projct 5K

Project 5k was a team project with my school’s rocket club, and was the team’s first high power rocket. At 2.2” diameter it was the same diameter as Souped up, and it actually borrowed one of the test nose cones from that project. 

This rocket was built as a “Minimum diameter” rocket, meaning that the body tube inner diameter is the same as the motor’s outer diameter. 

Project 5k flew on a commercial CTI I540 rocket motor and achieved an altitude of 8036ft with an estimated speed of Mach 1.2.
