Today was like a fireman's drill for rocket launches. Got 2 L1' certs off successfully but only launched four of the 8 planned L2 certs. Did fire a 2 in and 3 in student-made propellant motors in commercial rocket tubes. Perfect flights. However, the student build rocket motor casing versions were overly ambitious and both overpressuized. Also did two tube launches which worked out very well. We unfortunately didn’t get time to launch the 4in min diameter rocket before it clouded over then and the winds picked up. Onwards and upwards for next year. If my typing is off it is because I arrived back in Seattle at 3:45 am. That is it for this year.
Please contact Dr. Winglee for more information on student opportunities, funding projects, or contracting the lab's technology.
