Cornell Rocketry Team (CRT) is a student-led engineering project team at Cornell University. Consisting of students from four different colleges within the university, CRT strives to push the limits on high-power rocketry and build innovative payloads. The team is currently preparing to compete in the 2019 Spaceport America Cup.
As part of the team's educational series on high-power rocketry, members build and launch Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 high-power rockets. Most local launches occur as part of Upstate Research Rocketry Group (URRG), sanctioned as Tripoli Rocketry Association (TRA) Prefecture #139 and National Association of Rocketry (NAR) Section #765.
CRT's faculty advisor is Professor Douglas MacMartin and the team's faculty mentor is Daniel Sheerer.
The current team leads are Yash Sahota (CS '20) and Matt Schneider (MechE '21).
For information on the current competition and systems, go to SA Cup 2018-2019.
A note to all wiki editors: remember that this page is public. Do not post links to internal CRT items on this page.
Contents
Expectations of Team Members
As a competitive project team, CRT holds its members to high standards. Below are some of the basic expectations of being a CRT member.
A more detailed rundown can be found on the Expectations page.
General Expectations
All team members must:
- maintain a positive working environment
- meet deadlines assigned to them
- not be on another project team while they are an active member of CRT
- attend the weekly all team meeting unless exempted by the team leads
- work in accordance to the amount of credit hours they have signed up for
- fill out a weekly progress report form
- write about their contributions to the team on the wiki
Communication
- All team members should check their email regularly
- All team members check slack regularly
- Be sure to turn on notifications
Team Structure
CRT maintains a functional team structure, consisting of six subteams in addition to the team leads. For more information on each subteam, follow the links below.
Some subteams are deprecated, but their results live on.
Competitions
For information on the current competition and systems, go to SA Cup 2018-2019.
For information on the SA Cup in general, go to Spaceport America Cup.
NASA Student Launch
In the past, CRT has competed in the NASA University Student Launch competition. The team has transitioned to the SA Cup due to it's greater focus on creative freedom and results.
For information on previous years, follow the links below.
Documentation
Documentation, while not a very glamorous task, is nonetheless a critical aspect of engineering. It guides the design process, helps ensure that everyone is on the same page, and provides a reference for the future. As such, every system that CRT develops is extensively documented throughout its production cycle. The documentation is split between this wiki and external documents written using ShareLaTeX.
With the transition to SA Cup, CRT's documentation has been drastically revamped to reflect the needs of the team and the competition. For more details on the new documentation structure, see Documentation.
Documentation from Previous Years
The NASA SL required that a number of reports be submitted throughout the year leading up to the competition. The size of these reports and the effort they required was one of the primary motivators for switching to SA Cup.
Nonetheless, they provide a comprehensive look at previous systems, as well as a good reference for what technical documentation should look like. To read them, follow the links below.
