Team America Rocketry Challenge
What is TARC?
Team America Rocketry Challenge (TARC) is an aerospace design and engineering event for teams of US secondary school students (7th through 12th grades) run by the NAR and the Aerospace Industries Association (AIA). Teams can be sponsored by schools or by non-profit youth organizations such as Scouts, 4-H, or Civil Air Patrol (but not the NAR or other rocketry organizations). The goal of TARC is to motivate students to pursue aerospace as an exciting career field, and it is co-sponsored by the American Association of Physics Teachers, 4-H, the Department of Defense, and NASA. The event involves designing and building a model rocket (3.3 pounds or less, using NAR-certified model rocket motors) that carries a payload of 2 Grade A Large eggs for a precise flight duration of 45 seconds, and to an altitude of exactly 750 feet (measured by an onboard altimeter), and that then returns the eggs to earth uncracked.
