Structure & Designing Department
This department builds the "body" of the rocket. They ensure the vehicle is lightweight enough to fly but strong enough to withstand the violent forces of atmospheric exit.
Aerodynamics: Designing the external shape of the rocket (fins, nose cone, and fairings) to minimize drag and maintain stability.
Material Science: Selecting advanced materials like aluminum alloys, titanium, and carbon fiber composites to balance strength-to-weight ratios.
Structural Integrity: Using CAD (Computer-Aided Design) and FEA (Finite Element Analysis) to simulate how the rocket will handle vibration, acoustic loads, and thermal stress.
Payload Integration: Ensuring that the satellite or "payload" is safely housed in the fairing and can be deployed accurately once in space.
