The Mile High Yellow Jackets are developing a light-weight, fully-integrated, multi-mission reusable high power rocket to reach an altitude of 1 mile above the Earth. Our rocket sports a light-weight aerospace structure consisting of G-10 fiberglass circular ribs and longerons.
The Georgia Tech Mile High Yellow Jackets will design, build, test, and fly an electromagnetically levitated plate within their rocket. This plate will be stabilized against the motion of the rocket providing a vibration-free environment for the payload in an experiment known as A.P.E.S., or Active Platform Electromagnetic Stabilization.
The Georgia Tech Mile High Yellow Jackets will pursue a comprehensive Internal rocket system to include all experimental components, required electrical components, and necessary avionics. Together, these elements comprise the core areas of expertise within the Flight Systems team.
The Mile High Yellow Jackets’ goal is to engage and inspire children through hands-on activities and memorable learning experiences in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and math.
