![]() Requests should be submitted with the budget proposal. Teams traveling from Mountain, Pacific, Hawaiian, or Alaskan time zones may request additional travel funds. Reimbursed up to $4000 for project and travel expenses (U.S. NOTE: Motor selection deadline: February 27, 2023 WSGC also provides ejection charges and a motor casing for competition flights. One (1) motor per team will be provided per the competition parameters. Equipment/Reimbursable funds provided by WSGC Competition Rocket Motor The rocket should satisfy all other technical requirements as outlined in the competition handbook. The flight shall be stable and reach an apogee between 3500’ and 4000’ AGL. Teams will be partially scored based on overall fabricated weight versus COTS weight comparison. The rocket shall be designed as such to be lighter than the COTS kit, but equally strong if not stronger. The rocket shall be based on 1 of 3 COTS kits. ![]() Mars Engineering Challenge: Teams shall design, test, and fabricate all structural components of a lightweight rocket from raw materials - the focus is on material science, fabrication, and understanding material properties and strengths. It is the purpose of this Announcement of Opportunity to support the innovative, visionary projects that are student-led and designed to fully realize WSGC’s goal of assisting in training the next generation of aerospace professionals. The end result is a great aerospace learning experience unique to the Native American communities. Rocket motors and dimensions are restricted by competition parameters so that the knowledge, creativity, and imagination of the students are challenged. FNL is a ‘First Step’ experience designed for students with no prior experience working with high-powered rockets. The competition requires teams of undergraduate students to conceive, design, fabricate and compete with high-power rockets. The Wisconsin Space Grant Consortium First Nations Launch competition offers Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCU), Native American-Serving Nontribal Institution (NASNTI), as well as active American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES) collegiate chapters the opportunity to demonstrate engineering and design skills through direct application in high-power rocketry. Challenge managers will contact participants on specifics and changes to the challenges, if any. Protecting the health and safety of team members, staff and judges is our primary priority. Note: As the coronavirus (COVID-19) situation continues to evolve, FNL will closely monitor and follow guidelines from federal, state, and community officials regarding on-site competitions. This competition is an opportunity for students attending a Tribal College or University (TCU), a Native American-Serving Nontribal Institution (NASNTI), or who are members of an active American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES) collegiate chapter to design, build, and fly a high-powered rocket to be launched at a competition at the Richard Bong State Recreational Area in Kansasville, WI. NASA’s Wisconsin Space Grant Consortium (WSGC) is pleased to announce the 14Īnnual First Nations Launch (FNL) National Rocket Competition.
