casperCal Poly Pomona's First Endeavor In Liquid Rocketry
|
What is Casper?
Casper Rocket Project is defined by a single goal: to launch UMBRA and Cal Poly Pomona's first liquid bipropellant rocket. Our diverse members are ambitious and determined, hungry to think outside the box and break ground for the UMBRA's entry into liquid bipropellant. Casper Rocket Project members embody Cal Poly Pomona's school mantra of "learn by doing," experience the ins and outs of technical high-powered rocket design. This melds seamlessly with the Systems Engineering approach, and members learn practical application of aerodynamics, structure analysis, manufacturing, avionics, and thermochemistry for liquid propulsion.
With the Casper Rocket Project starting in August 2023, launch is planned for June 2024. Ten months of planning, designing, and manufacturing the liquid bipropellant rocket from the ground up. On launch, the rocket is expected to fly to a minimum of 10,000 feet before its guided descent under its recovery system. The Casper Rocket Engine is a simple and affordable design, using isopropanol and nitrous oxide as its fuel and oxidizer, respectively.
