Grace Christian Academy's Rocket Club is a 100% student led team, in conjunction with Grace Christian Academy's Science Department, which designs and launches rockets. Students use design software called Solid Works and Rocksim to engineer rockets and simulate the field readiness before any build session. Students are constantly acquiring STEM related experience as they overcome many of the design challenges. Once students build the rocket, the fun really starts to happen. Scroll through this page to find out more about our club.
TARC Updates
After our first day of launching we reached a height of 818ft. and a return time of 52 seconds. we feel this to be a great start for our team’s goal. We will continue to launch and fine tune our rocket to reach the required parameters by our qualification date of April first. We have also begun building a second rocket in case our first rocket were to fail.
