On World Space Week, students from the Kautilya Aerospace Club achieved a thrilling feat by designing, testing, and successfully launching custom-engineered miniature rockets from the campus sports ground. The event brought textbook aerodynamics and propulsion physics vibrantly to life.
Under the mentorship of Atal Tinkering Lab trainers, students calculated centre-of-pressure and centre-of-mass, 3D-printed nose cones, calibrated parachute recovery modules, and tracked altitude using electronic altimeter telemetry. The entire student body erupted in cheers as each rocket soared hundreds of feet into the blue Mysuru sky.
Developmental & Educational Outcomes
- Practical mastery of propulsion physics, center of mass, and drag coefficients
- Hardware prototyping, digital fabrication, and safety protocol adherence
- Igniting aerospace and astronomical engineering career aspirations
