UKAYRoCThe challenge for UKAYRoC 2008 was announced by Phil Charlesworth at the UKRA AGM on Saturday 14th July 2007. As in 2007 the challenge is aimed at teams of 3-5 students from years 7-13, with a supervising adult. The detailed rules will be posted on the UKAYRoC website, www.ukayroc.org.uk, in the next few days.

For those who can't wait to get started, the challenge for UKAYRoC 2008 is to build a rocket to meet the following mission:

1. It must lift a payload of two medium eggs and an Alt15K altimeter.
2. The apogee must be exactly 750 feet.
3. The required flight duration is 45 seconds from first movement of the rocket to the moment when the egg compartment lands.
4. Only single stage rockets will be allowed

It is intended to allow 80 teams enter UKAYRoC 2008, and to aim for a fly-off of 20 teams. If you'd like to take part in UKAYRoC 2008 then contact the helpdesk via www.ukayroc.org.uk.
