Official information
UKROC’s documents take precedence
This is a simplified Launch 4 Change guide. UKROC maintains the formal brief and competition documents, so always follow the current documents published by UKROC if anything differs.
Before you design
Pull out the requirements that shape your rocket
Read the current brief as a team and record the altitude target, flight-duration target, payload requirements, size and mass limits, permitted materials, motor rules, recovery requirements, scoring method and deadlines.
Turn each requirement into a short checklist. If a requirement is unclear, check the official handbook and ask UKROC before making a design decision.
