The Pickerel


Length: 16.67
Diameter: 1.32
Projected Altitude: 1000'
Skill Level: 1

This is a scaled version of my senior design project. It was designed by the 2008-2009 USU Chimaera team. We entered a NASA competition to build a high power rocket that would carry a scientific payload to an altitude of one mile AGL. This rocket was built to test the stability of the design. Ultimately we won the competition. If I had $5000 just lying around I would totally build the full size version because it was an awesome rocket.
