Rocket Raptors
Four homeschooled students designing, building, and flying our own rocket as a rookie American Rocketry Challenge team. We design the airframe and the flight systems ourselves — Airbrakes, recovery, and the electronics that run both.
Four students. One coach.
A student-led team. We handle the design, construction, testing, and flight planning ourselves, with our coach providing guidance and supervision.
One airframe, built to chase an 800-foot target.
C.A.Y.L deployed airbrakes, a reefing canopy, and onboard electronics that watch the flight in real time. Those systems are how we steer altitude and time toward the 2027 target — not how we buy a kit and hope.
The American Rocketry Challenge
The world’s largest student rocketry competition for grades 6-12. For the 2027 challenge, our rocket must carry two eggs to 800 feet, remain in flight for 37–40 seconds, and have a liftoff mass of no more than 650 grams.
