Put ideas to the test
Towards real flight
Rocket engineering is one of PSI's core areas of practice. We connect design, manufacturing, testing and flight, documenting the process through our work and field records.
Workbench assembly, ground preparation and flight validation are connected stages of this work. Each deserves a record and offers lessons for the next attempt.
Our process
This outlines our practical process. Individual project records describe their progress and results.
Build
Turn designs into structures and assemblies, documenting the build.
Test
Record test observations and results to guide revisions.
Flight validation
Test the work in real conditions and assess it through flight records.
Confirmed milestone
