The body of our rocket is 21.59 cm long, has an outer diameter of 3.08 cm and an inner diameter of 2.8 cm. It has launch lugs on the side to guide the rocket upwards during launch. The bottom has several layers of centering rings. The very bottom has extrusions to serve as latches for the bottom cap.

We created this cap to be able to easily change engines. It's a twist cap. The ledges latch onto the extrusions on the body tube. The inside of the cap tapers to a smaller diameter to hopefully increase pressure on the rocket. 

Most of the nose has a conical shape. The line at the tip of the cone marks where a parabolic shape starts. The shoulder is a cylindrical shape. It has the cutout to attach the parachute. The shoulder has an outer diameter of 2.79 cm to fit the body tube so that it will be attached during flight, but come off when the ejection charge fires.

We tried to create a tapered shape to our fins. It tapers up and to the outer edge. We thought this taper would resemble and act similar to an airfoil.

For our parachute we tested several different designs. We eventually settled on this design because it offered the best drag while being compact. It is a trash bag cut in half with handles tapped to the other side. We strung the trash bag with 50 lbs. test fishing line. 

We laser cut the launch station out of 1/4" wood and hot glued the pieces together. We then covered the top of the launch station with 5 layers of aluminum foil to protect it from the engine. We are using an eighth inch brass rod as the guide for the rocket. When assembling the launch station the edges of the bases overlapped, so we had to manually sand the the edges down. We did not have access to the laser cutter to recut a correct size.
