The Jackson Model
Rocketry Club will be playing a rather large role in this years Muskegon
Rockets for Schools. For those of you that are unfamiliar with the
program, it is basically an educational opportunity for groups
affiliated with anything i.e. schools, boy scouts, girl scouts,
businesses, etc. to learn about rocketry. The elementary age students
will build a rocket similar to a beefed up Estes Big Bertha carrying an
egg. As for the middle school through high school the students will
build a high power kit. Which is a 4" diameter, about 6' tall
flying on an I284W. Which for those of you who have never seen a high
power motor burn before, this takes the cake. This is Aerotech's largest
I motor, anything bigger moves up to the J class.
As for our club's role... we are in charge of the elementary launch
which will take place on May 4, 2001. We will need about 5-6 members
that are familiar with Estes rockets and D motors. We will also need a
couple members who are quite familiar with High Power rockets to assist
with the registration table. For some reason several questions are
brought to this table and the normal volunteers are not real fluent with
high power rocketry language. In other words, we need someone who can
speak fluent rocketry.
