BOOMSLANG
Boomslang is a ethanol fueled, nitrous oxide oxidized rocket that will launch 10,000+ feet. This project is going to be the baseline for starting our design for the CPLC challenge, as it will provide valuable insight into the efficiency of the fill system, thrust characterization, and much more!
Major components of this rocket are manufactured entirely by students, including the pintle injector, fuel/oxidizer tank, test stand, and airframe.
Some of the major goals of the Boomslang rocket are:
1. Complete multiple static fires before and after launch to fully characterize the thrust performance of the system.
2. Develop higher standards of safety with respect to high-pressure systems, oxidizer transportation, and fill/vent procedures.
3. Go as high as possible! (as per the dollar-per-foot challenge)
