A single-stage model rocket engineered to carry a fragile dual-egg payload to an apogee of 800 feet.

STOP AI GENERATE README
I have designed a rocket that will fly 800.52 Feet up in the air (244 m) while carrying 2 eggs, and it’ll be able to land on the ground without either egg cracking.
Starting off, I picked an Ogive nose cone as it provides the optimal aerodynamic settings for this application. I decided to print this out of PLA.
As for my body, I have 2 sections: an upper body that stores the eggs, and a lower body that stores the parachute, shock cord, and electronics. Both the upper and lower body are made out of cardboard.
I have a transition connecting the two sections, which is also going to be printed out of PLA.
As for the fins, I went with 3 trapezoidal fins, and they work together to keep the rocket upright and in proper motion.
The motor that the rocket is going to be running off of is an Aerotech F23FJ motor.
Attached is the full design of the rocket, simulations for speed, apogee, flight time, as well as other statistics, and a 3d model for it.
