Space Requirements
The program can be set up in any indoor room
with at least 20’ by 25’ of cleared floor space.

Launch Activity
In the first activity,
participants use latex
balloons of different
shapes to make short-
range rockets.

Launch Activity
The objective is to launch
the rocket along a nylon
track and reach an
astronomical target 8’ –
12’ above the ground.

Re-Entry Activity
In the second activity, the
participants make re-
entry capsules using
foam discs, plastic lids,
and other materials of
varying weights.

Re-Entry Activity
The objective is to hover
the capsule in a stream of
air passing through a
clear tube, modeling the
drag a spacecraft
encounters upon re-entry.

Redesign
Both activities challenge
participants to think
creatively, tap into their
own ingenuity, and build
upon experience to reach
a goal.

Redesign
Just like real rocket
engineers, participants
learn from the
performance of their first
designs and attempt to
improve upon them.
