Aurora-5
Special Mention Award!
By: St. Andrews TARC Team #3370 - Park Ridge Rocketeers
Team Leader: Leonard Johnson
Members: Michael Cinquino, AJ Witzke, Michael Williamson
| Although the Aurora-5 didn't win this month, we felt that a special mention
was warranted with regards to the design, the team that designed it and the constest that
nurtured it. This team did an incredible job in designing a model rocket to meet the
needs of a specific mission. The fact that they came very close to meeting the
parameters of that mission (being off only a couple of seconds) is a testament to the work
that they did. Further, all of the teams that participated in the TARC (Team America
Rocketry Challenge) deserve to be recognized for the work that they have accomplished.
Finally, the founders and sponsors of the TARC deserve their own special
recognition for bringing about an event that stretches the imagination and brings science
into the "sports arena", as it were. Great job all around and
congratulations to the Park Ridge Rocketeers for a job well done! |
| Now, THIS is a
privilege. A Team America Rocketry Challenge (TARC) entry! I am thrilled to be
able to post this entry. The team has this
message with their entry:
Dear Fliskits,
Here is a photo of our AURORA-4 rocket leaving the launch rod. We are entering this rocket
in your May 2005 design of the month contest. We will send more photos and we also send
out a packet in the mail today with drawings, photos, stickers and news articles. Thank
you.

This is
all of us being recognized at the Adler Planetarium last week for it's 75th anniversary
and us going to the TARC Finals. In the photo are our Prime rocket on launch rod to the
right. Backup rocket on table and the Adler rocket to launch for it's 75th anniversary.
Capt. James Lovell signed this rocket for us later that day! COOL. |

Here we
are being honored by the Adler President for our rocket design accomplishments. |
