Carnegie Mellon Rocket Command Budget
FY2014 (July 1, 2013 - June 30, 2014)
Our goal is to introduce students to model rocketry through information, movies, and building and launching rockets individually, as competing teams, and as a club.

Member Involvement
| Object Code | Requested | Recommended | Final | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ops-General Supplies (+) | $350.00 | $350.00 | $350.00 |
Kits will be constructed by members at club meetigns and flown at club launches. A subsidy removes the financial burden of participation and promotes involvement in the club. |
| Ops-Event Supplies (+) | $100.00 | $100.00 | $100.00 |
Rocket motors for our launches: these are expendable. Motors will be used to power the aforementioned ktis. It is difficult to specify ahead of time which motors will be used, as this depends upon which models members choose to construct. |
| Food-Refreshments for General Body Meetings (+) | $540.00 | $540.00 | $540.00 |
The Physics Department funds pizza at one meeting per month. Covered 100% by revenue |
| Sub-Total | $990.00 | $990.00 | $990.00 |
Tools
| Object Code | Requested | Recommended | Final | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Equip-Non-Capital Equipment (+) | $40.00 | $40.00 | $40.00 |
Building Supplies: Sandpaper, glue, and tape are used in the construction process. Covered 100% by membership dues |
| Equip-Non-Capital Equipment (+) | $30.00 | $30.00 | $30.00 |
Paint: This gives the rockets a finished experience and increases their durability. Covered 100% by membership dues |
| Equip-Non-Capital Equipment (+) | $80.00 | $80.00 | $80.00 |
Tools: This will provide for items such as hobby knives, saw blades and scissors used in the construction process. These purchases will allow greater availability of construction tools to all members, improving and accelerating the construction process. Covered 100% by membership dues |
| Sub-Total | $150.00 | $150.00 | $150.00 |
Custom Construction
| Object Code | Requested | Recommended | Final | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Equip-Non-Capital Equipment (+) | $40.00 | $40.00 | $40.00 |
Nose cones: These form the aerodynamic top of the rocket. We are planning to build a composite rocket this year, which will be more expensive than previous plastic models. |
| Equip-Non-Capital Equipment (+) | $40.00 | $40.00 | $40.00 |
Body tubes: these form the main body of the rocket, to which everything else is attached. We also intend to build one of these out of carbon-fiber composite this year. |
| Equip-Non-Capital Equipment (+) | $15.00 | $15.00 | $15.00 |
Centering rings: these hold the motor mound in place. |
| Equip-Non-Capital Equipment (+) | $20.00 | $20.00 | $20.00 |
Motor mount system: contains the motor inside the rocket. Tremendous force is generated here, so these must be very durable. |
| Equip-Non-Capital Equipment (+) | $30.00 | $30.00 | $30.00 |
Recovery systems: These slow the rocket before it hits the ground, preventing damage to both the rocket and the ground. As our rockets get larger, these get more complex and more expensive. |
| Equip-Non-Capital Equipment (+) | $5.00 | $5.00 | $5.00 |
Launch lugs: these ensure rocket stability before launch and during liftoff. |
| Capital Expense Fund (+) | $80.00 | $80.00 | $80.00 |
Materials to build a launchpad capable of supporting high-power rockets. |
| Equip-Non-Capital Equipment (+) | $40.00 | $40.00 | $40.00 |
Propellant: Some members have expressed interest in mixing their own propellant and reloading motors. This will allow us to purchase two reloadable motors and chemicals to mix propellant for them. |
| Sub-Total | $190.00 | $190.00 | $190.00 |
