Overview

Objectives/Goals The objective of this project is to verify the manufacturers specifications on maximum thrust, minimum thrust, and impulse. Methods/Materials Using a GLX Explorer I measured the maximum thrust, minimum thrust, and impulse. The set up I used, included, mounting a rocket engine onto a bracket connected to the force sensor which is connected to the GLX Explorer. Results The results were not exact with the manufacturers specifications because of error due to the equipment used. Conclusions/Discussion My results were within the margin or range of the manufacturers given specifications.
