National Rocketry Championship — 2022–2023

Following the success in 2022, the team tunnel-visioned on a poorly designed rocket. It was maximised for apogee but it relied too heavily on Open Rocket. The launch was a failure, with the rocket swerving off the rail. The rocket was recovered over 250 days after it was launched after it lost a battle against a tractor. This was a huge learning experience for the team…

• Apogee-focused design that over-trusted Open Rocket
• Rail departure failure at launch
• Airframe recovered 250+ days later (tractor damage)
• Major learning year for the team
