Team America Rocketry Challenge Registration Closes November 30
The Team America Rocketry challenge is open for registration until Nov. 30. This year's Challenge is to design, build, and fly a model rocket carrying 2 raw eggs and return them safely to the ground while staying aloft for exactly 45 seconds and reaching an altitude of 750 feet. Teams whose score was one of the 100 best were invited to compete for a share of the $60,000 prize package at the 2008 National Finals at Great Meadow, in The Plains, Virginia, on May 17, 2008. This is the largest model rocketry event in the world, with 7000 students participating each year. You can find on the web the rules for TARC 2008, as well as a list of National Association Rocketry mentor volunteers that would be happy to assist your team.
You can find the critical information that you need and the registration form at: rocketcontest.org/tarc.
