OUR BIGGEST ROCKET EVER!
Chungus Maximus is a 12 ft. rocket powered by a central L motor and two J motors designed by Nick Lototsky, one of our most prolific flyers. Assisting with the effort, Jasiel Martinez, Paul Lototsky, Michael Rios-Tolano, and even Mr. Mills, the team got this monster into the air to 3,000 ft. at the LDRS launch festival at Lucerne Dry Lake in June.
A big thank you to our principal, Ms. Coleman for helping us make this happen!

One of our newest members, Obi Okeke, successfully designed, built, and flew the largest rocket our club has produced to date.

This is our group of students & Aerospace advisor, Mr. Gallo that went to this year's Young Eagles Event in Long Beach Airport
Our Dragons (and some distinguished guests) went over to Long Beach Airport to participate in the Experimental Aircraft Association's (EAA) Young Eagles Program.
The goal of the Young Eagles program is to give students the opportunity to ride in an aircraft primarily for First-Time flyers and educate students how a plane works and flies.
14 students were fortunate enough to participate in this year's event! Some students were able to even fly the airplane itself for a short time. Congrats to all who participated. This is the second time Sato Aerospace has participated in the Young Eagles event.
