Team Autonomous Rocket Equipment System (A.R.E.S.) has embarked on a new challenge! This year's NASA Student Launch competition invovles a completely new aspect of the competition that will challenge and push the limits of our current engineering knowledge. In addition to creating a new rocket from very basic materials, we have to design, launch, and construct an Autonomous Ground Support Equipment that will insert a small payload into the rocket, raise the rocket to 5 degrees off the vertical, and insert the igniter.
