For their senior rocket project, the students designed a solid rocket propellant that would accelerate the rocket to 100 feet per second without being unstable. They tested over a dozen mixtures using various catalysts and ultimately selected an iron oxide catalyst based on multi-scale testing results. The propellant was packed into tubes, cut into grains after setting, weighed, and paired in motors to keep mass equal for testing, which measured pressure values from a sensor using a DATAQ sampler and custom mounting rigs.
