Poster Title Abstract The mission of the Terra Nova Project is to design and manufacture a high-powered rocket able to successfully carry and deploy the HAUS payload, the Terra Inquisitor. The Terra Inquisitor will be designed and fabricated to collect and test a sample of soil for pH within 15 minutes of landing. This will be achieved with commercially available and in-house manufactured components. The design of the recovery system is to safely reach ground level within 80 seconds of apogee. The safety of the landing is based on all individual rocket sections sustaining no more than 65 ft-lb of energy without causing irreparable damage. The design and manufacturing of all recovery system components shall meet all specified safety criteria and NASA launch rules and guidelines. Custom bulkheads will be used to absorb forces imparted on the recovery system and manufactured using the new form of additive manufacturing, 3D metal printing.
