summary
A volunteer team prototypes a backyard rocket from SolidWorks models to a 3D printed nose cone, using potassium nitrate and sugar propellant and off‑the‑shelf parts; four static engine tests yield three failures then two successes, the assembled rocket reaches about 3 km, onboard electronics and guidance survive, parachute deploys and the vehicle is recovered.
