RPL

Huge manufacturing progress on injector. Completed manufacturing of combustion chamber and nozzle. Looking to begin test campaign soon . Our onboarding project have also made significant progress with the soft gas lander in testing. We are also developing a new nitrogen pressurant system for easier test ops.

 

We began the engine sizing process for CPLC Saturday. This is the first phase of the engine design process.

USLI

 

  • Finished machining all components for the vehicle (just got the fin slots done) and are beginning to assemble the rocket including epoxy

  • Carbon fiber sheets are cut for payload and they’re beautiful

  • This week USLI is focusing on building the rocket to be ready for launch on Friday and testing and assembling payload components

SmallSat

 

  • Continued work on ADCS system - still no dice.

  • Inspected new ICs for battery protection circuit and temperature sensors.

Rocketry

 

BIC Open House on Tuesday, February 6th 5:30-6:30!

Rocketry Bay Clean Up Day on Wednesday, February 7th, at 5:00PM!

We have the opportunity to volunteer at the Terre Haute Children's Museum on Saturday, February 10th and (maybe also) Saturday, February 17th. Please come and help inspire some kids to pursue rocketry too!

We were thinking of having a table and showing off some of the hardware that we have built including a few of our rockets, a small liquid rocket engine and, and in progress satellite hardware.

Some of the topics we were thinking of sharing with visitors:

  • Our journeys into aerospace and how we got involved.

  • The projects our club is pursuing (rockets, satellites, liquid engines).

  • The engineering activity happening at Rose-Hulman.

  • What they can do to get involved and advice as they go through their middle school and eventually high school journeys.
