Hi everyone, So far, we're still "go" for an October 12th launch but it's going to be extremely close. Here's some info and status update:
- We'll be launching at OregonRocketry's "Rocketober" launch (http://www.oregonrocketry.com/) in Brothers, Oregon. Peter will help us coordinate with them, since the waiver is in their name. - The airframe is almost done. Lots of detail work to be done, but we have an aeroshell, airframe, nosecone, etc. The one big unknown is the recovery system. We're working as hard as we can on this, but there's a *lot* to do for this system, and it has to be done "right". - We won't have much avionics on this flight. We have a commercial recovery computer that we bought for firing the recovery system, and we may have some on-board video recording, but that's it. We'll focus on avionics this winter, for a 2009 launch. In terms of up coming schedule: - We need to schedule a ground systems day as soon as possible; Sunday the 21st may be a good day for that, if that works for everyone's schedules. - Wednesday October 1st is the meeting we'll make our "go/no go" decision.
