The Test Rocket series is just what it sounds like! These rockets are testing platforms for design validation of subsystems through a small scale rocket. Typically these rockets are launched on L1 motors in order for us to have a better chance at getting ground visuals on flight events.

TR-3.1 was produced to prove out 2 Boosted 2 Bears panel data logger, radio, GPS, and parachutes. The ascent was nominal but due to insufficient shear pins the drogue chute pulled out the main parachute at apogee. Data will be used to update designs before our critical design reviews.
Launch Date & Location: February 9, 2019 at Three Oaks, Michigan (with Michiana Rocketry)

TR-2 was produced to prove out Boosted Bears boosted dart configuration. The rocket was flown with a scaled down deployable fins and avionics. Unfortunately, due to complications with nozzle erosion and altimeters that did not trigger flight events the booster section came down without a parachute.
Launch Date & Location: May 26, 2018 at Michigan International Speedway, Brooklyn, Michigan (with Jackson Model Rocketry Club)
TR - 1
TR - 1
TR-1 was MASA-Deaborn's second ever rocket launched. The rocket was built to test the parachute sizes that were to be used to indepently recover the deployable payload and also test the various avionics that were to be used on Operation Overwatch.
Launch Date & Location: April 8, 2017 at Michigan International Speedway, Brooklyn, Michigan (with Jackson Model Rocketry Club)
