TEAM AMERICA ROCKETRY CHALLENGE
The Team America Rocketry Challenge (TARC) is the world’s largest model rocket contest. This national model rocket competition is for U.S. middle and high school students. It is sponsored by the Aerospace Industries Association (AIA) and the National Association of Rocketry (NAR) in partnership with NASA, the Department of Defense, the 39 AIA member companies and the American Association of Physics Teachers.
The 2007 Challenge is to design, build and fly a model rocket carrying a raw egg and return it safely to the ground while staying aloft for exactly 45 seconds and reaching an altitude of 850 feet.
The registration deadline for the 2007 Challenge is November 30, 2006. National finals will be held at Great Meadow, The Plains, Virginia in May 2007.
If a team's score is one of the 100 best, they will be invited to compete for a share of the $60,000 prize package that includes cash, savings bonds and other special prizes at the 2007 National Finals.
