Tripoli Level 2 Technical Certification TestCurrent Score: 0/1 (0%) What is a shred? | A: | A failure of the rocket air frame during boost resulting in destruction of the rocket. | | B: | A failure of the recovery system during boost. | | C: | A failure of the motor causing early ejection. |
The correct answer is A. A shred happens when the rocket is improperly built or has a rocket motor too powerful for that particular rocket. The typical shred sequence is that the velocity of the rocket has increased to a point where airframe, fins or other structural parts cannot take the loads. When that part fails, it typically causes the rocket to become unstable resulting in the rapid destruction of the rocket.
