10.  6 Test Areas:  Qualifications  Functionality  Safety  Flight duration  Altimeter  Altitude TEST PROCEDURE

11.  Check if rocket meets TARC Guidelines  Single Stage rocket  Approved Motor  Engine Weight  Parachute  Altimeter  Pass/Fail Result  Fail= Does not meet guidelines TEST PROCEDURE- QUALIFICATIONS

12.  Test rocket if operational  Rocket can launch  Recovery System Activates  Weight Chamber  Removable altimeter  No parts fall off  Pass/Fail Result  Pass= All aspects function  Fail= one or more aspects fail to function TEST PROCEDURE- FUNCTIONALITY

13.  Randomly Dropping Egg Capsule  5 from balcony  5 from test flights  Graded based on scale  Any score above 2= fail TEST PROCEDURE- SAFETY

14.  Launch rocket for air time  Start stopwatch the moment rocket launches  End when rocket touches the ground  Average all trials  Pass/fail criteria TEST PROCEDURE- FLIGHT DURATION Desired Range

15.  Assessment of altimeter’s functionality  Manually change air pressure  Listen for a reading  Pass= reports change in air pressure  Fail= no report or no new report TEST PROCEDURE- ALTIMETER

16.  Launch rocket for distance measure  Collect altimeter readings  Average all trials for final height  Pass/fail criteria TEST PROCEDURE- ALTITUDE <700 Ft.<800 Ft. Desired Range
