The objective of this project was to design a small-scale hybrid-motor rocket using customized fuel grains and vehicle geometries. The vehicle was designed with the intent of reaching the maximum altitude possible and returning safely to the ground under parachute.

My responsibilities as project lead and lead structural engineer where to:
-Ensure all members are on track and meeting deadlines.
-Verify files remain organized and up-to-date.
-Work with the team to seamlessly integrate the structural, recovery, and propulsive elements of the vehicle.
-Work with the team to compile data and present it in a variety of reports and presentations.
-Design 3D CAD drawings in SolidWorks of various key components of the vehicle.
-Perform FEA and CFD analysis in ANSYS on key components of the vehicle.
-Develop testing procedures and collect data from tests.
-Compile a of a Bill of Materials (BoM) while remaining within a constrained budget.
-Construct a Failure Mode & Analysis table and update it throughout the design process.
-Construct a table of hazards associated with propellants being used.
