Testing Plan

The rocket prototype was tested to ensure that the performance of the rocket met the customer requirements and the design specifications. A failure of just one subsystem of the rocket could potentially destroy the entire prototype. This high risk nature of a high power rocket requires extensive and thorough testing so that there will be confidence of the rockets performance on launch day. The high level block diagram of the units/ subsystems under test with interfaces is shown below. A majority of testing will be centered on the recovery of the rocket. This function requires the most moving parts and occurs in multiple stages.
