Rockets

WTS-RKT-005
AV1

A rocket designed by a 7-year-old and CAD'd by a first-timer, flying West-Tek's first onboard camera package — and surviving a pre-launch fracture along the way.

Body Dia: 76.2mm Filament: PETG Motor: F50T, 29mm Parachute
Completed
WTS-RKT-004
Super Stratus

The successor to the Stratus, built on a simulation-first workflow: OpenRocket design, Fusion 360 CAD, PETG carbon-fiber airframe, and West-Tek's first flights on composite motors.

Body Dia: 65mm Filament: PETG-CF Motor: F/G, 29mm Parachute
Completed
WTS-RKT-003
Stratus

West-Tek's transition to mid-power rocketry. A fully 3D-printed PETG vehicle supporting 24 mm motors with onboard barometric telemetry, flight-tested at SARA in Arizona.

Body Dia: 41.6mm Filament: PETG Motor: Estes D/E, 24mm Parachute
Completed
WTS-RKT-002
Stratum

The Stratum Program explores the viability of 3D-printed polymers in model rocketry through iterative launch and recovery testing, culminating in an improved fin-can design and thicker body walls.

Body Dia: 25mm Filament: PETG Motor: Estes B6-4, 18mm Parachute
Completed
WTS-RKT-001
Gnat 1

Prototype 3D-printed rockets powered by the Estes A3-4T engine. Tested launch procedures, recovery systems, and the essentials of 3D-printed rocketry.

Body Dia: 13mm (Min. Dia.) Filament: PLA Motor: 1/2A3-4T, 13mm Tumble Recovery
