Tiger 1
Overview
Tiger 1 serves as a multirole introductory rocket for new members of the University School of Nashville Rocket Club as well as campers at Blast Off! summer camp. Tiger 1’s size allows it to be safely flown on smaller motors within the confines of University School of Nashville’s Midtown Nashville campus while also allowing it to be flown on more powerful motors at larger fields. Due to its mostly 3D-printed structure, the rocket can also be outfitted with a camera bay for in flight photography purposes such as flying as a chase rocket for larger vehicles!
