Model Rocketry

This 2nd class of model rocketry program will involve building two (2) Estes Model rockets (1 basic level; 1 intermediate level) and focus on the Titan stage curriculum content of the CAP Model Rocketry instruction manual (link below). 

Prior to this class, cadets should have already (1) downloaded the AP Model Rocketry instruction manual, (2) read the written portions for both the Redstone Stage (Pages 1-4) and Titan Stage (Pages 21-25) in the CAP Model Rocketry instruction manual, (3) passed the Redstone Stage quiz in Axis, and (4) passed (or attempted to pass) the Titan stage quiz in Axis.

If you have not passed the quiz for either the Redstone or Titan stage, come prepared to discuss with the class the topics you found challenging.

Because of the time required to build the rockets, we are extending the hours of class.  Cadets may leave once they have completed the building of the 2 rockets and they have shown proof of completing the Titan stage quiz in Axis, or when they need to leave.  If cadets are not able to finish building the rockets by the time they leave, alternative times can be scheduled to complete the rockets at a later time.

If you are not able to attend this class due to a conflict, contact 2nd Lt. Van der Veen (jonathan.vanderveen@idwgcap.org) to arrange an alternative time.  Please include C/CMSgt Edwards and C/CMSgt Van der Veen in the email message.
