Workshop Introduction

A rocket is a launching vehicle used to carry out various space exploration missions such as launching an artificial satellite, human space flight, robotic space probe etc. The SDNx Model Rocketry Workshop is aimed to reveal the physical science and technology behind designing a rocket. This workshop is synthesized to provide practical exposure on model rocketry. The workshop involves learning about software assisted designing & development of a model rocket, followed by a rocket hardware assembly and chemically propelled propulsion system manufacturing. It will enable participants to practically understand the aerodynamics, trajectory calculations, propulsion, propellant selection and scientific principles involved in rocket design. In this workshop you'll connect with other participants and experts from around the world to learn about space science and technology. Together with an intimate group, we'll work on understanding the scientific principles of designing your own rocket. You will also receive full exposure to certain rocket software to understand the construction of various parts of a rocket.

What you'll walk away with

• Complete designing of model rockets by the participants on Open Rocket software.
• Understanding of rocket principles and material selection for designing a rocket.
• Great visual sessions based content to help students grasp the content easily.
• Information about Space Industry Trends and Technology.
• Students will realise that they must have the opportunity to actively practice and develop their technical skills in schools and colleges.
• Understanding that it is important that leading edge technology tools are integrated with the conventional academic structures in their institutions.
• Theoretical knowledge given in the classroom works best when it combines with practicality and SDNx Space Labs does this for you.
• Exposure to Designing & Development of model rocket.
• Knowledge about present & future Space Missions all over the world.
• Learning of Fabrication of a Model Rocket from scratch.
