Performance
There is no limit to how model rocketry can teach our young people. As much
as we enrich our classroom STEM lessons, the payoffs for our efforts are
often more conspicuously found outside of school (on the flying field)
rather than on the obligatory standardized test. I'm impressed and happy
that the winner of TARC this year is a 4-H club. In our Inspiring Others
section below, a cadet has written a remarkable report on how to use
rocketry in a CAP squadron

like rockets, and summer camps are a blast when they fly them. All of these
students are applying their skills and learning the relevance of science and
engineering as they fly rockets through their respective organizations.
Informal education is still education, and I applaud those of you who are
supporting these groups and wish you well this summer. It's working.
Aim high!

GIa-WTYm> is the world's largest rocket contest, sponsored by the
Aerospace Industries Association (AIA) and the National Association of
Rocketry in partnership with AAPT, DoD, NASA, and AIA member companies.
TARC 2013 is completed and the winners have been named. Congratulations to
Georgetown 4-H from Georgetown, TX for finishing in first place at the TARC
2013 Finals on May 11 -- and for finishing in first place as well in the
Presentation Competition event at the Finals. In addition to their cash
prize of $9,500 for themselves and $2000 for their 4-H group, the three
students on the Georgetown 4-H team will be traveling to Paris in June as
the guests of the Raytheon Company to fly against the winners of the
TARC-equivalent event in the UK and France at the Paris Air Show, which will
be the biggest aerospace show and exhibition in the world for 2013. For
complete competition results and high-resolution images contact
rocketcontest at aia-aerospace.org.
Congratulations as well to the other top 10 teams who shared the rest of the
$60,000 overall cash prize pool, and to all the teams who flew well enough
in local qualification flights to come to the TARC 2013 Finals. Any TARC
team that made it to the Finals represented a highly successful combined
effort of students, teachers, parents, and NAR mentors that can be proud of
their achievements. Any team that completed a TARC 2013 qualification
flight met all the educational and NAR outreach goals of the TARC program,
even if they did not come to the Finals.
We were delighted this year to have as our principal speaker at the Finals
award ceremony the Administrator of NASA, General Charlie Bolden. We had as
our guests at the Finals the team from Noshiro High School in Noshiro, Japan
that had won the Japanese TARC event. They flew their rocket with the US
teams. We hope to see the Japanese winners at the international fly-off in
future years.
We also used an alternate team at the Finals for the first time in a while.
The #1 alternate (St Vincent St Mary HS of Akron Ohio) was called Tuesday
morning of Finals week when an opening suddenly appeared, had their travel
booked in two hours, and finished 13th! This is indicative of the depth of
talent and enthusiasm throughout the ranks of all the teams that entered
TARC. 735 teams (our most since 2003, and representing over 4000 students)
entered TARC 2013 from 44 states, 470 made at least one qualification flight
attempt (our most ever), and the 100 teams that came to the Finals
represented 29 states plus the US Virgin Islands.
Rocketry "ignites" students' interest and understanding for what they learn
in these fields in the classroom in a way that few other activities can do.
When we offer a national program that offers hands-on mentoring at the local
level by expert volunteers (that's our NAR TARC Mentors) and culminates with
a highly-organized, professionally-run Finals event (thanks to the 105 NAR
range crew that made this happen), we can truly make a difference, and we
are. Thank you for what each of you contributed to TARC 2013 as a publicist
and mentor. This is "paying forward" on a scale that would have made Harry
Stine proud, and in a way that is perfectly aligned with one of the most
important missions of the NAR -- educational outreach.
This year we released the rules for the next year's TARC challenge at the
end of the awards ceremony. Key elements of the challenge are:
* Payload is two eggs (any orientation)
* Altitude goal is 825 feet, duration goal is the same (48-50 seconds)
* Weight and power limits, and altimeters, are the same
* All parts of the rocket must return connected together, using two
separate but identically-sized parachutes for recovery
* Selection for the Finals will be based on the sum of the best two
qualification flight reports submitted by a team by March 31, not on the
basis of the single best
* Three qualification flight attempts are permitted, and if one is
submitted by March 2 a bonus (deduction) of 1 point will be assigned to the
team's score when computing the sum-of-two combined score for Finals
selection, even if this early flight is not one of the two scores used
The TARC Finals are a great experience! In addition to the challenges and
companionship of being one of the top 100 teams competing for a share of
the prize
package in a national fly-off, NASA invites the top 25 teams to participate
in their Student Launch Initiative, an advanced rocketry program

UK National Rocketry Challenge
A team of five students aged between 14 and 15 yesterday successfully
competed with some of the best young science talent to become 2013 winners
of the UK Aerospace Youth Rocketry Challenge (UKAYRoC) and will go forward
to the international championship in Paris.
Each of the 20 competing teams was required to design, construct and
successfully launch a rocket to an altitude of 750 feet containing a raw
hen's egg, which then had to return safely to earth. The rockets were
launched yesterday at an event hosted on a special site in Farnborough,
Hampshire.
With a height of 732 feet and a duration of 44.78 seconds, The Royal Liberty
School rocket had a winning score of 30.88 points and the team will now face
the US and French champions at the International fly-off event on the 21st
June at the Paris Airshow.
Paul Everitt, chief executive of aerospace trade organization, ADS group
said: "The Rocketry Challenge is a unique initiative to ignite enthusiasm
for our sectors from some of the brightest young talent across the UK. It's
a tough competition but the rocket launches today have been really
impressive. I would like to congratulate everyone that took part today and I
look forward to seeing The Royal Liberty School team at the international
final at the Paris Airshow."
The challenge provides secondary school student teams (three to five
members), aged between 11 and 18 with a realistic experience in designing a
flying aerospace vehicle that meets a specified set of mission and
performance requirements. Students are required to work together in teams,
just as aerospace engineers do. The challenge is not intended to be easy,
but it is well within the capabilities of secondary school students with a
good background in science and math, and some craftsmanship skills.
Matthew Batson, Luke Chandler, Dumitru Vulper, Chandler Benstock and Josh
Compton from The Royal Liberty School will represent the UK at the
International Rocketry Challenge against the US and French winning teams at
the Paris Airshow in June. They also win an all-expenses paid trip to
Disneyland Paris and an exclusive tour of the Airbus A380 facility in
Toulouse.
UK final competition runners up were as follows:
2nd Prize - 1114 (Gosforth) ATC Squadron
3rd Prize - Whitley Bay High School
4th Prize - Abbeyfield School (team 2)
5th Prize - Airedale Academy
Best Innovation - Whitley Bay High School
Best Static Display - Victoria College (Team 2)

2013 French National Rocketry Challenge
There were 27 teams competing to represent France in the International
Rocketry Challenge on the 21st of June at the Paris Airshow.
Each of the competing teams attempted to design, construct and successfully
launch a rocket to an altitude of 750 feet containing a raw hen's egg.
48-50 seconds was the target time for safely returning to Earth.
With a height of 801 feet and a duration of 53.70 seconds, AJSEP (a youth
aerospace club from Bordeaux in the Aquitaine region of France) won top
honors!

Estes Educator Newsletter
The National Aerospace Training and Research (NASTAR) Center, located about
50 minutes by car from the city of Philadelphia, is offering teacher
development programs at no cost to teachers through its non-profit NASTAR
Foundation.
NASTAR's teacher programming emphasis is on fun, experience-based learning
that provides teachers with practical tools and activities that they can
apply in a classroom environment. Teachers can experience a 3-G suborbital
spaceflight simulation in the NASTAR Center centrifuge, ascend to 8,000 feet
in the altitude chamber, or learn how airplanes are controlled while
piloting the GAT II simulator. The NASTAR Center has added two new teacher
professional development programs: "The Atmosphere and Weather"
and"Exploring the Solar System" for this summer.
The NASTAR Center is an approved provider of Act 48 continuing education
hours by the Pennsylvania Department of Education. Each program is worth 8
hours of continuing education.
Programs are offered at no cost to teachers. If you are coming from out of
town, they have arranged a meal/room package at a special rate at an area
hotel. For enrollment information, contact Greg Kennedy at (215) 355-9100, X

ovE552k_e0jNd-Rlvsk=> (RWDC), an annual high school competition aimed at
increasing the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM)
workforce.
Embry-Riddle will award up to seven $50,000 scholarships - $12,500 annually
per student - to winners of the national competition who attend the
university, and its professors will serve as mentors to high school teams
and as judges in future national-level challenges.
The agreement, starting with the competition in 2014, expands Embry-Riddle's
continuing efforts to encourage young people to pursue technical careers.
Embry-Riddle is the only university formal partner in the competition in
which teams of high school students and their teachers try to solve an
engineering challenge faced by industry, one in aviation and one in ground
transportation. Students first compete in a state-level Governor's Cup and
then each state's best team competes in the national finals in Washington
DC.
"Through this partnership we plan on making the Real World Design Challenge
opportunity available to all secondary students in the United States.
Embry-Riddle is critical in helping us achieve this goal," said Ralph K.
Coppola, founder of Real World Design Challenge and president of RKC
International. "Embry-Riddle's expertise in aviation will better help us
prepare students for careers in this critical area."
"Having been a national blue ribbon judge since the first Real World Design
Challenge, I know that these students are awesome. With guidance from
teachers and mentors, they take an actual design issue from concept to an
engineering solution," said Bob Mansfield, executive director of the Center
for Aviation and Aerospace Leadership at Embry-Riddle. "This sponsorship
gives hundreds of high school students who want to be in the aerospace
industry a chance to participate in the RWDC, learn about our exceptional
university and have access to our faculty as mentors."
