Our team successfully presented dynamic and thrust models to NASA officials and Systems Go. We are the first team to have a fully working 4-degree-of-freedom python model to present to NASA, and had our model validated by Chris Madsen.
Thank you to everyone who attended our preliminary design review! After our team's successful review, we continue to work towards the research and design of our rocket.
Our team successfully presented our rocket design at SAIC to NASA and industry. We brought mockups and gained great information from all the attendees! A huge thanks to Chris Madsen, who scheduled tours around NASA after our presentation during such a busy time with the Artemis II launch!
