Hey,
We're starting a new student organization that will build rockets and participates in launch canada competitions.
I wanted to compare "tentative" budgets to see if we have estimated enough. We intend on building a rocket that will reach 10K feet level 1, and has avionics systems like COMMS, GPS, IMUs. The rocket will be custom-built ourselves and not from a rocket kit, so the fuselage will be built either out of plastic or aluminum. We intend to use COTS motors but are researching our own solid motors (looking into including this into our costs).
At an initial level without having had a chance to look into very far into it yet, we figured 22K$ for all of this until 2023 for the next launch canada competition. The project will be ongoing and we will scale up.
I know that this is very rough but I just wanted to know if other educational groups could say in general if 22k$ is critically low and we will run out of money, or if this is enough for just the first competition.
Any input would help, thanks!
