Carnegie Mellon Rocket Command Budget

FY2012 (July 1 2011 - June 30, 2012)

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.

Rocket Construction

Object Code Requested Recommended Final Description
Other Supplies (+) $40.00 $40.00 $40.00

Nose Cones (Approximately 2 3.90" Diameter Nose cones or 4 1.52" Nose cones, costs may be even less for smaller rockets, allowing the club to build more)

Other Supplies (+) $40.00 $40.00 $40.00

Airframe Tubing for Rocket Body (Allows for one 48" section of 3.90 diameter high strength tube. Size and cost can be decreased if club looks to build smaller rockets for local launches.)

Other Supplies (+) $35.00 $35.00 $35.00

Parachute Recovery System (Parachutes are the most vital component, as they must be matched to the rocket's weight AFTER construction, thus exact parachute speficications cannot be listed.

Other Supplies (+) $15.00 $15.00 $15.00

Epoxy (Exact Epoxy used varies depending on materials used. Typical Epoxy is LOCTITE 8OZ Protessional Clear Epoxy, at $15 from Lowes)

Other Supplies (+) $15.00 $15.00 $15.00

Centering Rings (Cost allows for 4 (3.90"OD-2.14"ID) Centering rings, giving two per nose cone listed above, sufficient to build two rockets that may compete , actual construction specs may vary)

Other Supplies (+) $15.00 $15.00 $15.00

Material for fins constructed from scratch

Other Supplies (+) $30.00 $30.00 $30.00

Motor Mount and Motor Adaptors (A 2.14"Motor Mount tube, the maximum size we would consider implementing, is approximately $7, and an adaptor to fly on smaller motors is ~$7. Specs may vary.)
