Résumé
The AISES (American Indian Science and Engineering Society) team at the University of Waterloo is designing, testing, and fabricating a rocket that will fly to 2000 ft above ground level, then deploy a lander that will parachute back to the ground. The lander will carry a GPS/tracking system and a camera, which will provide a video recording of the landing. The rocket and payload will be designed to meet all requirements outlined by the “First Nations Launch (FNL) Moon Challenge” for the 2023-24 competition. The competition will be held in Wisconsin, where the team will work with and compete against other Indigenous student teams from across Turtle Island. Participating in this competition will help team members gain experience with collaboration, teamwork, and the application of technical skills to real-world space projects.

Description (French)
L'équipe AISES (American Indian Science and Engineering Society) de l’université de Waterloo conçoit, teste et fabrique une fusée qui volera jusqu’à 2000 pieds au-dessus du sol, puis déploiera un atterrisseur qui retombera en parachute. L'atterrisseur sera équipé d'un système GPS/ système de localisation et d'une caméra qui fournira un enregistrement vidéo de l'atterrissage. La fusée et la charge utile seront conçues pour répondre à toutes les exigences du « First Nations Launch (FNL) Moon Challenge » pour la compétition de 2023-24. La compétition aura lieu dans le Wisconsin, où l'équipe travaillera et se mesurera à d'autres équipes d'étudiants autochtones de toute part de l'île de la Tortue. La participation à cette compétition aidera les membres de l'équipe à acquérir de l'expérience en matière de collaboration, de travail d'équipe et d'application de compétences techniques à des projets spatiaux concrets.
