Group Project
A major benefit of a WAC membership is priority access to the annual group project! These allow the group to work on their rocketry skills while having a ton of fun building a rocket together.
WAC will be voting on a group project at the November 2024 meeting, slated to fly September 2025 at Sod Blaster!
The 2024 Group Project was a 8 ft tall Helios model, designed by WAC member Ken Tsai. This project is complete, and flew at the 2024 SodBlaster launch on Labor Day weekend 2024.
All WAC members are welcome to participate on these large projects no matter their experience level. These projects are led by highly experienced members in order to make sure everyone stays safe, so please contact us if you are interested in these projects.
---------------- 2023 ----------------
The 2023 Group Project was an 80% scale Aerobee. WAC members got to practice composite layups and a custom nose cone build while building this 16 ft. tall, 40 lb rocket together. The project successfully flew to 5000ft AGL on September 5th, 2023 in Pasco, WA.
