Purpose
The AISES (American Indian Science and Engineering Society) team at the University of Waterloo is designing, testing, and fabricating a rocket that will fly to 2000 ft above ground level, then deploy a lander that will parachute back to the ground. The lander will carry a GPS/tracking system and a camera, which will provide a video recording of the landing. The rocket and payload will be designed to meet all requirements outlined by the “First Nations Launch (FNL) Moon Challenge” for the 2023-24 competition. The competition will be held in Wisconsin, where the team will work with and compete against other Indigenous student teams from across Turtle Island. Participating in this competition will help team members gain experience with collaboration, teamwork, and the application of technical skills to real-world space projects.
