UniNa Rocket 2018

The UniNa Rocket event is a workshop about aerospace engineering, with special regards to the rocketry.

The 30 participants will prove both their soft and hard skills. The aim is to craft a rocket that should reach the highest altitude. The event program follows:

• 07/4 – introduction to the event and to our sponsors, with the intervention of professor Savino, from our Space Department. Basic rocketry theory lesson; the course will include aerodynamic, stability and trajectory analysis and some hints about the engines, the hardware and the programming.
• 13/4 – rocket design, using the software Open Rocket; this program is user-friendly, as it’s meant for everyone to use and will help you develop the rocket, by dimensioning its parts and calculating the motion parameters (trajectory, speed and acceleration).
• 14/4 – rocket crafting; the teams will receive the stuff to craft the rocket following the design previously done with Open Rocket; our Local Board members will assist you in the procedure.
• 15/4 – rocket launch; the launch will be supervised by a professional aeromodellist, following the ENAC standards
