Hi everyone! We decided this weekend to push back Launch 13 by two weeks to April 22nd, 2018. We've done this for many reasons:
- We're not quite ready for 4/8. We could be ready by a really narrow margin, but we'd rather be slower and cautious for this first flight of LV3. This gives us an extra two weeks for testing, which is exactly what we need. - That weekend is Oregon Rocketry's "AP Showers" [1] event, which means the FAA waiver and insurance coverage is taken care of for us. - Flying at AP Showers will be a fun for those never having been to an amateur rocket launch. There will be dozens (?) of amateur rocket launches while we get set up for ours. We hope you can still make it! In the mean time, here's the current schedule: - Sat March 24th, 10am - 5pm: LV3 hack day in the rocket room. - Sun April 8th 11am - 3pm: Integration testing day at Dave's house. - April 21-22: Launch 13 in Brother's, OR, with a target launch time of 10am Sunday morning the 22nd. Take care, Andrew [1] "AP" as in Ammonium Perchlorate, the oxidizer in composite solid rocket propellants. -- ------------------------------------------------------- Andrew Greenberg Electrical and Computer Engineering Portland State University http://www.ece.pdx.edu/ a...@ece.pdx.edu C: 503.708.7711 ------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ 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.
