ULSS (Ultra-light space shuttle)

THE CHALLENGE: Print My Rocket
Technology

Design a rocket that could be built in place inside one of the four bays of the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) at Kennedy Space Center, which is 525 ft (160 m) tall. Utilize additive manufacturing (aka 3D printing) where possible, considering which materials might be able to be used and which ones may have to be brought in already manufactured.

Explanation

our design was built on a new material called micro-lattice this material will replace 70% of previous rocket models where its only 99% of the weight of air making the rocket lighter and compatible with a much less for the need of power so we could use lighter engines. we also put a few other modifications like using the new 3-d technology that is called projection micro-sterolithography which is a new fabrication tecnology used to print models with metals and more complex materials.
