Welcome
Welcome to the University of North Dakota Frozen Fury Rocket Team website. We have been accepted into Marshall Space Flight Center's Rocket Competition (USLI) and we are well on our way to a sucessful event! This year marks our fifth consecutive participation in the University Student Launch Initiative. We hope to continue to build upon our experience and success to build our best rocket yet.

The 2011-2012 Frozen Fury Rocket proposal has been accepted by the Marshall Space Flight Center for the University Student Launch Initiative. The Frozen Fury team will work throughout the year to reach design and safety milestones established by NASA with the ultimate goal of launching at Bragg Farms in Toney, Alabama on May 21. This is Frozen Fury's fifth consecutive acceptance to the USLI project.
Our scientific payload for this year's USLI competition proposes to collect video data of a solid rocket motor burn in-flight. The purpose of this project is to study how high acceleration may affect the rate at which the propellant burns, as compared to the motor burning on the ground without acceleration. Aerotech's new transparent I350 motor will be used to accomplish this. Data collection will be done with a series of high-speed digital cameras.
