Hello! This is my first post, and probably wont be my last(I've found my new facebook )
I'm not sure if my rocket would fall under the "high powered" or "mid powered" rocket. However, I wanted to launch a rocket about 2-3 miles up for my schools STEM showcasing.
I'm collaborating with a few other group members on taking co2 ratings through the atmosphere. They are going to do their OWN segment with a quadcopter, but I have had an interest in rockets and making fire and what not, so I figured to strap their altimeters and other gadgetry onto my rocket and blast it into space to get even more readings.
My problem is this, I know I want the design based off the simple but effective V2 rocket, however, I only have maybe less than 210$ budget as of now, and the time for completion is around NOV 17. Unfortunately I'm in Northern CA, so finding a good launch day during that month will be hell.
If anyone can point me to a good direction, that would be great!
My other ideas were a "pipe rocket" using Ethyl alcohol and liquid oxygen, but for my alloted time, that seems a bit far fetched.
If you lovely folks wouldn't mind giving some input, that would be great.
My hopeful height dimensions are 5 ft tall. 1 1/2 Feet in diameter. Probably no more than 25-30 LBS.
