The American Rocketry Challenge 2023
01 Learn about TARC
The TARC (Team America Rocketry Challenge) rocket is a high-performance model rocket designed and built by teams of middle and high school students as part of a nationwide competition. The rocket must reach a specific altitude and flight duration while carrying a raw egg payload intact.
02 Team Plan and Design Logo
Our team is comprised of passionate individuals from diverse backgrounds and experiences. We bring together a wealth of knowledge and skills to achieve our goals and make a positive impact in our community.
03 Design & Build
Designing and building a TARC rocket requires students to apply concepts in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), as well as problem-solving, teamwork, and communication skills. The competition provides an opportunity for us students to learn and have fun while developing valuable skills and preparing for future careers in STEM fields.
04 Test & Declare Qualified Launch
During testing, the rocket's components, including the engine, fins, and recovery system, were observed during a test flight to see if are functioning properly and met our parameters for a successful TARC Qualification flight.
​
Once the rocket has passed all necessary tests and practice launches, it can be declared qualified to launch for a qualification flight.

We do all of our launches at Orvis Cattle Company in Farmington, CA
