This project describes the design, analysis, assembly and simulation of a single stage model rocket systems, one designed with traditional subsystems for structural, avionics, combustion chamber and recovery integrated to give a desired altitude. The analysis was based on using Rocksim 9.6 to model the different parts that made up a rocket. Aluminium was used for designing the nose cone, the fuselage and the fin set. The combustion chamber, clamps, and nozzle were designed by making use of steel. Because of the high temperature and pressure being generated from the combustion of propellant, steel was suggested. The main and drogue parachutes were designed using tubular Kevlar. And the bulk-head was designed using Basswood. For the recovering of the rocket after launch, main and drogue parachutes were incorporated into the fuselages.
