Requirement Completed Design Feature Requirement Rocket must reach apogee of 5280 ft. AGL, and cannot exceed 5600 ft. AGL Yes Rocket motor choice Rocket must be recoverable and reusable Yes Recovery system/Vehicle Design Rocket can only use commercial, NAR/TRA certified solid motor propulsion system Yes Motor choice Rocket motor cannot exceed total impulse of 5120 Ns Yes Motor choice Includes Payload Yes Payload design
Requirement Completed Design Feature Requirement Deployment of recovery devices must be staged. Dual deployment must be used. Yes Recovery system Each independent section must land with a maximum Kinetic Energy of 75ft*lbf Yes Recovery system/Overall rocket design Only Electronic recovery system must be completely independent of payload circuits Yes Recovery System Drogue and main parachutes must be deployed with removable shear pins Yes Recovery System Rocket and payload can only cost a maximum of $7500 as it sits on launch pad. Yes Overall rocket design and component choice
