Material Girl

"Experience has made me rich and now they're after me"

GTXR's fourth rocket, Material Girl, launched from the FAR launch complex in Mojave, CA on July 8th, 2023. Powered by two P-class SRAD (Student Researched and Developed) solid rocket motors, she utilized design and manufacturing improvements gained from our experience with Mr. Blue Sky to reach higher altitudes and achieve Q-class total impulse. Material Girl was simulated to reach an apogee of 220,000 feet, although due to issues with staging, her nosecone deployed immediately, and hot-staging began at takeoff. Due to these issues, Material Girl reached an apogee of 30,000 feet, attesting to GTXR's propulsive capabilities in spite of our avionics setbacks.
