UKAYRoC - 2009 Challenge is Open!
For 2009, 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 of 45 seconds. The external diameter of the rocket at the point where the egg is placed must be no less than 59 millimetres. The egg must be placed in the rocket “on its back” with its long axis perpendicular to the rocket’s intended direction of flight mimicking the position of an astronaut. The team must be able to prove/demonstrate the orientation of the egg inside the rocket.
In addition to the prize of a trip to the USA, as Innovation is important in this competition a prize will be given for the most innovative method of proving the orientation of the egg. Registration for this year’s UKAYROC will open on Monday 1st September. The top 20 teams will be invited to compete in our finals next Easter.
