Our team has successfully prepared and organized a presentation to DOW officials regarding our mission and program. Additionally, each sub-component group has now entered the early testing phases of our ideas regarding our rocket.
Our team has successfully built several calculators and models to present to NASA officials tomorrow. See some of our work below and in our "Resources" section.
Thank you to everyone who attended our preliminary design review! After our team's successful review, we continue to work towards the research and design of our rocket.
Our team is preparing for our SAIC Design Review in Houston TX this week. Rocket mockups are coming to fruition as well.
Thank you, SAIC for your amazing feedback regarding our project. Today our team has also received the metal used for our ox-tank. Big things coming very soon.
Our team was invited out to the SpaceX Launch Facility in Boca Chica, TX, for a tour of the facility. Throughout the tour, we had the opportunity to see one of the top performers in the aerospace industry's manufacturing processes and explore the company's future projects. Thank you so much for the opportunity, SpaceX!
