Beyond Rocket Design Details
Founded in December 2015, Beyond Rocket Design is a Brazilian rocket team,headquartered at the Federal University of Itajubá and is composed by undergraduatestudents from the Institution and a coordinating professor. The team mission is tocontribute to the development and expansion of the aerospace industry in Brazil andworldwide.The members design, build and launch rockets which reach up to three kilometers ofaltitude, approximately 9.842,52 feet. The students thus apply their knowledgeobtained in the areas of engineering and develop skills such as leadership, projectmanagement, organization, research and technical knowledge.The team is divided into four subteams: Structure and Aerodynamics, Propulsion,Electrical Systems and Management. The first is responsible for designing the structureof the rocket and conducting aerodynamic studies, aiming at the best performanceduring the flight and its recovery. Propulsion is the subteam responsible for thedevelopment and execution of the rocket engine design and its auxiliary components.The embedded electronic part of the rocket is performed by the electrical systems teamresponsible for launching and recovering the rockets, as well as collecting test andflight data. Management is responsible for areas such as finance, human resources,documentation, communication and marketing.Beyond Rocket Design participates in annual rocket competitions in order to pursuechallenges to be overcome by increasing members background of rocket buildingprocesses and events. Currently, the team participates in two national competitions:The Brazilian Festival of Mini Rockets and the Brazilian University Competition ofRockets (COBRUF).We thank all the collaborators who have supported us over the years: ESSS - ANSYS,FILIPEFLOP, MANO MAKER, NÚCLEO DE TECNOLOGIA EM COMPÓSITOS (NTC), PRODMECEletromecânica Ltda, REI BURGÃO, SOLIDWORKS, SPEAKING IDIOMAS, TEC - CICIRCUITOS IMPRESSOS.
