The tiny parts and other hardware that keep our projects in one piece. Whether its a small part or a big part, it is a part we need! Every piece helps us build an awesome rocket or plane!
This is roughly the cost for a roll of 3D-Printer filament. We use 3D-Printed parts in everything from testing prototype designs to custom mounts for onboard computers and such.
This will go a long way for specialty plane parts, this could be anything from high torque servo motors to motor speed controllers or printed circuit boards and batteries. These parts will be put to good use!
This will help us purchase materials such as carbon fiber, fiberglass, or epoxy resin. Composites are an integral part of what we do and are used most commonly in our rocket body tubes or airplane wings and fuselages.
$100 dollars just about covers the cost of a single J180 rocket motor, while providing some left over funds to put towards mounting said motor. These are not electronic motors, but rather solid rocket fuel motors, which are ignited, providing the thrust that will send our beautiful rocket into the sky!
This donation will help to cover the cost of attending a competition, and/or any unexpected expenses while at a competition.
In order to compete at Spaceport America, we will need to buy some pretty beefy rocket motors. Some of the larger motor sizes require the purchaser to be certified by either the Tripoli Rocket Association (TRA) or the National Association of Rocketry (NAR). This will go towards the cost of getting club members certified by NAR in order to be able to buy those beefy motors.
Ok, well... maybe not the moon, our projects only go sky high, but if you want, we will put your name or your company name/logo on one of our projects such as our competition rocket which should fly roughly 10,000' high! This sort of donation will help us immensely.
