TARC (Team America Rocketry Challenge) -- Passed for 2009-2010

• The rules for TARC 2010 offer a new kind of challenge to the student teams, forcing even teams that may have entered TARC previously to go "back to the drawing board" and learn some new rocketry skills. While the flight goal remains flying an egg to a precise altitude (825 feet this year) and duration, the teams this year will be required to use a completely different type of recovery device to return the egg and altimeter: a streamer rather than a parachute. The techniques for achieving the duration goal with a streamer are quite different; it's harder, and it will put a new emphasis on protecting the fragile egg payload. http://www.rocketcontest.org/rules_2010.cfm 
• Website with all of the information: http://www.rocketcontest.org/index.cfm
• Registration will be on a first-come basis starting September 1, 2009.
  • There will be a fee of $50-$60 for this project.
