1. Mission Name Brain Storming:
- JORD-X – a modern, tech-sounding name combining Jordan and exploration.
- Al-Haitham-1 – Arabic name for a young eagle, meaningful and authentic. ✅
- Ram Rocket – nod to Wadi Rum, catchy and easy to remember.

3 .Photo Gathering
- Jordanian Flag: Proudly included to symbolize the national identity and cultural heritage of Jordan.
- Wadi Rum Desert: Featured in the background to represent the iconic and historic Jordanian landscape.
- Fab Logo (Red, Green, Blue-sky): Chosen to reflect the core colors of the Fab Academy logo, tying the mission to its academic foundation.
- Red Ground Base: A strong red layer under the rocket represents crown prince foundation, strength, and liftoff origin.
- Rocket Flame: Added beneath the rocket to express motion, thrust, and the fiery energy of takeoff.
- Rocket Shape (Jordanian Eagle Inspired): Designed with a sharp and pointy look, reflecting the speed, focus, and pride of the Jordanian eagle.
- White Star: Included from the Jordanian flag to honor its symbolism and connect the mission to the nation.
4 .Chat GPT Ideas (Text to 2D)
I’d like your help designing a mission patch logo. As shown in the reference image I provided, I’ve gathered some inspiration and have a clear vision for the design. I want the patch to reflect Jordan — incorporating the Jordanian flag colors, and ideally, a desert landscape in the center. It would be great to include the map of Jordan in the background, with a rocket launching from it. Around the patch’s border, I’d like the mission name, “Al-Haitham 1,” along with a mention of Fab Academy and the Maker Space I’m working from. I also want to include stars in the background to represent space. If possible, I’d love for the rocket to appear as if it’s launching out of the patch in a 3D style, with visible thrust flames to enhance the dynamic look.

Open Rocket (Simulation)
Simulation
To achieve this, we followed a procedure where each rocket part was individually fabricated, weighed, and then added to the simulation model. Only after feeding all component weights into OpenRocket could we analyze performance and make informed design decisions.
After being introduced to the OpenRocket simulation program, I realized the importance of maintaining a precise workflow between fabrication and simulation. In a rocket lab, it’s critical to input the exact weight of each component to ensure accurate flight predictions and stability.
So far, we have incorporated several key parts into the system, excluding the main body tubes. The rocket design includes two tubes (76 cm and 38 cm) forming a one-stage configuration, a center ring, a motor mount, and a shock cord that connects the two tubes. Additionally, a shock cord hook is used to securely tie all components together.
Each part was designed, fabricated, and documented separately before entering its specifications into the simulation. This process helped us verify structural and flight accuracy at every step.
