SystemsGo is a program designed to promote the study of engineering and the development of work force skills. It encourages students to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and mechanics.

SystemsGo is the program and curriculum provided to be used in classrooms across the United States. It is based in Fredericksburg, Texas. It allows students to learn more about the past, present, and future of rocket technology, as well as using information learned from independent study to complete hands-on projects.

Annual Rocket Meet

Every spring, teams from high schools all over the US gather in at several sites to launch their semester project rockets. The program offers high school students three different levels of projects, ranging from a mid-sized rocket traveling to a one mile apogee to rockets weighing several hundred pounds with the potential to reach near-space altitudes.

Program Levels

Tsiolkovsky Level : The first stage of the Program, named after the Soviet rocket scientist Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, requires students to propel a research package to an altitude of 5,280 feet (one mile) and to recover it after launch.

Oberth Level : The intermediate stage, named after the German physicist Hermann Oberth, gives students the goal of designing and launching a rocket able to reach transonic velocity while maintaining a maximum altitude of less than 13,000 feet.

Goddard Level : The most advanced level, named after the American engineer and rocket scientist Robert H. Goddard, challenges students to create a rocket from scratch that can reach an altitude of 100,000 feet, which is considered to fall within the near space region of Earth’s atmosphere. Rockets for this level are often several hundred pounds and can reach velocities of Mach 3 or even Mach 4. Launches for this level are hosted by the US Army at the White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico.

Recognition

The SystemsGo program has been recognized and supported by such organizations as SpaceX, Dow Chemical, Boeing, NASA, The Space Foundation, universities, and individuals.[1]
