Registration Open For Team America Rocketry Challenge

Top Scoring Teams This Year Will Fly A Second, More Challenging Mission

The 2015 Team America Rocketry Challenge is now open for registration. Teams may register anytime between now and December 12, 2014. 

The 2015 Challenge is as difficult as ever. Team rockets must carry a raw egg to 800 feet and back safely in 46-48 seconds. This year's challenge has a minimum length stipulation of 650 millimeters and requires rockets to return to Earth safely in two or more separate pieces. The portion with the egg and altimeter must use a single parachute, but the rest can return using any safe method.

The top scoring teams in the first round of flights at the National Finals will face another challenge: new 775 foot and 45-47 second targets for a second round flight.
 
Miles Lifson, Manager, Team America Rocketry Challenge, says that another big change this year is there will be no cap on the number of teams per school. So, recruit your friends! But to keep things fair, Lifson says, a maximum of three teams per school will be invited to the Finals.
