The Team America Rocketry Challenge Finals
AIA and the National Association of Rocketry (NAR) are proud to sponsor the 2010 Team America Rocketry Challenge, the largest model rocket showcase on the planet. This year's Challenge is to design, build, and fly a model rocket carrying one raw egg and return it safely to the ground while staying aloft for exactly 45 seconds and reaching an altitude of 825 feet using not a parachute, but a streamer. The 100 best teams will be invited to compete for a share of the $60,000+ prize package at the 2010 National Finals at Great Meadow, in The Plains, Virginia, May 15, 2010. |
