Structure

Welcome to the Structure Department

We are in charge of designing, manufacturing, assembling, and testing the Rocket’s key structures while keeping mass, safety, and cost in mind. From ground wind when standing on the launchpad to dynamic air pressure and lift load during flight, the rocket must endure a variety of stress situations. It must also withstand thrust reactions as well as internal pressure loads in the oxidizer tank and combustion chamber. The structure department uses FEM simulations and manual calculations to ensure that the rocket retains structural integrity while enduring all of the aforementioned loads.
