Abstract
The two-stage rocket project has the goal of building and flying a series of high-power multistage rockets that will test staging mechanisms that can be scaled and used on future high-altitude staged rockets. The project consists of the construction and flight-demonstration of two multistage rockets, the Prototype and the Full-scale. The Prototype will serve as a testbed for the staging system, and the Full-scale will be used to validate the system’s scalability. The purpose of the project is to demonstrate that staged rockets are a feasible method of achieving high altitude rocket flight while being more efficient than single-stage rockets.
