Applications for the 2006 Challenge will be available beginning September 7, 2005, and the deadline for applications is November 15, 2005. This year's Challenge is to design, build, and fly a model rocket carrying a raw egg and return it safely to the ground while staying aloft for exactly 45 seconds and reaching an altitude of 800 feet. If your score is one of the 100 best, you will be invited to compete for a share of the $60,000 prize package at the 2006 National Finals at Great Meadow, in The Plains, Virginia, on May 20, 2006.
