The Portland State Aerospace Society (http://psas.pdx.edu/) is pleased to announce that we are on target for a Sunday July 31st launch of our rocket, 'Launch Vehicle No. 2.3', outside of Brothers, Oregon.
This will be the fourth launch on this airframe, flying on an CTI N2850 motor. This should propel our 12 foot high, 70 pound aluminum and fiberglass rocket to an altitude of over 15,000 feet! This time we are testing a new flight computer and new antennas. We will also be flying the same roll control module from the last flight (see: http://psas.pdx.edu/news/2010-10-17-2/ ). We'll be departing Portland Saturday July 30th for Brothers (which is about 40 miles east of Bend, Oregon) and setting up in the late afternoon. We plan to launch on Sunday between noon and 2:00pm, which should allow some to make a day trip out of the launch, although it is more than four hours one way from Portland to Brothers. If you are interested drop us a line at i...@psas.pdx.edu. The Oregon Rocketry club is generously allowing us to use their launch site. They have directions on their site here: http://www.oregonrocketry.com/?page_id=78 If you aren't planning on coming, you can follow our progress on our official twitter page: http://twitter.com/#!/pdxaerospace Keep an eye out for updates after the launch to see pictures and watch video of the flight! -PSAS _______________________________________________ psas-team mailing list psas-team@lists.psas.pdx.edu http://lists.psas.pdx.edu/mailman/listinfo/psas-team This list's membership is automatically generated from the memberships of the psas-airframe, psas-avionics, and psas-general mail lists.
