certification. The design was developed in OpenRocket to ensure stability and achieve the maximum possible apogee. The nose cone and fin assembly designs were derived from these simulations. The nose cone was 3D printed, while the fins were laser cut. The fin assembly was then assembled and integrated with the body tube using epoxy with a through-the-wall mounting technique for enhanced durability.
