About TARC
An extra-curricular hands-on project-based learning program, the TARC competition is modeled around the aerospace industry’s design, fabrication and testing processes. Students participate in a team of 3 -10 students to design, build, and fly a rocket.
Like aerospace companies work within specific design parameters, every year the challenge requires teams to achieve the same basic mission-oriented goals of hitting a precise altitude (775 feet), landing within a specific flight time window (41 - 43 seconds), and returning a raw egg (”the eggstronaut”) without cracking.
Each year a unique task is also included; this year we are challenging students to fly 1 egg, separate the booster from payload section and use two different diameter body tubes. The booster can be no bigger than 42mm or a BT-60 tube. See the link below for full details.
