propulsion

The goal is to educate Wau Rocketry members on crafting KNSB ( Pottasium Nitrate Sorbitol ) rocket propellant, enhancing their understanding of propellant composition. Safety is paramount, requiring strict adherence to established protocols, precise equipment usage, procurement of high-quality chemicals, and following a proven formulation with a balanced oxidizer-to-fuel ratio. These measures safeguard individuals involved and mitigate environmental risks.

OPEN ROCKET

We emphasize teaching club members to use software like OpenRocket for rocket simulation and design, enhancing their skills in performance analysis and enabling practical exploration of aerospace engineering concepts.

Understanding aerodynamics is crucial for rocket design, as they rely on lift, drag, thrust, and weight. Balancing these forces ensures successful launch and flight. The rocket's structural integrity is vital for withstanding the immense pressures during launch and flight, emphasizing the importance of engineering robust and durable spacecraft.

avionic

In our avionics workshop, we embarked on an enlightening journey into the realm of printed circuit boards (PCBs). We learned their significance as the backbone of electronic systems, enabling compact and efficient designs. Through hands-on experience, we mastered the art of building an altimeter, harnessing PCBs to create precise altitude measurement devices, propelling our understanding of aerospace technology to new heights.

"Avionics: where the precision of electronics meets the poetry of flight."

RECOVERY

In our workshop, we delved deep into the intricacies of rocketry recovery systems. We learned how black powder acts as the catalyst for parachute deployment, housed within the rocket's body. Understanding the meticulous design of the parachute structure ensures a safe descent, crucial for safeguarding payloads and equipment.

"Recovery in rockets isn't just about retrieving hardware; it's about recapturing possibility."
