All rockets will be launched at a pressure not to exceed 60 pounds per square inch. Once the rocket is pressurized, no student can touch or approach the rocket. Each rocket launched must pass a safety inspection and have a mass measurement taken. If a nose cone is used, it can separate, but should remain attached to the rocket body. If the any part of the rocket becomes unattached during flight, the rocket will be marked as a detachment and no bonus points will be awarded.
Cold glue is acceptable.
Sanding or other abrasion of the plastic used for the pressurized body is not allowable. Use of duct tape is highly recommended as the main type of fastener. There will be two actual launches per student. Practice launches will be allowed, but must be before the due date and arranged with Mr. Hayhurst. All rockets will be launched using the launching pad provided by Mr. Hayhurst.
