Atlas 8

This document summarizes the design of a two-stage rocket. The first stage is powered by an F50T-9 motor and has a mass of 388g. It has a stability of 1.9 calibers and a center of gravity 66.2cm from the nose. The second unpowered stage deploys a 50g payload at an altitude of 448m and velocity of 17.4m/s. Detailed specifications are provided for components of each stage including body tubes, fins, engines, and parachutes.
