Team grows

SARP now comprises of about 30 undergraduates. The team was able to initiate USEED crowd-funding and raise ~$16K in addition to ~$8K from local industries. New design implementations include:
  • motor redesigned to prevent burn out
  • Parachutes designed & fabricated in-house by students (Melanie)
  • New composite airframe designed & fabricated
  • Payload development coordinated with local company & high school
Test launch at Mansfield, WA, reached the 4000 feet AGL. Unfortunately, the rocket encountered a motor insulation failure and only reached the ~2200 feet AGL at IREC.
