2 Outline Introduction Vehicle Overview Mission Predictions Payload Design Requirement Compliance Safety Project Plan

3 Introduction Objectives 1. Design, build, test and launch a reliable, robust vehicle within the limited time, resources, and manpower available. 2. Achieve an apogee altitude of, or as close as possible to, 5,280 ft AGL. 3. Successfully deploy a rover payload that will autonomously move and deploy a set of folded solar panels. 4. Win the Rookie of the Year Award and Safety Award.
