UKAYRoC 2011 Challenge

For 2011, UKAYRoC teams have to design, construct and successfully launch a rocket, carrying one raw medium size hen's egg to an altitude of 750 feet with a flight time between 40 - 45 seconds, then return the egg and altimeter payload section safely and undamaged to earth using a single 15inch parachute only.

The teams will build and test their flight vehicles under the guidance, safety rules and regular launch events established by the UK Rocketry Association (UKRA).

The teams complete qualification flights in front of an independent UKAYRoC official observer and an independent witness, with the top 20 teams being able to qualify for the UK final fly-off event which will take place in late April/early May 2011.
