around and talked to a bunch of them

39
00:14:15,430 --> 00:14:14,000
yesterday and they've worked nine months

40
00:14:16,710 --> 00:14:15,440

rockets absolutely this is a long hard

43
00:14:22,629 --> 00:14:21,279
process that these teams go through

44
00:14:24,790 --> 00:14:22,639
we're going to get into all of that

45
00:14:26,629 --> 00:14:24,800
including how high these rockets fly

46
00:14:28,629 --> 00:14:26,639

72
00:15:38,870 --> 00:15:35,120
teams are divided into two primary

73
00:15:41,749 --> 00:15:38,880
divisions college university or usli

74
00:15:44,310 --> 00:15:41,759
and middle school high school or sli

75
00:15:46,310 --> 00:15:44,320
each year usli teams are tasked with

76
00:15:47,350 --> 00:15:46,320
completing a unique payload or mission

77
00:15:49,350 --> 00:15:47,360
objective

78
00:15:51,189 --> 00:15:49,360
sli teams are permitted to develop a

79
00:15:52,389 --> 00:15:51,199
science experiment or engineering

80
00:15:54,949 --> 00:15:52,399
payload appropriate to their

81
00:15:57,110 --> 00:15:54,959
capabilities and curriculum

82
00:15:58,870 --> 00:15:57,120
how high do rockets go for our

83
00:16:02,230 --> 00:15:58,880
competition they'll reach altitudes

84
00:16:04,230 --> 00:16:02,240
between 3 500 and 6 000 feet instead of

85
00:16:06,470 --> 00:16:04,240
trying to fly the highest teams try to

86
00:16:08,150 --> 00:16:06,480
fly the closest to their target altitude

87
00:16:10,710 --> 00:16:08,160
which they submit during the preliminary

88
00:16:12,949 --> 00:16:10,720
design review a full six months before

89
00:16:15,030 --> 00:16:12,959

148
00:18:50,150 --> 00:18:47,720
through the

00:18:51,230 --> 00:18:50,160
perilous fly

150
00:18:55,789 --> 00:18:51,240
or the

151
00:18:59,350 --> 00:18:55,799
ramparts we watched were so

152
00:19:03,750 --> 00:18:59,360
gallantly screaming

153
00:19:05,070 --> 00:19:03,760

the bombs

155
00:19:13,110 --> 00:19:10,480

00:19:17,430 --> 00:19:13,120
through the night

157
00:19:24,710 --> 00:19:17,440
that our flag was still there

00:19:37,190 --> 00:19:31,310
or the

160
00:19:40,150 --> 00:19:38,590
and the

home

162
00:19:53,669 --> 00:19:42,720
of the

163
00:19:59,029 --> 00:19:57,190
thank you mr mason lee

164
00:20:01,190 --> 00:19:59,039
our first distinguished speaker is a

165
00:20:03,750 --> 00:20:01,200
true education advocate he is the

166
00:20:05,990 --> 00:20:03,760
associate administrator of nasa's office

167
00:20:12,789 --> 00:20:06,000
of stem engagement please welcome with a

168
00:20:17,110 --> 00:20:14,310
thanks chris

169
00:20:18,870 --> 00:20:17,120
it is so great to be here

170
00:20:20,870 --> 00:20:18,880
you know at nasa one of our missions is

171
00:20:23,110 --> 00:20:20,880
to involve students and what is it that

172
00:20:25,029 --> 00:20:23,120
we're doing and you're here

173
00:20:26,950 --> 00:20:25,039
just pause for a second

174
00:20:29,909 --> 00:20:26,960
and just realize

175
00:20:31,590 --> 00:20:29,919
you're you're finally here

176
00:20:33,110 --> 00:20:31,600
think about how much work it took to get

177
00:20:35,510 --> 00:20:33,120
to this place

178
00:20:37,430 --> 00:20:35,520
the proposals you wrote the time you

179
00:20:39,190 --> 00:20:37,440
spent in a lab the things you were

180
00:20:41,669 --> 00:20:39,200
working through

181
00:20:43,750 --> 00:20:41,679
it got you to this place

182
00:20:45,669 --> 00:20:43,760
and if you're like me sometimes i have a

183
00:20:47,110 --> 00:20:45,679
hard time just pausing

184
00:20:48,630 --> 00:20:47,120
and soaking in

185
00:20:50,230 --> 00:20:48,640
the accomplishment and where i am in the

186
00:20:51,430 --> 00:20:50,240
moment

187
00:20:53,190 --> 00:20:51,440
perhaps you're like me where you're

188
00:20:55,350 --> 00:20:53,200
thinking about well what's the next

189
00:20:57,669 --> 00:20:55,360
thing i got to do is my rocket ready is

190
00:20:59,270 --> 00:20:57,679
it going to work

191
00:21:00,710 --> 00:20:59,280
all those things go but i would just ask

192
00:21:03,430 --> 00:21:00,720
you just to pause for a second and say

193
00:21:05,110 --> 00:21:03,440
you know what this is where i'm at

194
00:21:06,710 --> 00:21:05,120
you're you might think

195
00:21:08,390 --> 00:21:06,720
that you're sitting here on a farm and

196
00:21:10,470 --> 00:21:08,400
thank you to the grag farm for hosting

197
00:21:12,230 --> 00:21:10,480
us but you're really not

198
00:21:14,390 --> 00:21:12,240
you're really part of nasa you're at a

199
00:21:15,590 --> 00:21:14,400
nasa event

200
00:21:17,510 --> 00:21:15,600
your friends and family that are

201
00:21:19,750 --> 00:21:17,520
watching us back home they're watching

202
00:21:21,750 --> 00:21:19,760
you at a nasa event

203
00:21:23,909 --> 00:21:21,760
and i hope you realize just how cool

204
00:21:26,549 --> 00:21:23,919
that is how most of the country would

205
00:21:27,669 --> 00:21:26,559
love to be here and be with you today

206
00:21:29,430 --> 00:21:27,679
so i'm going to ask you i'm going to

207
00:21:31,110 --> 00:21:29,440
give you three ways

208
00:21:33,029 --> 00:21:31,120
that you can pay it forward for this

209
00:21:34,950 --> 00:21:33,039
experience you've had

210
00:21:37,029 --> 00:21:34,960
first one it's going to get harder

211
00:21:39,029 --> 00:21:37,039
the first one is pretty easy most of you

212
00:21:41,190 --> 00:21:39,039
are probably doing it already

213
00:21:43,029 --> 00:21:41,200
and that's find your favorite social

214
00:21:45,590 --> 00:21:43,039
media app

215
00:21:46,789 --> 00:21:45,600
take some pictures of your rockets

216
00:21:48,549 --> 00:21:46,799
and pay it forward to the next

217
00:21:50,070 --> 00:21:48,559
generation

218
00:21:52,549 --> 00:21:50,080
because you know when people hear from

219
00:21:55,669 --> 00:21:52,559
you about what you're doing it means so

220
00:21:57,190 --> 00:21:55,679
much more than if they heard it from us

221
00:21:59,510 --> 00:21:57,200
so i hope you'll be part of that that's

222
00:22:00,710 --> 00:21:59,520
easy the second one's a little harder if

223
00:22:02,870 --> 00:22:00,720
you're if you're here with one of the

224
00:22:04,149 --> 00:22:02,880
university teams i'm going to count down

225
00:22:05,430 --> 00:22:04,159
and i want to hear you as loud as

226
00:22:12,070 --> 00:22:05,440
possible if you're one of our university

227
00:22:15,750 --> 00:22:14,149
pretty impressive all right now we also

228
00:22:17,430 --> 00:22:15,760
have high school and middle school teams

229
00:22:19,029 --> 00:22:17,440
i'm going to do the same thing i want to

230
00:22:20,950 --> 00:22:19,039
hear really loudly from all those high

231
00:22:22,710 --> 00:22:20,960
school middle school all the parents

232
00:22:25,430 --> 00:22:22,720
sponsors that are with you count down i

233
00:22:28,789 --> 00:22:25,440
want to hear from you as well three two

234
00:22:33,669 --> 00:22:30,950
i gotta say there's fewer of you but you

235
00:22:34,870 --> 00:22:33,679
showed up loudly there

236
00:22:36,789 --> 00:22:34,880
here's what i'm gonna ask you if you're

237
00:22:38,470 --> 00:22:36,799
on a university team it's easy to come

238
00:22:40,149 --> 00:22:38,480
in and you're focused

239
00:22:41,830 --> 00:22:40,159
you've got this rocket you were worried

240
00:22:42,950 --> 00:22:41,840
about it you drove from wherever it is

241
00:22:45,190 --> 00:22:42,960
to get here

242
00:22:47,590 --> 00:22:45,200
i want you to pay it forward i want you

243
00:22:48,950 --> 00:22:47,600
to walk around the the areas and find a

244
00:22:51,029 --> 00:22:48,960
high school or middle school team and go

245
00:22:52,630 --> 00:22:51,039
up and and talk to them

246
00:22:53,669 --> 00:22:52,640
i'll tell you my 13 year old daughter is

247

here with me

248
00:22:57,270 --> 00:22:54,880
i asked her last night we're talking to

having us thank you so much for hosting

251
00:23:03,990 --> 00:23:01,840
this event this is such a cool

252
00:23:05,350 --> 00:23:04,000
activity that we get to participate in

253
00:23:08,390 --> 00:23:05,360
each year

254
00:23:09,750 --> 00:23:08,400
the national space club is a non-profit

255
00:23:11,510 --> 00:23:09,760
organization

256
00:23:13,430 --> 00:23:11,520
that seeks to advance

257
00:23:15,110 --> 00:23:13,440
excellence in space

258
00:23:17,590 --> 00:23:15,120
we're very much involved with stem

259
00:23:20,149 --> 00:23:17,600
engagement and recognition of excellence

260
00:23:22,870 --> 00:23:20,159
in our community the national space club

261
00:23:25,750 --> 00:23:22,880
in the last 15 years has given over a

262
00:23:29,430 --> 00:23:25,760
million dollars to stem engagement which

263
00:23:31,110 --> 00:23:29,440
has impacted over 68 000 students you

264
00:23:34,390 --> 00:23:31,120
are part of those students and we're

265
00:23:36,630 --> 00:23:34,400
certainly happy to be a part

266
00:23:38,549 --> 00:23:36,640
you guys have been on quite a journey we

267
00:23:41,110 --> 00:23:38,559
got to hear from some of the students

268
00:23:43,830 --> 00:23:41,120
earlier this week in a presentation and

269
00:23:46,470 --> 00:23:43,840
of course they um like yourselves had

270
00:23:49,029 --> 00:23:46,480
been through a preliminary design review

271
00:23:52,630 --> 00:23:49,039
critical design review flight readiness

272
00:23:55,590 --> 00:23:52,640
review months of work collaboration

273
00:23:57,990 --> 00:23:55,600
teamwork the kinds of things that are so

274
00:24:00,950 --> 00:23:58,000
good for you to be exposed to

275
00:24:02,149 --> 00:24:00,960
and yet here you are on culminating all

276
00:24:03,510 --> 00:24:02,159
those events

277
00:24:06,149 --> 00:24:03,520
now the students that we talked to

278
00:24:07,590 --> 00:24:06,159
showed us a picture of a rocket hanging

279
00:24:09,190 --> 00:24:07,600
from a tree

280
00:24:11,110 --> 00:24:09,200
now i know that hasn't happened to

281
00:24:13,990 --> 00:24:11,120
anyone else here but

282
00:24:15,669 --> 00:24:14,000
it's funny things happen that we do not

283
00:24:18,149 --> 00:24:15,679
anticipate

284
00:24:21,110 --> 00:24:18,159
as larry said we often have that

285
00:24:23,590 --> 00:24:21,120
sometimes in our workplace as well and

286
00:24:26,710 --> 00:24:23,600
yet some would call that a failure

287
00:24:28,950 --> 00:24:26,720
we call that a learning experience

288
00:24:31,990 --> 00:24:28,960
and we just appreciate your willingness

289
00:24:35,110 --> 00:24:32,000
to participate and to be involved

290
00:24:37,510 --> 00:24:35,120
this week is really an exciting week in

291
00:24:40,470 --> 00:24:37,520
north alabama and in huntsville

292
00:24:42,630 --> 00:24:40,480
the process of exploration is sort of

293
00:24:45,110 --> 00:24:42,640
like a relay race that's why i've

294
00:24:47,830 --> 00:24:45,120
brought two grandsons with me today

295
00:24:50,710 --> 00:24:47,840
because earlier this week we had the

296
00:24:53,430 --> 00:24:50,720
proud opportunity to get to speak with

297
00:24:54,950 --> 00:24:53,440
mr charlie duke as he was here in our

298
00:24:58,470 --> 00:24:54,960
community

299
00:25:00,630 --> 00:24:58,480
celebrating 50 years since the apollo 16

300
00:25:03,510 --> 00:25:00,640
went to the moon and he was able to

301
00:25:05,510 --> 00:25:03,520
pilot a rover on the surface of the moon

302
00:25:08,310 --> 00:25:05,520
the youngest man to ever

303
00:25:11,110 --> 00:25:08,320
set foot on the moon and yet the artemis

304
00:25:12,950 --> 00:25:11,120
program is soon to change that we're the

305
00:25:16,470 --> 00:25:12,960
first person of color

306
00:25:18,950 --> 00:25:16,480
um the the first female to set foot on

307
00:25:22,070 --> 00:25:18,960
the moon here later in the decade we're

308
00:25:25,110 --> 00:25:22,080
just anxious to to to join and partner

309
00:25:28,630 --> 00:25:25,120
and partner with nasa as we begin a

310
00:25:31,430 --> 00:25:28,640
sustained presence beyond low earth

311
00:25:34,070 --> 00:25:31,440
orbit and you will make that happen

312
00:25:36,789 --> 00:25:34,080
i talk about generations it's charlie's

313
00:25:39,430 --> 00:25:36,799
generation that came before us i watched

314
00:25:42,310 --> 00:25:39,440
charlie in middle school and was just

315
00:25:44,390 --> 00:25:42,320
amazed at the notion of going to space

316
00:25:46,710 --> 00:25:44,400
studied mechanical engineering and have

317
00:25:48,390 --> 00:25:46,720
had a really cool career

318
00:25:51,269 --> 00:25:48,400
it's been wonderful to be a part of the

319
00:25:53,830 --> 00:25:51,279
team that helped develop the shuttle the

320
00:25:56,390 --> 00:25:53,840
international space station

321
00:25:58,789 --> 00:25:56,400

327
00:26:14,149 --> 00:26:11,840
that third generation that's learning

328
00:26:16,549 --> 00:26:14,159
quite a bit from us and of course from

329
00:26:19,190 --> 00:26:16,559

with the national association of

365
00:28:00,789 --> 00:27:57,830
so as i sat with you through your many

366
00:28:02,549 --> 00:28:00,799
reviews i think you'd be you know

367
00:28:03,750 --> 00:28:02,559
shocked if i didn't come with my own

368
00:28:05,590 --> 00:28:03,760
checklist

369
00:28:06,950 --> 00:28:05,600
i mean i to make sure that i hit all the

370
00:28:08,950 --> 00:28:06,960
high points

371
00:28:11,669 --> 00:28:08,960
i think you all know about the hazards

372
00:28:12,710 --> 00:28:11,679
but i want to point them out again

373
00:28:14,630 --> 00:28:12,720
the up

374
00:28:17,990 --> 00:28:14,640
the launch the boost phase the coast

375
00:28:20,549 --> 00:28:18,000
phase up to apogee is generally you know

376
00:28:23,430 --> 00:28:20,559
pretty reliable it's the it's the lowest

377
00:28:24,950 --> 00:28:23,440
failure mode of the flight

378
00:28:27,029 --> 00:28:24,960
once the recovery system starts to

379
00:28:30,070 --> 00:28:27,039
deploy

380
00:28:32,310 --> 00:28:30,080
we're at the at the mercy of the winds

381
00:28:33,669 --> 00:28:32,320
so in order to go and mitigate those

382
00:28:36,070 --> 00:28:33,679
hazards we have taken certain

383
00:28:37,350 --> 00:28:36,080
precautions there will be people out in

384
00:28:42,470 --> 00:28:37,360
the

385
00:28:45,269 --> 00:28:42,480
spectator area

386
00:28:46,549 --> 00:28:45,279
with air horns if you hear two short

387
00:28:48,950 --> 00:28:46,559
blasts

388
00:28:51,350 --> 00:28:48,960
that means that there is a hazard uh

389
00:28:52,950 --> 00:28:51,360
detected it's not saying it's imminent

390
00:28:54,789 --> 00:28:52,960
it's just saying that something isn't

391
00:28:57,510 --> 00:28:54,799
quite going right or

392
00:29:00,389 --> 00:28:57,520
it's not going as we would like

393
00:29:04,789 --> 00:29:00,399
so when you hear the two short blasts

394
00:29:06,950 --> 00:29:04,799
you know look around listen to the lco

395
00:29:09,269 --> 00:29:06,960
audio they will give you some

396
00:29:12,870 --> 00:29:09,279
instructions as to where to look have

397
00:29:15,430 --> 00:29:12,880
someone in your group go and locate that

398
00:29:16,549 --> 00:29:15,440
and point at it so others can see where

399
00:29:19,350 --> 00:29:16,559
it is

400
00:29:22,630 --> 00:29:19,360
if things degrade further

401
00:29:24,870 --> 00:29:22,640
you will hear a long loud blast

402
00:29:27,190 --> 00:29:24,880
and that is where you get to all the

403
00:29:29,590 --> 00:29:27,200
people around you make sure that they

404
00:29:32,549 --> 00:29:29,600
identify what the hazard is and take the

405
00:29:35,350 --> 00:29:32,559
necessary precautions because we've had

406
00:29:37,510 --> 00:29:35,360
60 years of safe rocketry in this

407
00:29:39,430 --> 00:29:37,520
country we don't want it to end anytime

408
00:29:42,470 --> 00:29:39,440
soon or anytime in the future

409
00:29:48,149 --> 00:29:45,430
attention to safety is really really

410
00:29:50,710 --> 00:29:48,159
important at today's launch

411
00:29:59,110 --> 00:29:51,669
with that

412
00:30:02,549 --> 00:30:00,470
thank you john

413
00:30:04,950 --> 00:30:02,559
what a wonderful time to be involved in

414
00:30:06,870 --> 00:30:04,960
stem education on behalf of nasa and

415
00:30:08,389 --> 00:30:06,880
everyone here today we wish the best of

416
00:30:10,549 --> 00:30:08,399
luck to all teams

417
00:30:12,870 --> 00:30:10,559
this concludes our opening ceremony we

418
00:30:15,830 --> 00:30:12,880
will now move to the next event on the

419
00:30:18,789 --> 00:30:15,840
days agenda our first rocket launch of

420
00:30:21,110 --> 00:30:18,799
the day occurring in just a few moments

421
00:30:26,870 --> 00:30:21,120
grab your binoculars a good viewing spot

422
00:30:30,470 --> 00:30:28,710
thanks chris we certainly appreciate all

423
00:30:32,310 --> 00:30:30,480
the kind and inspiring words from our

424
00:30:34,310 --> 00:30:32,320
nasa leadership and our industry

425
00:30:36,070 --> 00:30:34,320
partners okay without them we couldn't

426
00:30:37,909 --> 00:30:36,080
have this competition and be out here

427
00:30:39,190 --> 00:30:37,919
today no you're right and we really

428
00:30:40,870 --> 00:30:39,200
appreciate being a sponsor it's our

429
00:30:42,470 --> 00:30:40,880
favorite event every year and that's why

430
00:30:44,230 --> 00:30:42,480
it's so great to be back here in person

431
00:30:45,990 --> 00:30:44,240
this time yeah absolutely now we're

432
00:30:48,389 --> 00:30:46,000
about to really wrap up our opening

433
00:30:50,389 --> 00:30:48,399
ceremonies with a cool event madison

434
00:30:52,710 --> 00:30:50,399
west high school one of our high school

435
00:30:53,669 --> 00:30:52,720
division teams is going to launch their

436
00:30:56,070 --> 00:30:53,679
rocket

437
00:30:57,830 --> 00:30:56,080
to wrap up our opening ceremonies now

438
00:30:59,509 --> 00:30:57,840
they've got a really cool payload on

439
00:31:02,310 --> 00:30:59,519
board high school teams can pick a

440
00:31:05,430 --> 00:31:02,320
payload of any of their curiosity

441
00:31:07,350 --> 00:31:05,440
this particular team picked yeast and

442
00:31:10,549 --> 00:31:07,360
sourdough to understand how the yeast

443
00:31:12,310 --> 00:31:10,559
and bacteria behave after they go

444
00:31:13,750 --> 00:31:12,320
through these high acceleration events

445
00:31:15,990 --> 00:31:13,760
and these low acceleration events that

446
00:31:17,509 --> 00:31:16,000
they'll hit at hit at apogee

447
00:31:18,789 --> 00:31:17,519
so without further ado we're going to

448
00:31:20,950 --> 00:31:18,799
send it over to our launch control

449
00:31:27,430 --> 00:31:20,960
commentator with the call from madison

450
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:59,430
that's going to take off yeah

451
00:32:04,470 --> 00:32:01,909
okay okay good morning everybody so we

452
00:32:06,950 --> 00:32:04,480
are going to do our inaugural launch for

453
00:32:09,830 --> 00:32:06,960
this year's sli competition

454
00:32:12,230 --> 00:32:09,840
so the first rocket to go is madison

455
00:32:14,389 --> 00:32:12,240
west the school is

456
00:32:17,350 --> 00:32:14,399
the school is madison west high school

457
00:32:19,350 --> 00:32:17,360
out of madison wisconsin

458
00:32:21,269 --> 00:32:19,360
the rocket name is persephone you can

459
00:32:23,110 --> 00:32:21,279
see it's got a beautiful paint job it's

460
00:32:25,110 --> 00:32:23,120
got a blue on there and it's got a lot

461
00:32:27,029 --> 00:32:25,120
of 3d printed stuff on there 3d printed

462
00:32:29,830 --> 00:32:27,039
nose cone transition and some internal

463
00:32:32,789 --> 00:32:29,840
parts this rocket weighs 33 pounds five

464
00:32:34,470 --> 00:32:32,799
and a half inch diameter eight feet tall

465
00:32:35,669 --> 00:32:34,480
i'm sorry sorry

466
00:32:37,669 --> 00:32:35,679
you know eight feet tall and does have a

467
00:32:40,950 --> 00:32:37,679
four inch diameter as well this does

468
00:32:43,269 --> 00:32:40,960
have 3d capsules for petri dishes filled

469
00:32:45,750 --> 00:32:43,279
with sourdough and yogurt samples to

470
00:32:48,149 --> 00:32:45,760
study the effects of rocket flight

471
00:32:50,070 --> 00:32:48,159
on the fermentation process so this one

472
00:32:52,070 --> 00:32:50,080
is a food flight

473
00:32:55,110 --> 00:32:52,080
i also do know this rocket is projected

474
00:32:57,710 --> 00:32:55,120
to go about 4 000 feet so this motor is

475
00:33:01,110 --> 00:32:57,720
flying on an aerotech

476
00:33:04,230 --> 00:33:01,120
k-1999 does have electronics on board

477
00:33:06,070 --> 00:33:04,240
main is set for 700 feet for those that

478
00:33:08,149 --> 00:33:06,080
don't know the motor this is a k close

479
00:33:09,830 --> 00:33:08,159
to a k2000 when you do the conversion

480
00:33:12,789 --> 00:33:09,840
it's about

481
00:33:14,389 --> 00:33:12,799
pounds of thrust for a 33 pound rocket

482
00:33:16,950 --> 00:33:14,399
so this will be a nice good morning

483
00:33:19,590 --> 00:33:16,960
flight for for many of us here today

484
00:33:21,350 --> 00:33:19,600
so right now we have a clear sky

485
00:33:24,230 --> 00:33:21,360
we have a clear range

486
00:33:26,149 --> 00:33:24,240
we have jill esco of uh with northrop

487
00:33:28,149 --> 00:33:26,159
grumman doing the commemorative button

488
00:33:29,909 --> 00:33:28,159
push so thank you for joining us jill

489
00:33:32,389 --> 00:33:29,919
and thank you northrup we are going to

490
00:33:34,149 --> 00:33:32,399
launch this rocket in five

491
00:33:34,950 --> 00:33:34,159
four three

492
00:33:38,789 --> 00:33:34,960
two

493
00:33:38,799 --> 00:33:47,830
i said good morning

494
00:33:47,840 --> 00:34:01,110
should have an event

495
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:17,510
see that little smoker

496
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:27,190
so if it's nearby this is

497
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:32,129
folks

498
00:34:32,139 --> 00:35:01,589
[Applause]

499
00:35:05,270 --> 00:35:03,270
they had a great parachute deployment

500
00:35:07,829 --> 00:35:05,280
yeah they got close to the crowd so it's

501
00:35:09,670 --> 00:35:07,839
always important for us to to stay aware

502
00:35:11,430 --> 00:35:09,680
and be aware of what's going on when

503
00:35:13,430 --> 00:35:11,440
these rockets fly right i like how

504
00:35:14,710 --> 00:35:13,440
everybody like points to it and so if

505
00:35:16,310 --> 00:35:14,720
somebody doesn't see it they at least

506
00:35:17,510 --> 00:35:16,320
know the direction it's coming down and

507
00:35:18,790 --> 00:35:17,520
that's one of the really important

508
00:35:20,310 --> 00:35:18,800
things that they discussed in the

509
00:35:22,069 --> 00:35:20,320
opening ceremonies are all the safety

510
00:35:25,190 --> 00:35:22,079
precautions that you have to do when you

511
00:35:27,190 --> 00:35:25,200
come out here many of us have launched

512
00:35:28,870 --> 00:35:27,200
as the wind starts picking up here many

513
00:35:30,790 --> 00:35:28,880
of us have launched the sds rockets that

514
00:35:32,630 --> 00:35:30,800
fly maybe a thousand feet up in there

515
00:35:34,790 --> 00:35:32,640
and they're a lot of fun to do

516
00:35:37,190 --> 00:35:34,800
these are a different realm of different

517
00:35:39,510 --> 00:35:37,200
class of rockets so how how high do they

518
00:35:41,270 --> 00:35:39,520
go in altitude yeah so these rockets are

519
00:35:43,510 --> 00:35:41,280
targeted to fly between four thousand

520
00:35:45,270 --> 00:35:43,520
and six thousand feet now it's due as

521
00:35:47,270 --> 00:35:45,280
you probably heard in the video

522
00:35:48,790 --> 00:35:47,280
these rockets these teams are scored on

523
00:35:50,230 --> 00:35:48,800
a number of different criteria and

524
00:35:52,390 --> 00:35:50,240
they're given a lot of different awards

525
00:35:53,270 --> 00:35:52,400
and categories including the altitude

526
00:35:56,630 --> 00:35:53,280
award

527
00:35:59,349 --> 00:35:56,640
team that comes closest to their

528
00:36:00,550 --> 00:35:59,359
predicted altitude but k

529
00:36:02,630 --> 00:36:00,560
they don't they don't predict this

530
00:36:03,990 --> 00:36:02,640
altitude this morning do they no they do

531
00:36:05,349 --> 00:36:04,000
it about nine months ago before they

532
00:36:06,790 --> 00:36:05,359
even start building their rocket they

533
00:36:08,550 --> 00:36:06,800
get it all down on paper first and they

534
00:36:11,349 --> 00:36:08,560
predict within eight feet sometimes how

535
00:36:13,829 --> 00:36:11,359
high they're gonna go absolutely so tons

536
00:36:15,910 --> 00:36:13,839
of simulation goes into this these teams

537
00:36:18,390 --> 00:36:15,920
know their mathematics and they know the

538
00:36:20,710 --> 00:36:18,400
physics of what makes these rockets fly

539
00:36:22,950 --> 00:36:20,720
better than better certainly better than

540
00:36:24,230 --> 00:36:22,960
i know it well and so i'm really excited

541
00:36:25,990 --> 00:36:24,240
to talk to the teams about how they came

542
00:36:27,510 --> 00:36:26,000
about figuring out their altitude yeah

543
00:36:29,670 --> 00:36:27,520
absolutely i'm excited to hear that too

544
00:36:31,589 --> 00:36:29,680
the other cool thing we'll we'll get to

545
00:36:33,990 --> 00:36:31,599
today is how they actually figure out

546
00:36:35,430 --> 00:36:34,000
what the altitude award is these uh or

547
00:36:37,190 --> 00:36:35,440
what the altitude is these teams fly

548
00:36:38,470 --> 00:36:37,200
altimeters on the rockets i don't know

549
00:36:39,829 --> 00:36:38,480
what that means

550
00:36:41,829 --> 00:36:39,839
so they have they have important

551
00:36:43,510 --> 00:36:41,839
measuring devices and that our trained

552
00:36:45,670 --> 00:36:43,520
professionals will listen to different

553
00:36:48,630 --> 00:36:45,680
beeps and um they'll be able to

554
00:36:50,630 --> 00:36:48,640
determine how how high their rocket flew

555
00:36:52,310 --> 00:36:50,640
but rockets whether it's out here at

556
00:36:54,069 --> 00:36:52,320
student launch or with nasa in the space

557
00:36:55,670 --> 00:36:54,079
program in the space industry not just

558
00:36:57,829 --> 00:36:55,680
about going high

559
00:36:59,750 --> 00:36:57,839
they have to carry payloads

560
00:37:02,230 --> 00:36:59,760
we discussed it before this rocket flu

561
00:37:04,950 --> 00:37:02,240
that the high school division gets to

562
00:37:06,390 --> 00:37:04,960
create a payload of their own creation

563
00:37:08,710 --> 00:37:06,400
our college division teams which you'll

564
00:37:10,870 --> 00:37:08,720
see throughout today they are issued a

565
00:37:11,750 --> 00:37:10,880
challenge from nasa specifically this

566
00:37:13,829 --> 00:37:11,760
year

567
00:37:15,829 --> 00:37:13,839
they're trying to mimic how do we find

568
00:37:18,710 --> 00:37:15,839
out where a spacecraft on other planets

569
00:37:20,069 --> 00:37:18,720
land when there's no gps

570
00:37:21,750 --> 00:37:20,079
yeah that's just crazy and a couple of

571
00:37:23,109 --> 00:37:21,760
them had some really great different

572
00:37:24,230 --> 00:37:23,119
ideas yesterday i can't remember them

573
00:37:25,750 --> 00:37:24,240
now but we'll talk to the students

574
00:37:26,950 --> 00:37:25,760
throughout the day absolutely you're

575
00:37:29,510 --> 00:37:26,960
going to hear about how these teams

576
00:37:32,630 --> 00:37:29,520
tackled it how do you figure out where a

577
00:37:34,230 --> 00:37:32,640
rocket lands when you don't have gps

578
00:37:36,470 --> 00:37:34,240
with you

579
00:37:37,750 --> 00:37:36,480
now madison west is out there about to

580
00:37:38,950 --> 00:37:37,760
recover their rocket we've got some

581
00:37:40,630 --> 00:37:38,960
other teams

582
00:37:43,829 --> 00:37:40,640
going up on the rails

583
00:37:46,230 --> 00:37:43,839
one of nasa's goals is to engage and

584
00:37:48,230 --> 00:37:46,240
inspire the next generation and that's

585
00:37:49,030 --> 00:37:48,240
truly what we do here with nasa student

586
00:37:50,550 --> 00:37:49,040
launch

587
00:37:52,550 --> 00:37:50,560
part of one of the many ways that we do

588
00:37:54,230 --> 00:37:52,560
that is also with our social media we

589
00:37:56,150 --> 00:37:54,240
are bringing this stream to you live on

590
00:37:58,470 --> 00:37:56,160
the nasa student launch facebook and the

591
00:38:00,390 --> 00:37:58,480
marshall space flight center youtube

592
00:38:02,870 --> 00:38:00,400
if you have any questions for us use the

593
00:38:04,390 --> 00:38:02,880
hashtag studentlaunch you can tweet at

594
00:38:05,589 --> 00:38:04,400
us put it in the chat we'll try to

595
00:38:07,670 --> 00:38:05,599
answer them while we're live there on

596
00:38:14,069 --> 00:38:07,680
social media and maybe even answer your

597
00:38:18,310 --> 00:38:16,230
so as our teams are

598
00:38:19,670 --> 00:38:18,320
going to be coming up and down one of

599
00:38:21,750 --> 00:38:19,680
the other things that i want to talk

600
00:38:23,270 --> 00:38:21,760
about is just the amount of work that

601
00:38:25,430 --> 00:38:23,280
goes into it for these teams we've

602
00:38:26,390 --> 00:38:25,440
mentioned a couple of times the many

603
00:38:28,150 --> 00:38:26,400
months

604
00:38:29,589 --> 00:38:28,160
of work right and one of the speakers

605
00:38:31,030 --> 00:38:29,599
this morning talked about that it's just

606
00:38:32,310 --> 00:38:31,040
like a real rocket launch and nasa's

607
00:38:34,230 --> 00:38:32,320
getting ready to run to launch the

608
00:38:35,430 --> 00:38:34,240
artemis rocket in just a few months and

609
00:38:37,270 --> 00:38:35,440
the teams go through the same process

610
00:38:39,030 --> 00:38:37,280
that nasa does with their pre-flight

611
00:38:41,190 --> 00:38:39,040
reviews and the launch readiness reviews

612
00:38:43,109 --> 00:38:41,200
and all the acronyms that make those

613
00:38:44,950 --> 00:38:43,119
reviews up for nine months just like a

614
00:38:47,270 --> 00:38:44,960
real rocket yeah absolutely it all

615
00:38:49,670 --> 00:38:47,280
starts with a proposal way back in

616
00:38:51,829 --> 00:38:49,680
august nasa student launch releases the

617
00:38:54,470 --> 00:38:51,839
handbook teams look at the handbook look

618
00:38:56,230 --> 00:38:54,480
at their requirements build a proposal

619
00:38:58,310 --> 00:38:56,240
submit that and they have to be accepted

620
00:39:00,150 --> 00:38:58,320
it's not a let's send in our homework

621
00:39:02,630 --> 00:39:00,160
and we get accepted type thing they

622
00:39:05,190 --> 00:39:02,640
submit it and then what follows are

623
00:39:07,270 --> 00:39:05,200
months of designing and building and

624
00:39:09,910 --> 00:39:07,280
testing a subscale version of the

625
00:39:12,790 --> 00:39:09,920
rockets you'll see out here today

626
00:39:14,630 --> 00:39:12,800
then they build test and fly and in some

627
00:39:17,109 --> 00:39:14,640
cases as you'll hear today

628
00:39:18,470 --> 00:39:17,119
repair their flight rocket

629
00:39:20,630 --> 00:39:18,480
and all on the way okay they're they're

630
00:39:22,790 --> 00:39:20,640
writing hundreds of pages of reports

631
00:39:25,589 --> 00:39:22,800
they're doing it all right reviews and

632
00:39:27,109 --> 00:39:25,599
presentations with nasa rocketry experts

633
00:39:28,790 --> 00:39:27,119
right so what we see today is the fun

634
00:39:30,550 --> 00:39:28,800
part right but they've had eight or nine

635
00:39:33,030 --> 00:39:30,560
months of the not fun part but really

636
00:39:35,190 --> 00:39:33,040
super interesting and learning for their

637
00:39:36,870 --> 00:39:35,200
future right absolutely and i'm in my

638
00:39:38,710 --> 00:39:36,880
like i admire the high school students

639
00:39:40,390 --> 00:39:38,720
because there's no way in high school i

640
00:39:42,390 --> 00:39:40,400
was going to be

641
00:39:44,870 --> 00:39:42,400
forget understanding what's going on out

642
00:39:46,470 --> 00:39:44,880
here the reports in the presentations is

643
00:39:48,870 --> 00:39:46,480
a daunting project especially when

644
00:39:50,470 --> 00:39:48,880
that's what you do after school right

645
00:39:52,470 --> 00:39:50,480
it's this is for fun

646
00:39:54,870 --> 00:39:52,480
this hard work and so we certainly

647
00:39:57,030 --> 00:39:54,880
appreciate it now we're seeing about 27

648
00:39:58,870 --> 00:39:57,040
teams out here with us today but we

649
00:40:00,870 --> 00:39:58,880

750
00:51:17,349 --> 00:51:16,240
what what's going through your mind how

751
00:51:19,430 --> 00:51:17,359
are you feeling well we're feeling

752
00:51:20,470 --> 00:51:19,440
pretty nervous um obviously it's been a

753
00:51:21,829 --> 00:51:20,480
whole eight nine months i've been

754
00:51:23,349 --> 00:51:21,839
working on this project so a lot kind of

755
00:51:24,630 --> 00:51:23,359
culminating today but we feel confident

756
00:51:25,829 --> 00:51:24,640
we've gone through our checklist we

757
00:51:27,670 --> 00:51:25,839
inspected the whole rock we've flown to

758
00:51:29,109 --> 00:51:27,680
a couple of times now so we're confident

759
00:51:30,390 --> 00:51:29,119
how well it can perform just hoping that

760
00:51:32,150 --> 00:51:30,400
everything goes well today and we see a

761
00:51:34,069 --> 00:51:32,160
nice flight so what's your payload on

762
00:51:35,829 --> 00:51:34,079
board so our payload on board is a

763
00:51:37,750 --> 00:51:35,839
scientific payload that will measure

764
00:51:39,109 --> 00:51:37,760
atmospheric conditions and we'll use

765
00:51:40,630 --> 00:51:39,119
that to determine the possibility of

766
00:51:42,790 --> 00:51:40,640
environmental sustainability for various

767
00:51:44,390 --> 00:51:42,800
forms of life such as potato life

768
00:51:46,549 --> 00:51:44,400
oh that's awesome

769
00:51:48,630 --> 00:51:46,559
you got to have potato life right hey i

770
00:51:50,230 --> 00:51:48,640
like my mashed potatoes down here okay

771
00:51:51,670 --> 00:51:50,240
so is this your first time your team's

772
00:51:52,870 --> 00:51:51,680
first time participating in student

773
00:51:54,150 --> 00:51:52,880
launch yeah this is our first time

774
00:51:55,270 --> 00:51:54,160
participating in the student launch uh

775
00:51:56,790 --> 00:51:55,280
definitely been a venture definitely

776
00:51:58,790 --> 00:51:56,800
been a learning experience going through

777
00:51:59,990 --> 00:51:58,800
the whole design lifecycle process for

778
00:52:01,750 --> 00:52:00,000
the first time going through the

779
00:52:03,349 --> 00:52:01,760
proposal all the reports and now kind of

780
00:52:04,710 --> 00:52:03,359
seeing how it all culminates is really

781
00:52:06,150 --> 00:52:04,720
really exciting but yeah it's our first

782
00:52:07,270 --> 00:52:06,160
time and i think all the members of team

783
00:52:09,030 --> 00:52:07,280
can definitely agree it's been a very

784
00:52:11,109 --> 00:52:09,040
fun learning experience for all of us so

785
00:52:12,630 --> 00:52:11,119
y'all are up for it again oh definitely

786
00:52:13,750 --> 00:52:12,640
i'm definitely up for it again i'm

787
00:52:14,710 --> 00:52:13,760
graduating but i know a lot of them are

788
00:52:16,549 --> 00:52:14,720
going to stick around and hopefully

789
00:52:17,510 --> 00:52:16,559
continue this program in the community

790
00:52:18,950 --> 00:52:17,520
superb

791
00:52:20,950 --> 00:52:18,960
that's great now how high are you guys

792
00:52:23,990 --> 00:52:20,960
starting to fly your rocket today so our

793
00:52:27,829 --> 00:52:24,000
official target altitude is 4 700 feet

794
00:52:29,349 --> 00:52:27,839
that's impressive almost a mile up yeah

795
00:52:30,630 --> 00:52:29,359
that's incredible well so is there

796
00:52:31,910 --> 00:52:30,640
anybody back home you want to thank any

797
00:52:33,109 --> 00:52:31,920
teachers any sponsors that helps you

798
00:52:35,030 --> 00:52:33,119
guys get here i know it's a long way

from california to north alabama yeah

800
00:52:39,190 --> 00:52:36,800
it's uh definitely been an adventure

801
00:52:41,190 --> 00:52:39,200
we'll always like to thank um our mentor

whole team possible ay so region 174 we

810
00:52:56,710 --> 00:52:55,119
couldn't find anyone to sponsor our team

811
00:52:58,069 --> 00:52:56,720
luckily they stepped in it's been we're

812
00:53:00,069 --> 00:52:58,079
very grateful for them then all of the

813
00:53:01,349 --> 00:53:00,079
families and friends of the team members

00:53:02,950 --> 00:53:01,359
who helped us get to this point from all

815
00:53:04,069 --> 00:53:02,960
the launches to all the workshop days we

816
00:53:05,829 --> 00:53:04,079
want to thank everyone out there who

817
00:53:07,190 --> 00:53:05,839
helped us get here today awesome now

818
00:53:09,109 --> 00:53:07,200
let's roll your rocket and we'll get

819
00:53:10,870 --> 00:53:09,119
these uh i see these sponsors and these

820
00:53:12,549 --> 00:53:10,880
stickers up and down here so to

821
00:53:14,549 --> 00:53:12,559
everybody back home

822

thank you uh for your support of these

823
00:53:17,750 --> 00:53:16,400
young people and the incredible work a

824
00:53:19,430 --> 00:53:17,760

graduation on graduating i appreciate it

829
00:53:29,270 --> 00:53:26,400
thank you very much thank you that's

830
00:53:30,950 --> 00:53:29,280
grenach thank you that's granada hills

831
00:53:32,950 --> 00:53:30,960
high school from granada hills

832
00:53:34,790 --> 00:53:32,960
california they are going to be on their

833
00:53:36,470 --> 00:53:34,800
way to their rocket uh on their on the

834
00:53:37,829 --> 00:53:36,480
way to the launch rail

835
00:53:39,990 --> 00:53:37,839
to launch their rocket that's going to

836
00:53:41,030 --> 00:53:40,000
study the atmosphere now okay i think

837
00:53:42,390 --> 00:53:41,040
it's one of the really cool things about

838
00:53:44,870 --> 00:53:42,400
this competition

839
00:53:46,069 --> 00:53:44,880
is we talk about the altitude and i

840
00:53:47,589 --> 00:53:46,079
always like to think of babe ruth

841
00:53:49,750 --> 00:53:47,599
calling their shot you guys called they

842
00:53:51,190 --> 00:53:49,760
called you shots a few months ago but in

843
00:53:53,349 --> 00:53:51,200
certain conditions we're actually

844
00:53:54,950 --> 00:53:53,359
targeting specific altitudes just like

845
00:53:56,549 --> 00:53:54,960
we do in the space flight industry got

846
00:53:58,069 --> 00:53:56,559
to get the payload to the right orbit to

847
00:53:59,829 --> 00:53:58,079
get the right science

848
00:54:01,109 --> 00:53:59,839
right so what else went into you guys

849
00:54:02,390 --> 00:54:01,119
being able to determine how high you're

850
00:54:03,589 --> 00:54:02,400
going to go and how do you predict

851
00:54:05,829 --> 00:54:03,599
you're going to get exactly to the

852
00:54:07,670 --> 00:54:05,839
altitude you you've selected well we've

853
00:54:08,870 --> 00:54:07,680
flown this motor on this rug before on

854
00:54:10,150 --> 00:54:08,880
the motor we're going to fly it today

855
00:54:12,549 --> 00:54:10,160
we've gotten pretty close we've flown to

856
00:54:13,829 --> 00:54:12,559
about 4 600 feet our predictions is that

857
00:54:15,349 --> 00:54:13,839
we might go a little bit lower because

858
00:54:17,109 --> 00:54:15,359
we know we're a little lower altitude so

859
00:54:18,630 --> 00:54:17,119
the air density down here might bring

860
00:54:20,390 --> 00:54:18,640
our rockets altitude down a bit but

861
00:54:22,630 --> 00:54:20,400
hoping to get at least a good 100 200

862
00:54:24,230 --> 00:54:22,640
feet within the range super mm-hmm

863
00:54:25,270 --> 00:54:24,240
and so so why we're talking about that

864
00:54:26,790 --> 00:54:25,280
what are the things that go into

865
00:54:28,390 --> 00:54:26,800
factoring how you figure out how high

866
00:54:29,349 --> 00:54:28,400
your rocket's gonna fly

867
00:54:30,309 --> 00:54:29,359
well we're definitely gonna we

868
00:54:31,349 --> 00:54:30,319
definitely had to keep the weight down

869
00:54:33,510 --> 00:54:31,359
that was definitely one thing that we

870
00:54:35,109 --> 00:54:33,520
had to keep in mind we also had to run

871
00:54:36,549 --> 00:54:35,119
various simulations we want to determine

872
00:54:38,390 --> 00:54:36,559
the drag coefficient that was a very big

873
00:54:39,670 --> 00:54:38,400
issue for our team uh you know on the

874
00:54:41,030 --> 00:54:39,680
ascendant is obviously a big issue but

875
00:54:42,710 --> 00:54:41,040
even more so on the descent we're trying

876
00:54:44,230 --> 00:54:42,720
to get that descent time down i'd say

877
00:54:45,430 --> 00:54:44,240
those are the two primary factors we

878
00:54:47,349 --> 00:54:45,440
have to keep in mind when we're trying

879
00:54:49,109 --> 00:54:47,359
to dial in on this design and get it to

880
00:54:50,150 --> 00:54:49,119
the right altitude excellent well guys

881
00:54:51,670 --> 00:54:50,160
we're gonna let you head out to the

882
00:54:53,270 --> 00:54:51,680
launch rail thank you for joining us

883
00:54:55,030 --> 00:54:53,280
today we can't wait to see your rocket

884
00:54:56,630 --> 00:54:55,040
fly here in just a few minutes thank you

885
00:54:58,470 --> 00:54:56,640
very much thank you thank you good luck

886
00:55:00,390 --> 00:54:58,480
that is granada hills high school from

887
00:55:01,589 --> 00:55:00,400
california now you guys are seeing

888
00:55:02,630 --> 00:55:01,599
student launch

889
00:55:04,230 --> 00:55:02,640
and

890
00:55:05,829 --> 00:55:04,240
we're going to uh

891
00:55:08,069 --> 00:55:05,839
student launch is one of the many ways

892
00:55:10,549 --> 00:55:08,079
that we use to inspire and engage in the

893
00:55:13,430 --> 00:55:10,559
next generation i want to bring in our

894
00:55:15,430 --> 00:55:13,440
next guest a dear friend and a long time

903
00:55:34,309 --> 00:55:32,400
interactive novel now first amanda tell

904
00:55:35,829 --> 00:55:34,319
us what you do with nasa and then also

905
00:55:38,150 --> 00:55:35,839
what is first woman

906
00:55:39,829 --> 00:55:38,160
sure so i am the stem engagement

907
00:55:41,990 --> 00:55:39,839
coordinator for nasa's space technology

908
00:55:44,150 --> 00:55:42,000
mission directorate and we have just put

909
00:55:46,789 --> 00:55:44,160
out pretty recently first woman which is

910
00:55:49,190 --> 00:55:46,799
nasa's first interactive graphic novel

911
00:55:51,109 --> 00:55:49,200
this novel is loaded with interactive

912
00:55:53,190 --> 00:55:51,119
content where you can learn about real

913
00:55:55,430 --> 00:55:53,200
nasa technologies that are helping us

914
00:55:57,990 --> 00:55:55,440
learn to live and work on the moon and

915
00:56:00,230 --> 00:55:58,000
it follows our fictional astronaut cali

916
00:56:01,430 --> 00:56:00,240
who is the first woman to walk on the

917
00:56:03,589 --> 00:56:01,440
moon

918
00:56:04,950 --> 00:56:03,599
now amanda why is it important for nasa

919
00:56:06,789 --> 00:56:04,960
and our space technology mission

920
00:56:08,870 --> 00:56:06,799
directorate to do products like first

921
00:56:10,630 --> 00:56:08,880
woman sure so we are very interested in

922
00:56:12,870 --> 00:56:10,640
engaging the next generation of space

923
00:56:14,870 --> 00:56:12,880
explorers our artemis generation as we

924
00:56:16,309 --> 00:56:14,880
prepare to return to the moon with the

925
00:56:19,670 --> 00:56:16,319
first woman and the first person of

926
00:56:22,069 --> 00:56:19,680
color so this uh this tool will engage

927
00:56:24,470 --> 00:56:22,079
students and be able to scan through qr

928
00:56:26,870 --> 00:56:24,480
codes to access inter interactive

929
00:56:29,430 --> 00:56:26,880
material in both english and spanish so

930
00:56:31,349 --> 00:56:29,440
we're really excited to use this tool to

931
00:56:34,470 --> 00:56:31,359
get it into the hands of our next

932
00:56:36,710 --> 00:56:34,480
generation of astronauts and uh people

933
00:56:39,190 --> 00:56:36,720
like us well so amanda i know i'm gonna

934
00:56:40,710 --> 00:56:39,200
get my copy and nerd out over it

935
00:56:42,309 --> 00:56:40,720
for anybody wanting to get a copy of and

936
00:56:44,870 --> 00:56:42,319
get their hands on first woman where can

937
00:56:46,630 --> 00:56:44,880
they find it absolutely you can find uh

938
00:56:50,069 --> 00:56:46,640
you can download a copy of the novel at

939
00:56:52,630 --> 00:56:50,079
nasa.gov slash cali first or you can

940
00:56:54,789 --> 00:56:52,640
download the app that has full of

941
00:56:56,789 --> 00:56:54,799
interactive features like you can walk

942
00:56:59,349 --> 00:56:56,799
through a life-size life-size scenes

943
00:57:01,589 --> 00:56:59,359
from the story as well as

944
00:57:03,910 --> 00:57:01,599
access virtual realities inside the

945
00:57:05,990 --> 00:57:03,920
space station you can download that app

946
00:57:08,309 --> 00:57:06,000
the first woman app from the google play

947
00:57:10,870 --> 00:57:08,319
store or the apple app store that's

948
00:57:13,670 --> 00:57:10,880
awesome now amanda um we're getting

949
00:57:14,870 --> 00:57:13,680
ready to to send the first people uh

950
00:57:17,109 --> 00:57:14,880
back to the moon for the first time

951
00:57:19,510 --> 00:57:17,119
since the apollo 17 mission a first

952
00:57:20,789 --> 00:57:19,520
woman is surely to is going to inspire

953
00:57:22,789 --> 00:57:20,799
that artemis generation who's going to

954
00:57:24,549 --> 00:57:22,799
take us there and then on to mars thanks

955
00:57:35,490 --> 00:57:24,559
so much for coming out and hanging out

956
00:57:35,500 --> 00:58:14,069
[Applause]

957
00:58:14,079 --> 00:58:43,910
so

958
00:58:43,920 --> 00:59:52,789
do

959
00:59:52,799 --> 00:59:59,430
so

960
00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:45,109
[Music]

961
01:00:57,640 --> 01:00:46,790
so

962
01:01:36,870 --> 01:01:03,109
[Music]

963
01:01:41,109 --> 01:01:38,630
hey everyone thanks for joining us we

964
01:01:42,309 --> 01:01:41,119
are joined by with another team and okay

965
01:01:44,630 --> 01:01:42,319
one of my favorite things about student

966
01:01:46,630 --> 01:01:44,640
launch is the paint jobs and the names

967
01:01:48,390 --> 01:01:46,640
of the rocket we've got yeah university

968
01:01:50,789 --> 01:01:48,400
of tennessee chattanooga tommy's here

969
01:01:52,789 --> 01:01:50,799
joining us tommy first tell us what the

970
01:01:55,670 --> 01:01:52,799
name of your rocket is we have wow e

971
01:01:58,150 --> 01:01:55,680
wackett senior here the third

972
01:01:59,910 --> 01:01:58,160
okay so if there's the third there's

973
01:02:01,589 --> 01:01:59,920
probably a story about why there's

974
01:02:03,349 --> 01:02:01,599
number three this is just the third

975
01:02:04,549 --> 01:02:03,359
launch third successful launch today is

976
01:02:07,029 --> 01:02:04,559
gonna happen

977
01:02:08,950 --> 01:02:07,039
and we're really excited about that

978
01:02:10,470 --> 01:02:08,960
that's awesome so what's the experience

979
01:02:12,390 --> 01:02:10,480
of nasa student launch been for it been

980
01:02:14,150 --> 01:02:12,400
like for you and your team uh it's a lot

981
01:02:15,910 --> 01:02:14,160
of stress it's a lot of

982
01:02:17,910 --> 01:02:15,920
character building

983
01:02:20,150 --> 01:02:17,920
it's a lot of opportunity to grow and

984
01:02:22,710 --> 01:02:20,160
improve and enter industry as

985
01:02:23,910 --> 01:02:22,720
experienced engineers that we need to be

986
01:02:25,510 --> 01:02:23,920
but what about all the fun that you're

987
01:02:29,029 --> 01:02:25,520
having

988
01:02:33,670 --> 01:02:31,910
so you mentioned um all the engineering

989
01:02:37,270 --> 01:02:33,680
what are any classes that have really

990
01:02:40,470 --> 01:02:37,280
helped you um get with this competition

991
01:02:42,630 --> 01:02:40,480
yeah for sure so so advanced fluids or

992
01:02:44,789 --> 01:02:42,640
gas dynamics is definitely a very useful

993
01:02:46,950 --> 01:02:44,799
class you learn about air and how it

994
01:02:49,270 --> 01:02:46,960
interacts with aerodynamics

995
01:02:51,589 --> 01:02:49,280
mechanics and materials statics dynamics

996
01:02:55,430 --> 01:02:51,599
they're all playing key key roles in our

997
01:02:58,069 --> 01:02:55,440
design and our creativity and also

998
01:03:01,190 --> 01:02:58,079
excellent classes in design and

999
01:03:03,750 --> 01:03:01,200
creativity led by dr elliott

1000
01:03:05,430 --> 01:03:03,760
who helped foster our creativity and

1001
01:03:07,670 --> 01:03:05,440
help channel that engineering into

1002
01:03:08,549 --> 01:03:07,680
actual real world solutions

1003
01:03:10,230 --> 01:03:08,559
you know i think that's really

1004
01:03:12,390 --> 01:03:10,240
interesting you mentioned the creativity

1005
01:03:14,390 --> 01:03:12,400
a lot of people think engineering is is

1006
01:03:16,390 --> 01:03:14,400
math and it's physics and you know it's

1007
01:03:18,549 --> 01:03:16,400
kind of a rigid discipline but the

1008
01:03:20,230 --> 01:03:18,559
reality is quite different isn't it yeah

1009
01:03:21,750 --> 01:03:20,240
engineering is is mostly about

1010
01:03:24,069 --> 01:03:21,760
creativity and then taking that

1011
01:03:26,150 --> 01:03:24,079
creativity and bounding in so starting

1012
01:03:28,390 --> 01:03:26,160
big and coming in small to a real world

1013
01:03:29,910 --> 01:03:28,400
application now talking about creativity

1014
01:03:32,069 --> 01:03:29,920
i know the payload challenge this year

1015
01:03:33,510 --> 01:03:32,079
is quite a challenging one how have you

1016
01:03:34,549 --> 01:03:33,520
guys tackled that and what is your

1017
01:03:36,870 --> 01:03:34,559
payload

1018
01:03:38,390 --> 01:03:36,880
system like to for that challenge

1019
01:03:41,029 --> 01:03:38,400
so we're going to be using feature

1020
01:03:43,190 --> 01:03:41,039
matching using sift algorithms it's a

1021
01:03:44,630 --> 01:03:43,200
big linear algebra puzzle

1022
01:03:46,789 --> 01:03:44,640
and we're also going to be running with

1023
01:03:49,349 --> 01:03:46,799
a rf trilateration approach as

1024
01:03:51,029 --> 01:03:49,359
verification for our main payload and so

1025
01:03:53,270 --> 01:03:51,039
we're really going to have two separate

1026
01:03:55,990 --> 01:03:53,280
systems verifying each other just like

1027
01:03:57,430 --> 01:03:56,000
in the real world you'd have two systems

1028
01:03:59,190 --> 01:03:57,440
well that's awesome guys your rocket

1029
01:04:01,430 --> 01:03:59,200
looks great i can see your entire team

1030
01:04:03,029 --> 01:04:01,440
looks great um before we let you go

1031
01:04:05,109 --> 01:04:03,039
anybody back home you want to thank any

1032
01:04:06,789 --> 01:04:05,119
sponsors any professors

1033
01:04:09,270 --> 01:04:06,799
yeah first of all dr elliot our main

1034
01:04:13,829 --> 01:04:09,280
faculty advisor here as well as dr gary

1035
01:04:15,270 --> 01:04:13,839
h mcdonald uh dr margraves the baja team

1036
01:04:18,470 --> 01:04:15,280
especially for lending tools and

1037
01:04:19,829 --> 01:04:18,480
supplies to us but for sure

1038
01:04:21,430 --> 01:04:19,839
that's awesome well y'all we're going to

1039
01:04:22,870 --> 01:04:21,440
be seeing their rocket launch later

1040
01:04:23,589 --> 01:04:22,880
today um

1041
01:04:26,710 --> 01:04:23,599
hi

1042
01:04:29,109 --> 01:04:26,720
can see it but there's another rocket

1043
01:04:30,950 --> 01:04:29,119
down here by the actual engine

1044
01:04:33,029 --> 01:04:30,960
um so we're gonna be able to see some

1045
01:04:35,510 --> 01:04:33,039
cartoon some creativity and some

1046
01:04:37,029 --> 01:04:35,520
engineering all uh come together today

1047
01:04:38,390 --> 01:04:37,039
at the nasa student launch guys we wish

1048
01:04:40,630 --> 01:04:38,400
you the best of luck thanks so much for

1049
01:04:42,390 --> 01:04:40,640
coming out here and joining us thank you

1050
01:05:10,320 --> 01:04:42,400
all right that is the university of

1051
01:05:49,730 --> 01:05:17,890
[Music]

1052

washington one of our rookie teams this

1062
01:10:31,830 --> 01:10:29,920
year you guys came all the way from the

1063
01:10:34,630 --> 01:10:31,840
pacific northwest to join us here in

1064
01:10:35,990 --> 01:10:34,640
alabama uh henry we met yesterday

1065
01:10:37,189 --> 01:10:36,000
you guys your rockets out there on the

1066
01:10:39,270 --> 01:10:37,199
rail what's kind of going through your

1067
01:10:40,709 --> 01:10:39,280
mind as you're getting ready for this uh

1068
01:10:42,870 --> 01:10:40,719
just feeling really stoked about it

1069
01:10:44,790 --> 01:10:42,880
feeling really confident we've done

1070
01:10:46,630 --> 01:10:44,800
everything we can we feel really good

1071
01:10:47,750 --> 01:10:46,640
testing's gone well everything feels

1072
01:10:49,030 --> 01:10:47,760
good

1073
01:10:50,310 --> 01:10:49,040
the nerves are always here though you

1074
01:10:52,790 --> 01:10:50,320
know the button it always makes you

1075
01:10:54,870 --> 01:10:52,800
nervous but feeling really good nervous

1076
01:10:56,470 --> 01:10:54,880
excited really happy to be here

1077
01:10:58,470 --> 01:10:56,480
absolutely so this is your first year

1078
01:11:00,229 --> 01:10:58,480
participating yes this is our first year

1079
01:11:01,590 --> 01:11:00,239
participating in any capacity in the

1080
01:11:02,950 --> 01:11:01,600
student loan so tell us about the

1081
01:11:05,270 --> 01:11:02,960
challenges of being a first-time team

1082
01:11:08,149 --> 01:11:05,280
and not having a base oh

1083
01:11:10,550 --> 01:11:08,159
it's been a ride

1084
01:11:13,030 --> 01:11:10,560
a lot of the things we went into it and

1085
01:11:15,110 --> 01:11:13,040
found very quickly that oh this is a lot

1086
01:11:17,189 --> 01:11:15,120
bigger than we thought um i think when

1087
01:11:18,310 --> 01:11:17,199
we first started this project uh it was

1088
01:11:20,470 --> 01:11:18,320
a little email that came from our

1089
01:11:21,669 --> 01:11:20,480
advisor dr darcy snowden uh she sent an

1090
01:11:22,870 --> 01:11:21,679
email and said hey if you guys want to

1091
01:11:25,030 --> 01:11:22,880
do this

1092
01:11:27,750 --> 01:11:25,040
go ahead if you don't don't want to yeah

1093
01:11:29,830 --> 01:11:27,760
and uh then it turned into a whole beast

1094
01:11:32,149 --> 01:11:29,840
but uh it's been an adventure we've

1095
01:11:33,590 --> 01:11:32,159
learned a lot um the scope of things is

1096
01:11:35,590 --> 01:11:33,600
beyond anything i think any of us

1097
01:11:37,669 --> 01:11:35,600
imagined but very pleased yeah that's

1098
01:11:39,350 --> 01:11:37,679
how we suck you in yeah

1099
01:11:40,630 --> 01:11:39,360
so so speaking of the scope of things

1100
01:11:41,910 --> 01:11:40,640
how have you guys tackled this year's

1101
01:11:43,990 --> 01:11:41,920
payload challenge

1102
01:11:46,070 --> 01:11:44,000
yeah so we went with a visual tracking

1103
01:11:47,430 --> 01:11:46,080
method al if you want to talk about it

1104
01:11:49,189 --> 01:11:47,440
yeah so we decided to go with a visual

1105
01:11:53,430 --> 01:11:49,199
tracking method we went with a uh

1106
01:11:56,630 --> 01:11:53,440
pxe2cam um it was intended for like very

1107
01:11:58,070 --> 01:11:56,640
close practice so we had to get creative

1108
01:11:59,590 --> 01:11:58,080
with how we used the information that we

1109
01:12:01,189 --> 01:11:59,600
got from it we decided to go with

1110
01:12:02,790 --> 01:12:01,199
extremely obnoxious colors if you can

1111
01:12:05,030 --> 01:12:02,800
see over there on our tent

1112
01:12:07,189 --> 01:12:05,040
to get about a street uh about as steep

1113
01:12:08,390 --> 01:12:07,199
a color gradient as we could possibly

1114
01:12:09,910 --> 01:12:08,400
manage

1115
01:12:12,470 --> 01:12:09,920
to increase the probability of the

1116
01:12:14,709 --> 01:12:12,480
camera actually seeing our target um and

1117
01:12:16,950 --> 01:12:14,719
then through just a

1118
01:12:18,470 --> 01:12:16,960
couple linear transformations and uh

1119
01:12:20,149 --> 01:12:18,480
trigonometry we're going to be able to

1120
01:12:23,110 --> 01:12:20,159
detect a distance

1121
01:12:24,470 --> 01:12:23,120
at location on the grid and just uh

1122
01:12:27,030 --> 01:12:24,480
hopefully get as much information as we

1123
01:12:29,510 --> 01:12:27,040
can so your rocket tent your your pits

1124
01:12:31,110 --> 01:12:29,520
pit box essentially is part of uh your

1125
01:12:33,350 --> 01:12:31,120
rocket's success and your payload

1126
01:12:36,149 --> 01:12:33,360
exactly yeah absolutely

1127
01:12:37,990 --> 01:12:36,159
that's awesome um so do you guys what

1128
01:12:39,350 --> 01:12:38,000
did you name your rocket

1129
01:12:41,270 --> 01:12:39,360
uh we've actually named our rocket

1130
01:12:42,630 --> 01:12:41,280
newbie we're a first-year team and we

1131
01:12:44,870 --> 01:12:42,640
thought it'd be a cute little thing to

1132
01:12:46,470 --> 01:12:44,880
name it newbie uh we have a little bee

1133
01:12:49,030 --> 01:12:46,480
drawn on like the top of the rocket you

1134
01:12:50,709 --> 01:12:49,040
know holding on

1135
01:12:51,990 --> 01:12:50,719
nice fun little addition but we've named

1136
01:12:54,550 --> 01:12:52,000
it newbie and we've named our tracking

1137
01:12:57,669 --> 01:12:54,560
method avatar uh which is short for a

1138
01:12:59,910 --> 01:12:57,679
visual analysis tracking of a rocket um

1139
01:13:01,189 --> 01:12:59,920
awesome aptly named okay they you can

1140
01:13:03,189 --> 01:13:01,199
tell they're true engineers you guys are

1141
01:13:04,950 --> 01:13:03,199
ready to join the space flight industry

1142
01:13:06,950 --> 01:13:04,960
you're already working the acronyms in

1143
01:13:08,790 --> 01:13:06,960
that way um

1144
01:13:10,390 --> 01:13:08,800
that's quite impressive so how many of

1145
01:13:12,870 --> 01:13:10,400
y'all are fixing to graduate and how

1146
01:13:15,669 --> 01:13:12,880
many are coming back next year uh i

1147
01:13:17,590 --> 01:13:15,679
believe five or six of us are graduating

1148
01:13:19,270 --> 01:13:17,600
um haven't really talked about next year

1149
01:13:21,430 --> 01:13:19,280
we're getting through this year first

1150
01:13:23,830 --> 01:13:21,440
like having a baby yeah

1151
01:13:26,790 --> 01:13:23,840
get through this one first yeah

1152
01:13:31,030 --> 01:13:26,800
i haven't had a baby yet but

1153
01:13:34,630 --> 01:13:32,709
well so guys we sure appreciate you

1154
01:13:36,149 --> 01:13:34,640
coming what's been

1155
01:13:38,070 --> 01:13:36,159
the highlight for you guys coming down

1156
01:13:40,149 --> 01:13:38,080
from from washington north i know it's a

1157
01:13:41,750 --> 01:13:40,159
little bit different world down here a

1158
01:13:42,790 --> 01:13:41,760
little bit different terrain

1159
01:13:45,830 --> 01:13:42,800
i'd say

1160
01:13:48,709 --> 01:13:45,840
meeting the other teams everyone has

1161
01:13:50,070 --> 01:13:48,719
been so incredibly kind and helpful for

1162
01:13:52,870 --> 01:13:50,080
things that we weren't able to bring

1163
01:13:54,310 --> 01:13:52,880
just through flying like extra duct tape

1164
01:13:56,709 --> 01:13:54,320
we've ran into some really wonderful

1165
01:13:58,630 --> 01:13:56,719
teams and just wonderful people to talk

1166
01:14:00,790 --> 01:13:58,640
to they've all been super sweet and

1167
01:14:02,310 --> 01:14:00,800
helpful along the way that is really

1168
01:14:04,229 --> 01:14:02,320
nice you can't make a rocket without

1169
01:14:08,310 --> 01:14:04,239
duct tape

1170
01:14:10,070 --> 01:14:08,320
[Laughter]

1171
01:14:12,390 --> 01:14:10,080
they're truly getting the engineering uh

1172
01:14:13,590 --> 01:14:12,400
perspective and the right practices in

1173
01:14:15,590 --> 01:14:13,600
place early

1174
01:14:17,669 --> 01:14:15,600
guys thank you so much for coming out

1175
01:14:19,430 --> 01:14:17,679
here we're so thrilled to have we love

1176
01:14:20,790 --> 01:14:19,440
all of our teams the rookie teams have a

1177
01:14:22,790 --> 01:14:20,800
special place in my heart because i know

1178
01:14:23,990 --> 01:14:22,800
how big of a task this is for you best

1179
01:14:25,830 --> 01:14:24,000
of luck in today's launch and we can't

1180
01:14:28,070 --> 01:14:25,840
wait to see your rocket fly thank you so

1181
01:14:28,950 --> 01:14:28,080
much thank you guys thank you appreciate

1182
01:14:30,470 --> 01:14:28,960
it all right

1183
01:14:31,750 --> 01:14:30,480
that is the university of central

1184
01:14:32,790 --> 01:14:31,760
washington one of our rookie teams

1185
01:14:34,310 --> 01:14:32,800
they're gonna be flying here their

1186
01:14:37,330 --> 01:14:34,320
rockets out on the rails right now

1187
01:15:01,860 --> 01:14:37,340
they're gonna be launching here shortly

1188
01:16:23,030 --> 01:15:04,709
[Music]

1189
01:16:26,870 --> 01:16:25,350
hi welcome back to nasa student launch

1190
01:16:28,229 --> 01:16:26,880
we're going to talk to madison west high

1191
01:16:30,870 --> 01:16:28,239
school they were our first launch of the

1192
01:16:32,149 --> 01:16:30,880
day with their rocket named persephone

1193
01:16:33,990 --> 01:16:32,159
high school they were our first launch

1194
01:16:35,910 --> 01:16:34,000
of the day with their rocket named

1195
01:16:37,430 --> 01:16:35,920
persephone tell us a little bit about

1196
01:16:39,590 --> 01:16:37,440
how the launch went

1197
01:16:41,270 --> 01:16:39,600
um it went great um

1198
01:16:42,870 --> 01:16:41,280
it was a super huge honor to be the

1199
01:16:44,550 --> 01:16:42,880
first launch today

1200
01:16:46,390 --> 01:16:44,560
and it was really gratifying to see

1201
01:16:47,750 --> 01:16:46,400
everything work as planned

1202
01:16:49,510 --> 01:16:47,760
so i didn't have you introduce

1203
01:16:51,350 --> 01:16:49,520
yourselves tell us who you are um i'm

1204
01:16:53,270 --> 01:16:51,360
julia lee we're from madison west high

1205
01:16:54,470 --> 01:16:53,280
school in madison wisconsin

1206
01:16:55,750 --> 01:16:54,480
okay we'd like to hear a little bit more

1207
01:16:57,110 --> 01:16:55,760
about your payload you had a more

1208
01:16:58,550 --> 01:16:57,120
interesting payload this year and you

1209
01:17:00,390 --> 01:16:58,560
had to go take care of business after

1210
01:17:03,189 --> 01:17:00,400
the launch to see how it worked

1211
01:17:05,750 --> 01:17:03,199
yes um our payload has sourdough

1212
01:17:07,590 --> 01:17:05,760
starters and yogurt inside which both

1213
01:17:09,510 --> 01:17:07,600
have bacteria and symbiotic

1214
01:17:10,870 --> 01:17:09,520
relationships which means that right

1215
01:17:12,870 --> 01:17:10,880
after the launch we had to put it right

1216
01:17:14,790 --> 01:17:12,880
back in their cooler

1217
01:17:17,510 --> 01:17:14,800
that is terrific so what what results

1218
01:17:19,110 --> 01:17:17,520
did you see immediately um our project

1219
01:17:22,229 --> 01:17:19,120
actually studies the more long-term

1220
01:17:25,110 --> 01:17:22,239
results um to really see the effects of

1221
01:17:26,310 --> 01:17:25,120
the flight but okay gotcha so tell me

1222
01:17:27,669 --> 01:17:26,320
how long has your team been coming to

1223
01:17:30,950 --> 01:17:27,679
student launch

1224
01:17:32,149 --> 01:17:30,960
17 years since about 2005 i think

1225
01:17:34,070 --> 01:17:32,159
longer than me

1226
01:17:36,870 --> 01:17:34,080
yeah absolutely in fact this

1227
01:17:38,709 --> 01:17:36,880
competition's a little over 20 years so

1228
01:17:40,390 --> 01:17:38,719
madison west has been coming

1229
01:17:42,390 --> 01:17:40,400
pretty much all those years

1230
01:17:43,910 --> 01:17:42,400
and uh we love to see it

1231
01:17:45,910 --> 01:17:43,920
one of the fascinating things is you

1232
01:17:47,189 --> 01:17:45,920
talked about your long-term payloads

1233
01:17:49,189 --> 01:17:47,199
it's one of the things that we do with

1234
01:17:51,189 --> 01:17:49,199
nasa is we have payloads and we don't

1235
01:17:53,350 --> 01:17:51,199
always get the data right away a lot of

1236
01:17:55,590 --> 01:17:53,360
time it's a little bit down the road now

1237
01:17:58,149 --> 01:17:55,600
i see your rocket has a bit of a unique

1238
01:18:00,870 --> 01:17:58,159
shape you've got um

1239
01:18:03,510 --> 01:18:00,880
taper up there in the mid part oh what's

1240
01:18:05,669 --> 01:18:03,520
the reasoning behind that taper and

1241
01:18:07,350 --> 01:18:05,679
what went into making that decision

1242
01:18:09,270 --> 01:18:07,360
we have a transition in our rocket

1243
01:18:11,270 --> 01:18:09,280
because we needed the space for the

1244
01:18:13,430 --> 01:18:11,280
payload and our bottom booster section

1245
01:18:15,350 --> 01:18:13,440
of the rocket but wanted to be able to

1246
01:18:17,110 --> 01:18:15,360
deploy our parachutes easily with a

1247
01:18:18,870 --> 01:18:17,120
smaller diameter

1248
01:18:19,750 --> 01:18:18,880
so now talk to us about the paint scheme

1249
01:18:21,350 --> 01:18:19,760
because

1250
01:18:23,189 --> 01:18:21,360
it's glittery here in the sunlight it's

1251
01:18:24,709 --> 01:18:23,199
a beautiful rocket

1252
01:18:26,390 --> 01:18:24,719
who painted it and how did you guys come

1253
01:18:28,550 --> 01:18:26,400
to this design um

1254
01:18:30,229 --> 01:18:28,560
i painted it or the team kind of came up

1255
01:18:32,070 --> 01:18:30,239
with the idea we wanted to mimic our

1256
01:18:34,709 --> 01:18:32,080
mission patch and kind of emulate our

1257
01:18:37,510 --> 01:18:34,719
project name which is persephone because

1258
01:18:39,669 --> 01:18:37,520
of the cycles and fermentation and we

1259
01:18:41,030 --> 01:18:39,679
kind of went for night and day

1260
01:18:43,350 --> 01:18:41,040
transitioning from the night and the

1261
01:18:45,030 --> 01:18:43,360
stars and the glitter to clouds and

1262
01:18:47,189 --> 01:18:45,040
flowers on top

1263
01:18:48,790 --> 01:18:47,199
yo it's a beautiful rocket

1264
01:18:50,550 --> 01:18:48,800
i love it so it's not all science and

1265
01:18:51,510 --> 01:18:50,560
business it's a little bit of creativity

1266
01:18:52,870 --> 01:18:51,520
and art

1267
01:18:54,709 --> 01:18:52,880
right

1268
01:18:56,229 --> 01:18:54,719
well guys that is madison west thank you

1269
01:18:57,510 --> 01:18:56,239
so much for coming out thanks for

1270
01:18:59,590 --> 01:18:57,520
getting your rocket ready so we could

1271
01:19:01,189 --> 01:18:59,600
have a really awesome start to the day

1272
01:19:03,430 --> 01:19:01,199
it was a beautiful launch we love seeing

1273
01:19:04,790 --> 01:19:03,440
it fly and come down thanks again for

1274
01:19:05,990 --> 01:19:04,800

rookie teams the first year coming out

1286
01:21:40,870 --> 01:21:39,440
yeah we just had another rookie team i'm

1287
01:21:42,229 --> 01:21:40,880
interested in hearing if they had a

1288
01:21:43,750 --> 01:21:42,239
similar experience what was it like

1289
01:21:45,030 --> 01:21:43,760
being the first year team

1290
01:21:46,310 --> 01:21:45,040
it was great we've been working on this

1291
01:21:48,470 --> 01:21:46,320
as our capstone project through our

1292
01:21:49,750 --> 01:21:48,480
engineering department so uh we've been

1293
01:21:51,350 --> 01:21:49,760
working on that for the past year and a

1294
01:21:53,189 --> 01:21:51,360
half or so and yeah it's been a great

1295
01:21:55,590 --> 01:21:53,199
experience we're so glad to be here and

1296
01:21:56,470 --> 01:21:55,600
uh meeting everyone has been awesome

1297
01:21:58,709 --> 01:21:56,480
so

1298
01:22:00,149 --> 01:21:58,719
now that you're at the end of your first

1299
01:22:01,750 --> 01:22:00,159
year anything that you would do

1300
01:22:03,030 --> 01:22:01,760
differently uh maybe for next year or

1301
01:22:05,110 --> 01:22:03,040
advice you would pass on to the next

1302
01:22:06,709 --> 01:22:05,120
generation or the next year's team sure

1303
01:22:08,470 --> 01:22:06,719
yeah we have a junior team coming up

1304
01:22:10,070 --> 01:22:08,480
next year so they'll be here again

1305
01:22:11,990 --> 01:22:10,080
and i would say just stay with it keep

1306
01:22:14,149 --> 01:22:12,000
working it's a lot of work but it's

1307
01:22:15,189 --> 01:22:14,159
definitely worth it so stick to stick to

1308
01:22:16,870 --> 01:22:15,199
it yeah

1309
01:22:18,950 --> 01:22:16,880
so is this team all seniors you're ready

1310
01:22:20,870 --> 01:22:18,960
to graduate yes ma'am oh so you're gonna

1311
01:22:22,629 --> 01:22:20,880
toss it off to the next next year that's

1312
01:22:25,110 --> 01:22:22,639
great so how did you guys tackle this

1313
01:22:27,510 --> 01:22:25,120
year's payload challenge so we're using

1314
01:22:30,070 --> 01:22:27,520
two imu sensors that take acceleration

1315
01:22:31,990 --> 01:22:30,080
and gyroscope data and we integrate that

1316
01:22:33,990 --> 01:22:32,000
down to a position and that'll tell us

1317
01:22:35,590 --> 01:22:34,000
what grid location we're in

1318
01:22:38,790 --> 01:22:35,600
for anybody back home

1319
01:22:40,629 --> 01:22:38,800
or a certain host what is an imu so imu

1320
01:22:42,310 --> 01:22:40,639
is basically a sensor um and it just

1321
01:22:45,590 --> 01:22:42,320
takes acceleration readings and

1322
01:22:48,050 --> 01:22:46,790
yeah right yeah

1323
01:22:49,990 --> 01:22:48,060
it's not rocket science

1324
01:22:53,189 --> 01:22:50,000
[Laughter]

1325
01:22:55,030 --> 01:22:53,199

1380
01:26:17,350 --> 01:26:15,040
it's been amazing we've been able to

1381
01:26:19,910 --> 01:26:17,360
build a rocket from scratch and we're

1382
01:26:21,110 --> 01:26:19,920
all excited to be here

1383
01:26:22,790 --> 01:26:21,120

01:26:31,110 --> 01:26:29,360
officer here i'm from louisville

1388
01:26:34,629 --> 01:26:31,120
kentucky and i came all the way down to

1389
01:26:36,229 --> 01:26:34,639
uah to participate in our rocket program

1390
01:26:37,590 --> 01:26:36,239
so how long have you personally been

1391
01:26:39,270 --> 01:26:37,600
interested in rocketry i'm kind of

1392
01:26:40,229 --> 01:26:39,280
interested in how you all came to do

1393
01:26:41,910 --> 01:26:40,239
this

1394
01:26:44,070 --> 01:26:41,920
i mean i've been interested in it since

1395
01:26:47,270 --> 01:26:44,080
i was a kid space was always my favorite

1396
01:26:49,189 --> 01:26:47,280
thing as a child and then i saw those um

1397
01:26:50,950 --> 01:26:49,199
those big rockets at kennedy and i knew

1398
01:26:52,629 --> 01:26:50,960
that i wanted to do that

1399
01:26:53,990 --> 01:26:52,639
that was super those big rockets at

1400
01:26:55,910 --> 01:26:54,000
kennedy are always impressive and

1401
01:26:57,669 --> 01:26:55,920
they're amazing to watch launch now as a

1402
01:26:58,550 --> 01:26:57,679
safety officer what is your role on the

1403
01:27:01,110 --> 01:26:58,560
team

1404
01:27:03,430 --> 01:27:01,120
i look over the safety of the design

1405
01:27:04,950 --> 01:27:03,440
testing and launching of this rocket and

1406
01:27:06,629 --> 01:27:04,960
it's been awesome my whole team has

1407
01:27:08,629 --> 01:27:06,639
really helped me develop all of our

1408
01:27:10,470 --> 01:27:08,639
safety paperwork and stuff

1409
01:27:13,590 --> 01:27:10,480
what's a checklist i would assume yes i

1410
01:27:15,270 --> 01:27:13,600
got my checklist right here

1411
01:27:17,590 --> 01:27:15,280
now so your payload challenge i know

1412
01:27:19,990 --> 01:27:17,600
this is a difficult payload year how did

1413
01:27:24,149 --> 01:27:20,000
you guys approach that

1414
01:27:27,189 --> 01:27:25,430
all right come on in and introduce

1415
01:27:28,550 --> 01:27:27,199
yourselves as well

1416
01:27:30,550 --> 01:27:28,560
uh my name is adam garrett and i'm on

1417
01:27:32,310 --> 01:27:30,560
the payload team yeah i'm declan brick

1418
01:27:33,910 --> 01:27:32,320
i'm also a pillow team member all right

1419
01:27:35,270 --> 01:27:33,920
so now your safety officer brought you

1420
01:27:37,669 --> 01:27:35,280
guys up here to talk about the payload

1421
01:27:39,430 --> 01:27:37,679
what's on board that rocket

1422
01:27:41,430 --> 01:27:39,440
uh yeah we have an uh inertial

1423
01:27:42,870 --> 01:27:41,440
navigation system um so basically just

1424
01:27:45,030 --> 01:27:42,880
consists of some accelerometers and

1425
01:27:46,870 --> 01:27:45,040
gyroscopes um and that just tracks

1426
01:27:50,070 --> 01:27:46,880
rocket during flight and then uh lots of

1427
01:27:51,510 --> 01:27:50,080
math later we uh get our position

1428
01:27:55,910 --> 01:27:51,520
excellent now what uh what target

1429
01:27:59,830 --> 01:27:58,470
so over 4 000 feet in the air i can't

1430
01:28:02,950 --> 01:27:59,840
even

1431
01:28:04,629 --> 01:28:02,960
imagine that um so you selected 4 300

1432
01:28:05,830 --> 01:28:04,639
feet what um how close do you think

1433
01:28:07,189 --> 01:28:05,840
you're going to come today based on your

1434
01:28:09,430 --> 01:28:07,199
test flights

1435
01:28:10,709 --> 01:28:09,440
we'll get up there we'll get up

1436
01:28:12,470 --> 01:28:10,719
we'll get up there don't you worry

1437
01:28:15,590 --> 01:28:12,480
you're not going to give us a range uh

1438
01:28:16,709 --> 01:28:15,600
probably over 43 at least like 43 is

1439
01:28:17,910 --> 01:28:16,719
probably minimum we don't want to go

1440
01:28:21,110 --> 01:28:17,920
under

1441
01:28:22,629 --> 01:28:21,120
a lot of sponsors a lot of support that

1442
01:28:25,830 --> 01:28:22,639
helped you get here and build this

1443
01:28:27,590 --> 01:28:25,840
rocket anybody you want to thank

1444
01:28:30,629 --> 01:28:27,600
uh yeah i'd like to thank our sponsors

1445
01:28:35,110 --> 01:28:30,639
that's jacobs the national space club

1446
01:28:37,270 --> 01:28:35,120
the alabama space consortium and

1447
01:28:38,790 --> 01:28:37,280

x-ray telescopes help us really

1476
01:33:26,870 --> 01:33:24,960
understand different parts of the sky

1477
01:33:27,990 --> 01:33:26,880
than what you would see with a telescope

1478
01:33:29,750 --> 01:33:28,000
you probably have at your house your

1479
01:33:31,350 --> 01:33:29,760
backyard or your school

1480
01:33:34,070 --> 01:33:31,360
or some some other place where you've

1481
01:33:37,110 --> 01:33:34,080
seen a telescope so the sky looks really

1482
01:33:38,629 --> 01:33:37,120
different in x-rays than it does in

1483
01:33:41,030 --> 01:33:38,639
sort of the light that we're normally

1484
01:33:43,030 --> 01:33:41,040
used to seeing and by looking at all

1485
01:33:44,950 --> 01:33:43,040
these different kinds of light we're

1486
01:33:47,430 --> 01:33:44,960
able to really understand

1487
01:33:49,110 --> 01:33:47,440
better what's going on out in space now

1488
01:33:51,189 --> 01:33:49,120
when most people think space telescopes

1489
01:33:53,350 --> 01:33:51,199
they probably envision hubble and its

1490
01:33:55,430 --> 01:33:53,360
giant mirrors but the setup for shander

1491
01:33:57,510 --> 01:33:55,440
is a little different than that isn't it

1492
01:34:00,070 --> 01:33:57,520
a little bit so the mirrors look

1493
01:34:03,350 --> 01:34:00,080
different they don't uh they're not sort

1494
01:34:04,870 --> 01:34:03,360
of shells of a shells of a circle or

1495
01:34:06,629 --> 01:34:04,880
they're not something you can look into

1496
01:34:09,030 --> 01:34:06,639
very easily and see your own face in

1497
01:34:11,350 --> 01:34:09,040
them they're kind of these long barrels

1498
01:34:13,510 --> 01:34:11,360
and because of the way x-rays are best

1499
01:34:15,350 --> 01:34:13,520
reflected you get these long barrels and

1500
01:34:17,430 --> 01:34:15,360
everything comes in practically straight

1501
01:34:19,990 --> 01:34:17,440
on and skips off the surfaces of those

1502
01:34:21,590 --> 01:34:20,000
mirrors like rocks on the water

1503
01:34:23,910 --> 01:34:21,600
now tell us talk to us about what your

1504
01:34:26,149 --> 01:34:23,920
role well what the space telescope is so

1505
01:34:28,950 --> 01:34:26,159
i work in the project science office

1506
01:34:31,350 --> 01:34:28,960
which basically means that i help

1507
01:34:33,189 --> 01:34:31,360
sort of oversee what's going on with all

1508
01:34:33,990 --> 01:34:33,199
the operations and some of the end some

1509
01:34:35,750 --> 01:34:34,000
of the engineering at least the

1510
01:34:38,390 --> 01:34:35,760
engineering they have to do now but

1511
01:34:40,629 --> 01:34:38,400
really help understand how the project

1512
01:34:42,470 --> 01:34:40,639
and how all the operations sort of

1513
01:34:44,390 --> 01:34:42,480
best serve the science community

1514
01:34:46,470 --> 01:34:44,400
chandra's been up there for a number of

1515
01:34:48,950 --> 01:34:46,480
years now have there been any surprise

1516
01:34:51,109 --> 01:34:48,960
discoveries well there have been a lot

1517
01:34:53,750 --> 01:34:51,119
um it's been up for 23 years and it's

1518
01:34:54,550 --> 01:34:53,760
been doing really awesome science every

1519
01:34:56,149 --> 01:34:54,560
year

1520
01:34:58,229 --> 01:34:56,159
um so what i'll say is there have been

1521
01:35:00,310 --> 01:34:58,239
lots of surprises about sort of the

1522
01:35:02,310 --> 01:35:00,320
population of black holes going all the

1523
01:35:04,950 --> 01:35:02,320
way back to the earliest stages of the

1524
01:35:07,189 --> 01:35:04,960
universe and lots of surprises with

1525
01:35:08,790 --> 01:35:07,199
supernova remnants and my personal

1526
01:35:10,830 --> 01:35:08,800
favorite which are galaxy clusters which

1527
01:35:13,910 --> 01:35:10,840
are these giant

1528
01:35:15,910 --> 01:35:13,920
amalgamations of hot gas and galaxies

1529
01:35:17,830 --> 01:35:15,920
thousands of galaxies all orbiting

1530
01:35:20,149 --> 01:35:17,840
around a single point that it's

1531
01:35:20,950 --> 01:35:20,159
weighs as much as a million billion suns

1532
01:35:22,870 --> 01:35:20,960
so

1533
01:35:24,629 --> 01:35:22,880
now when we see those images and i know

1534
01:35:25,510 --> 01:35:24,639
chandra is part of

1535
01:35:26,790 --> 01:35:25,520
one of

1536
01:35:28,550 --> 01:35:26,800
the many projects of marshall space

1537
01:35:31,270 --> 01:35:28,560
flight center's portfolios and those

1538
01:35:32,709 --> 01:35:31,280
pictures are absolutely stunning wink uh

1539
01:35:35,109 --> 01:35:32,719
when we get them

1540
01:35:36,310 --> 01:35:35,119
they are they they're really cool you

1541
01:35:38,390 --> 01:35:36,320
with the x-rays what you're really

1542
01:35:40,790 --> 01:35:38,400
seeing are like the fireworks you know

1543
01:35:43,189 --> 01:35:40,800
the really big explosions and the really

1544
01:35:45,030 --> 01:35:43,199
hot gas it's kind of uh it's really

1545
01:35:47,350 --> 01:35:45,040
where a lot of the really exciting

1546
01:35:48,629 --> 01:35:47,360
action can be

1547
01:35:50,470 --> 01:35:48,639
now just as you're seeing with these

1548
01:35:51,830 --> 01:35:50,480
rockets fly we're seeing the hot gas and

1549
01:35:53,109 --> 01:35:51,840
we're seeing the flames come out of the

1550
01:35:55,030 --> 01:35:53,119
back end

1551
01:35:56,390 --> 01:35:55,040
we're also studying them in the stars in

1552
01:35:57,510 --> 01:35:56,400
the galaxies and

1553
01:36:00,470 --> 01:35:57,520
things that

1554
01:36:02,790 --> 01:36:00,480
by far go beyond my comprehension but i

1555
01:36:04,070 --> 01:36:02,800
love to look at those pictures um now

1556
01:36:05,910 --> 01:36:04,080
talk to us so i'm going to pull in some

1557
01:36:08,629 --> 01:36:05,920
rocketry talk to us about the importance

1558
01:36:11,590 --> 01:36:08,639
of a launch vehicle uh for the telescope

1559
01:36:13,189 --> 01:36:11,600
well it the launch is a really important

1560
01:36:14,709 --> 01:36:13,199
part of course without the launch you

1561
01:36:16,550 --> 01:36:14,719
never make it up into space to begin

1562
01:36:18,149 --> 01:36:16,560
with um but what's really important

1563
01:36:19,910 --> 01:36:18,159
about the launch is you know every

1564
01:36:22,149 --> 01:36:19,920
spacecraft including chandra every

1565
01:36:23,990 --> 01:36:22,159
telescope has an orbit and that's part

1566
01:36:25,830 --> 01:36:24,000
of how they plan the mission how they

1567
01:36:27,750 --> 01:36:25,840
plan the science of the mission

1568
01:36:29,109 --> 01:36:27,760
what can you do from this spot out in

1569
01:36:32,149 --> 01:36:29,119
the space or what can you do from

1570
01:36:34,390 --> 01:36:32,159
another spot out in space so chandra has

1571
01:36:37,669 --> 01:36:34,400
a very specific orbit it's very very

1572
01:36:39,590 --> 01:36:37,679
elliptical it goes way above the earth

1573
01:36:41,510 --> 01:36:39,600
and it comes down it's a

1574
01:36:42,790 --> 01:36:41,520
sort of its closest it's still higher

1575
01:36:44,709 --> 01:36:42,800
than like the international space

1576
01:36:47,030 --> 01:36:44,719
station or something like that but it's

1577
01:36:49,590 --> 01:36:47,040
a lot closer but it's designed that way

1578
01:36:51,910 --> 01:36:49,600
in order to optimize certain science

1579
01:36:53,270 --> 01:36:51,920
goals and of course you need a vehicle

1580
01:36:54,629 --> 01:36:53,280
that can actually get it there and get

1581
01:36:56,950 --> 01:36:54,639
it to those speeds and get it to those

1582
01:36:57,990 --> 01:36:56,960
altitudes so those launch vehicles are

1583
01:36:59,669 --> 01:36:58,000
crucial

1584
01:37:02,470 --> 01:36:59,679
that's excellent now we sure appreciate

1585
01:37:03,590 --> 01:37:02,480
you joining us here today uh why why was

1586
01:37:05,510 --> 01:37:03,600
it important for you to come out here

1587
01:37:06,870 --> 01:37:05,520
and hang out with us at student launch

1588
01:37:09,030 --> 01:37:06,880
well

1589
01:37:10,550 --> 01:37:09,040
this is the next generation of

1590
01:37:12,950 --> 01:37:10,560
scientists and engineers who are going

1591
01:37:13,750 --> 01:37:12,960
to make the next generation of missions

1592
01:37:15,430 --> 01:37:13,760
and

1593
01:37:16,550 --> 01:37:15,440
there's always going to be new science

1594
01:37:17,830 --> 01:37:16,560
to learn and there's always going to be

1595
01:37:19,750 --> 01:37:17,840
really cool science to learn and it's

1596
01:37:21,350 --> 01:37:19,760
going to be it's going to require a lot

1597
01:37:22,709 --> 01:37:21,360
of hard thinking and you need people who

1598
01:37:24,149 --> 01:37:22,719
are ready to start doing that thinking

1599
01:37:25,750 --> 01:37:24,159
now so

1600
01:37:27,270 --> 01:37:25,760
that's all we need to encourage them we

1601
01:37:29,669 --> 01:37:27,280
sure appreciate you coming out here and

1602
01:37:30,870 --> 01:37:29,679
spending a few minutes with us i know uh

1603
01:37:31,910 --> 01:37:30,880
the next rock so i'm looking out there

1604
01:37:33,910 --> 01:37:31,920
we've got a bunch of rockets on the

1605
01:37:35,750 --> 01:37:33,920
rails we're not far from these launches

1606
01:37:37,430 --> 01:37:35,760
stephen thank you so much for coming out

1607
01:37:39,189 --> 01:37:37,440
and joining us out here now pleasure to

1608
01:37:40,950 --> 01:37:39,199
be here

1609
01:37:43,030 --> 01:37:40,960
y'all we do so much more at marshall

1610
01:37:44,629 --> 01:37:43,040
space flight center than just propulsion

1611
01:37:45,990 --> 01:37:44,639
i like the rocket

1612
01:37:47,910 --> 01:37:46,000
but we also do a lot of incredible

1613
01:37:49,669 --> 01:37:47,920
science and this is just one of the many

1614
01:37:51,750 --> 01:37:49,679
examples of what we do and how it

1615
01:38:19,780 --> 01:37:51,760
relates to what we're doing out here at

1616
01:39:29,990 --> 01:38:44,420
[Music]

1617
01:39:36,430 --> 01:39:32,149
space is for everyone we're all working

1618
01:39:40,950 --> 01:39:38,390
[Music]

1619
01:39:44,950 --> 01:39:40,960
just seeing people learn and grow and

1620
01:39:46,709 --> 01:39:44,960
the community benefiting as a whole

1621
01:39:49,750 --> 01:39:46,719
we have vendors from all around this

1622
01:39:51,990 --> 01:39:49,760
country and all of that's bringing in a

1623
01:39:54,550 --> 01:39:52,000
lot of jobs and getting to work in our

1624
01:39:57,910 --> 01:39:54,560
community i give back by seeing

1625
01:40:01,350 --> 01:39:57,920
companies grow my work means something

1626
01:40:07,990 --> 01:40:01,360
it provides people with ability to feed

1627
01:40:12,070 --> 01:40:09,510
not everyone who works on the space

1628
01:40:14,310 --> 01:40:12,080
program is is an engineer or scientist

1629
01:40:16,470 --> 01:40:14,320
in a white lab coat and there's vital

1630
01:40:18,950 --> 01:40:16,480
roles

1631
01:40:21,109 --> 01:40:18,960
everybody at nasa is very teamwork

1632
01:40:23,750 --> 01:40:21,119
driven nothing that we do here is done

1633
01:40:26,870 --> 01:40:23,760
by itself all successful missions come

1634
01:40:29,189 --> 01:40:26,880
from a team that works together that is

1635
01:40:31,270 --> 01:40:29,199
diverse and we each bring a different

1636
01:40:32,950 --> 01:40:31,280
perspective to the team to help us

1637
01:40:35,590 --> 01:40:32,960
achieve our goals

1638
01:40:37,590 --> 01:40:35,600
there's literally an expert kind of

1639
01:40:40,390 --> 01:40:37,600
within arm's reach that you can ask any

1640
01:40:43,530 --> 01:40:40,400
question to and you'll probably get one

1641
01:40:50,870 --> 01:40:43,540
of the best answers in the world

1642
01:40:55,270 --> 01:40:53,270
we take a lot of ownership and what we

1643
01:40:57,510 --> 01:40:55,280
do you get to see a lot of that passion

1644
01:41:00,070 --> 01:40:57,520
you get to see a lot of that drive

1645
01:41:02,550 --> 01:41:00,080
people want to do their best people want

1646
01:41:04,070 --> 01:41:02,560
to pull together to be a part of this

1647
01:41:06,550 --> 01:41:04,080
program that's bigger than what any of

1648
01:41:09,030 --> 01:41:06,560
us can accomplish on our own

1649
01:41:10,629 --> 01:41:09,040
[Applause]

1650
01:41:11,990 --> 01:41:10,639
nasa does the trailblazing with

1651
01:41:14,790 --> 01:41:12,000
technology

1652
01:41:16,550 --> 01:41:14,800
the kind of work we do you can't rest on

1653
01:41:18,390 --> 01:41:16,560
your laurels and say okay we're there

1654
01:41:20,950 --> 01:41:18,400
there's no end to what we can achieve so

1655
01:41:22,790 --> 01:41:20,960

preparing for today

1683
01:43:37,430 --> 01:43:34,719
it's been a lot of work we're a small

1684
01:43:39,510 --> 01:43:37,440
team so we've had to work a lot together

1685
01:43:40,550 --> 01:43:39,520
learn a lot of team building skills as

1686
01:43:42,149 --> 01:43:40,560
well as

1687
01:43:44,550 --> 01:43:42,159
just learning how to do a lot of the

1688
01:43:46,229 --> 01:43:44,560
documentation and some of the

1689
01:43:47,669 --> 01:43:46,239
just the new requirements that nasa

1690
01:43:49,030 --> 01:43:47,679
specifies

1691
01:43:51,109 --> 01:43:49,040
we've had a lot of challenges along the

1692
01:43:52,629 --> 01:43:51,119
way but we're just very thankful

1693
01:43:55,109 --> 01:43:52,639
to have made it to this point and we're

1694
01:43:56,950 --> 01:43:55,119
just thankful for the lord for that

1695
01:43:58,390 --> 01:43:56,960
well as a first year team you know you

1696
01:43:59,990 --> 01:43:58,400
mentioned you had some challenges there

1697
01:44:01,910 --> 01:44:00,000
are a lot of bumps that come with a

1698
01:44:03,990 --> 01:44:01,920
brand new experience so can you tell us

1699
01:44:05,750 --> 01:44:04,000
kind of what you've overcome to get to

1700
01:44:08,229 --> 01:44:05,760
this point today

1701
01:44:10,550 --> 01:44:08,239
so our second full-scale rocket launch

1702
01:44:13,350 --> 01:44:10,560
ended uh catastrophically which ended uh

1703
01:44:15,350 --> 01:44:13,360
catastrophically so we lost about 90 of

1704
01:44:17,590 --> 01:44:15,360
our vehicle and so

1705
01:44:21,189 --> 01:44:17,600
we had to rebuild our rocket in under

1706
01:44:22,709 --> 01:44:21,199
two weeks and fly uh to make it here and

1707
01:44:24,550 --> 01:44:22,719
honestly that was one of the hardest

1708
01:44:25,669 --> 01:44:24,560
challenges we ever faced

1709
01:44:28,870 --> 01:44:25,679
had to

1710
01:44:32,149 --> 01:44:28,880
do a lot of late nights and just work

1711
01:44:33,830 --> 01:44:32,159
really hard as a team and just the

1712
01:44:36,550 --> 01:44:33,840
the perseverance that went into getting

1713
01:44:37,270 --> 01:44:36,560
here and even the way that we found um

1714
01:44:38,709 --> 01:44:37,280
the

1715
01:44:39,590 --> 01:44:38,719
issue with our recovery system that we

1716
01:44:41,350 --> 01:44:39,600
fixed

1717
01:44:43,270 --> 01:44:41,360
uh i really believe like god really

1718
01:44:46,070 --> 01:44:43,280
wanted us here as a team and that's just

1719
01:44:48,390 --> 01:44:46,080
been like a really cool thing for us

1720
01:44:50,790 --> 01:44:48,400
way to push through congratulations for

1721
01:44:53,910 --> 01:44:50,800
making it here today and what advice

1722
01:44:56,070 --> 01:44:53,920
would you give to an up-and-coming team

1723
01:44:57,669 --> 01:44:56,080
so i would say for for new teams

1724
01:44:59,669 --> 01:44:57,679
definitely just

1725
01:45:02,709 --> 01:44:59,679
stick through it when the report writing

1726
01:45:05,350 --> 01:45:02,719
and the other sections are hard

1727
01:45:07,669 --> 01:45:05,360
stay together as a team and don't

1728
01:45:08,790 --> 01:45:07,679
don't use your energy against each other

1729
01:45:10,870 --> 01:45:08,800
use it to

1730
01:45:13,030 --> 01:45:10,880
to continue to build each other up

1731
01:45:14,629 --> 01:45:13,040
to sharpen one another and to encourage

1732
01:45:17,189 --> 01:45:14,639
each other as you're going

1733
01:45:19,109 --> 01:45:17,199
especially just as the timelines are

1734
01:45:21,590 --> 01:45:19,119
very tight and so just make sure you're

1735
01:45:22,550 --> 01:45:21,600
planning and that um just that you're

1736
01:45:25,350 --> 01:45:22,560
keeping

1737
01:45:27,510 --> 01:45:25,360
good interaction between the team

1738
01:45:29,669 --> 01:45:27,520
well you guys have overcome a lot to get

1739
01:45:31,750 --> 01:45:29,679
here today what do you think you are

1740
01:45:33,510 --> 01:45:31,760
most proud of working through all of

1741
01:45:36,790 --> 01:45:33,520
those challenges what's your most proud

1742
01:45:38,070 --> 01:45:36,800
moment of this experience so far

1743
01:45:39,590 --> 01:45:38,080
i think

1744
01:45:42,390 --> 01:45:39,600
the most proud moment was one of our

1745
01:45:43,910 --> 01:45:42,400
team members jacob titus made an air

1746
01:45:46,070 --> 01:45:43,920
brake system

1747
01:45:48,149 --> 01:45:46,080
as a single individual and he puts so

1748
01:45:50,149 --> 01:45:48,159
much work into it um after our

1749
01:45:52,390 --> 01:45:50,159
catastrophic failure it sadly got

1750
01:45:54,149 --> 01:45:52,400
destroyed and we couldn't rebuild it but

1751
01:45:56,390 --> 01:45:54,159
that was one of the coolest things we

1752
01:45:58,870 --> 01:45:56,400
did this year as a team just working on

1753
01:46:00,790 --> 01:45:58,880
the rocket and we're hoping that maybe

1754
01:46:02,149 --> 01:46:00,800
that experience can be used for our

1755
01:46:04,550 --> 01:46:02,159
future teams as well and we already have

1756
01:46:06,470 --> 01:46:04,560
a team for next year planning to come

1757
01:46:08,390 --> 01:46:06,480
we know it takes a whole team to get

1758
01:46:10,709 --> 01:46:08,400
here who else would you like to thank

1759
01:46:13,109 --> 01:46:10,719
maybe a professor or teacher for helping

1760
01:46:15,830 --> 01:46:13,119

[Music]

1795
01:50:08,550 --> 01:50:05,430
so we're back here at uh student launch

1796
01:50:09,990 --> 01:50:08,560
uh 2022 on a windy windy day uh we're

1797
01:50:12,149 --> 01:50:10,000
here with gerald mukes and uh you're the

1798
01:50:13,589 --> 01:50:12,159
guy that pushes the buttons are you not

1799
01:50:15,350 --> 01:50:13,599
i'm a part of the team that does push

1800
01:50:17,030 --> 01:50:15,360
the buttons yes so the part that i get

1801
01:50:18,550 --> 01:50:17,040
to do and really enjoy is to be able to

1802
01:50:20,310 --> 01:50:18,560
to talk about the projects that's going

1803
01:50:22,229 --> 01:50:20,320
up what we call a launch control officer

1804
01:50:24,550 --> 01:50:22,239
from from a hobby perspective and what

1805
01:50:26,310 --> 01:50:24,560
that role of the launch control officer

1806
01:50:27,830 --> 01:50:26,320
is to make sure that we're connecting

1807
01:50:29,669 --> 01:50:27,840
the rocket with the team with the crowd

1808
01:50:31,270 --> 01:50:29,679
so everybody knows what's going on so

1809
01:50:32,790 --> 01:50:31,280
everyone's engaged we always make sure

1810
01:50:35,430 --> 01:50:32,800
safety is the utmost importance to

1811
01:50:36,709 --> 01:50:35,440
what's happening with the event um but

1812
01:50:38,070 --> 01:50:36,719
then one of those functions does include

1813
01:50:39,589 --> 01:50:38,080
pushing the button but i'm able to

1814
01:50:41,350 --> 01:50:39,599
actually pass that off to have someone

1815
01:50:42,870 --> 01:50:41,360
else be able to push the button so i can

1816
01:50:44,870 --> 01:50:42,880
really focus in on talking about the

1817
01:50:46,629 --> 01:50:44,880
projects cause these are some really

1818
01:50:49,430 --> 01:50:46,639
incredible projects that are out there

1819
01:50:51,030 --> 01:50:49,440
and some of the types of payloads and

1820
01:50:53,030 --> 01:50:51,040
experiments they're testing out which is

1821
01:50:54,950 --> 01:50:53,040
really great and rewarding for for me to

1822
01:50:56,709 --> 01:50:54,960

1823
01:50:57,669 --> 01:50:56,719

1836
01:51:15,510 --> 01:51:14,400
the science of of uh of the launch

1837
01:51:17,589 --> 01:51:15,520
itself but you're asking all kinds of

1838
01:51:19,430 --> 01:51:17,599
like you know so sort of like what what

1839
01:51:20,709 --> 01:51:19,440
makes it personal to to each team and i

1840
01:51:21,669 --> 01:51:20,719
think that's i think that's really great

1841
01:51:23,589 --> 01:51:21,679
what are some of the cool things that

1842
01:51:25,030 --> 01:51:23,599
you've heard uh you've heard thus far

1843
01:51:27,270 --> 01:51:25,040
i i think what's really fun about

1844
01:51:28,870 --> 01:51:27,280
hearing some of the stories is just what

1845
01:51:30,229 --> 01:51:28,880
perseverance these teams have had to go

1846
01:51:32,709 --> 01:51:30,239
through to get where they're at here

1847
01:51:34,149 --> 01:51:32,719
today just hearing okay the rocket

1848
01:51:35,910 --> 01:51:34,159
didn't work as well so we've had to

1849
01:51:37,990 --> 01:51:35,920
rebuild it a couple different times but

1850
01:51:40,070 --> 01:51:38,000
it we feel confident to where we're at

1851
01:51:42,229 --> 01:51:40,080
we're testing out some new things the

1852
01:51:44,310 --> 01:51:42,239
paint's drying in root here using some

1853
01:51:46,790 --> 01:51:44,320
really large quick links stuff that i've

1854
01:51:48,390 --> 01:51:46,800
never see i saw a thimble being used as

1855
01:51:50,390 --> 01:51:48,400
part of the ejection

1856
01:51:51,910 --> 01:51:50,400
ejection charge so that part's really

1857
01:51:53,510 --> 01:51:51,920
neat because that gives me some of those

1858
01:51:55,589 --> 01:51:53,520
ideas because sometimes we like get set

1859
01:51:57,669 --> 01:51:55,599
in the ways of how we think a high power

1860
01:51:59,510 --> 01:51:57,679
hobby rocket should go and it's like no

1861
01:52:01,030 --> 01:51:59,520
this is what's great about this event is

1862
01:52:02,709 --> 01:52:01,040
it definitely helps out nasa and our in

1863
01:52:05,270 --> 01:52:02,719
our rocketry community but also helps us

1864
01:52:07,589 --> 01:52:05,280
out on a on a hobby front as well nice

1865
01:52:09,430 --> 01:52:07,599
and uh what uh do you have any any uh

1866
01:52:10,709 --> 01:52:09,440
any words of wisdom about what we're how

1867
01:52:12,149 --> 01:52:10,719
we're dealing with the wind today out

1868
01:52:13,830 --> 01:52:12,159
here yeah so that's that's a good thing

1869
01:52:15,109 --> 01:52:13,840
so one of the things i'm doing is lco is

1870
01:52:16,709 --> 01:52:15,119
making sure i'm kind of checking his

1871
01:52:18,950 --> 01:52:16,719
lcos making sure i'm kind of checking

1872
01:52:20,550 --> 01:52:18,960
for the sky checking for the range and

1873
01:52:22,149 --> 01:52:20,560
then we'll do the audible countdown to

1874
01:52:23,270 --> 01:52:22,159
launch well part of that is checking sky

1875
01:52:25,350 --> 01:52:23,280
looking at the weather and looking at

1876
01:52:26,709 --> 01:52:25,360
the wind conditions so when the wind's

1877
01:52:28,229 --> 01:52:26,719
kind of coming from the south kind of

1878
01:52:29,830 --> 01:52:28,239
blowing towards the crowd we actually

1879
01:52:31,510 --> 01:52:29,840
angle the pads to try to have the

1880
01:52:33,270 --> 01:52:31,520
rockets kind of divert around it now

1881
01:52:35,589 --> 01:52:33,280
with the wind being a headwind to us the

1882
01:52:37,350 --> 01:52:35,599
rockets actually want to turn turn like

1883
01:52:38,629 --> 01:52:37,360
into the wind and that's when the rocket

1884
01:52:39,990 --> 01:52:38,639
comes out under parachutes when it's

1885
01:52:41,830 --> 01:52:40,000
drifting down so one of the things that

1886
01:52:43,910 --> 01:52:41,840
i'm doing as a launch control officer is

1887
01:52:45,830 --> 01:52:43,920
telling the crowd look up point at the

1888
01:52:47,430 --> 01:52:45,840
rocket let your neighbor know so we're

1889
01:52:49,990 --> 01:52:47,440
making sure we're keeping safety of the

1890
01:52:51,510 --> 01:52:50,000
utmost importance yeah absolutely well

1891
01:52:52,870 --> 01:52:51,520
so uh since you're the guy that's doing

1892
01:52:54,070 --> 01:52:52,880
the countdowns and calling the shots

1893
01:52:56,070 --> 01:52:54,080
today we probably will let you get back

1894
01:52:57,510 --> 01:52:56,080
to it yeah it's time to go punch back in

1895
01:53:00,070 --> 01:52:57,520
and get back to work how many rockets do

1896
01:53:02,070 --> 01:53:00,080
we have coming up i think we're at like

1897
01:53:03,350 --> 01:53:02,080
seven or eight i think for this group so

1898
01:53:05,830 --> 01:53:03,360
there's there's a good amount of group

1899
01:53:07,109 --> 01:53:05,840
going so it'll be fun to resume some

1900
01:53:08,390 --> 01:53:07,119
rocket flying i think that's why we're

1901
01:53:09,669 --> 01:53:08,400
all here and hear some of the stories

1902
01:53:11,270 --> 01:53:09,679
now put the two pieces together and

1903
01:53:28,760 --> 01:53:11,280
let's go awesome well thanks for joining

1904
01:57:29,160 --> 01:54:18,220
[Music]

1905
01:58:20,970 --> 01:57:53,670
[Applause]

1906
01:58:20,980 --> 01:58:31,070
[Music]

1907
01:58:31,080 --> 01:58:36,550
[Applause]

1908
01:58:36,560 --> 01:58:58,950
[Music]

1909
01:58:58,960 --> 01:59:16,950
[Applause]

1910
01:59:37,360 --> 01:59:24,610
[Music]

1911
01:59:50,950 --> 01:59:39,980
[Applause]

1912
01:59:50,960 --> 02:00:22,550
so

1913
02:00:22,560 --> 02:00:28,229
there's an event

1914
02:00:32,709 --> 02:00:30,709
and this does house the jolly logic and

1915
02:00:35,189 --> 02:00:32,719
it should release

1916
02:00:39,030 --> 02:00:35,199
at 700 feet

1917
02:00:48,070 --> 02:00:41,350
see a little bit of the reflection from

1918
02:00:55,750 --> 02:00:51,430
and the main is set for 700 feet

1919
02:00:57,350 --> 02:00:55,760
still probably over a thousand feet

1920
02:00:58,950 --> 02:00:57,360
i'm not as good as art so i'm not gonna

1921
02:01:00,950 --> 02:00:58,960
be able to guess that 700 foot on the

1922
02:01:04,550 --> 02:01:00,960
mark we're getting closer though so we

1923
02:01:07,189 --> 02:01:04,560
should be at 700 feet right there

1924
02:01:11,430 --> 02:01:07,199
yes that is a awesome flight nice job

1925
02:01:20,070 --> 02:01:13,270
i feel like saluting that rocket that's

1926
02:01:24,229 --> 02:01:22,390
okay we're going to the next rocket

1927
02:01:26,310 --> 02:01:24,239
so just to the right of that one that

1928
02:01:29,030 --> 02:01:26,320
just uh and that rocket touched down so

1929
02:01:30,470 --> 02:01:29,040
they're all satisfied pad number 33 so

1930
02:01:32,790 --> 02:01:30,480
one that to the right of the one that

1931
02:01:36,149 --> 02:01:32,800
just took off this is granada hills

1932
02:01:39,030 --> 02:01:36,159
rocketry group they are called a a-y-s-o

1933
02:01:41,990 --> 02:01:39,040
region 174 in granada hills southern

1934
02:01:45,189 --> 02:01:42,000
california the name of this rock is c

1935
02:01:46,470 --> 02:01:45,199
cygnus it weighs 9.8 pounds 3-inch in

1936
02:01:48,790 --> 02:01:46,480
diameter

1937
02:01:50,790 --> 02:01:48,800
7.3 feet tall

1938
02:01:54,310 --> 02:01:50,800
the payloads purpose is to determine the

1939
02:01:57,830 --> 02:01:54,320
stability of potato life by mat by

1940
02:01:59,990 --> 02:01:57,840
measuring the lux co2 concentration

1941
02:02:01,830 --> 02:02:00,000
temperature and humidity at different

1942
02:02:04,709 --> 02:02:01,840
altitudes and ranking them by their

1943
02:02:07,430 --> 02:02:04,719
proximity to the potato optimal

1944
02:02:09,270 --> 02:02:07,440
conditions as a proof of concept i like

1945
02:02:11,270 --> 02:02:09,280
all these food forward projects combined

1946
02:02:13,510 --> 02:02:11,280
with rocketry so we're kind of going in

1947
02:02:16,470 --> 02:02:13,520
the right direction this motor is flying

1948
02:02:18,629 --> 02:02:16,480
on a cesseroni j380 the projected

1949
02:02:20,870 --> 02:02:18,639
altitude is 4 700 feet so you can see

1950
02:02:23,030 --> 02:02:20,880
that's the yellow rocket it's uh painted

1951
02:02:25,270 --> 02:02:23,040
to follow the their theme colors for

1952
02:02:27,350 --> 02:02:25,280
their their club name and this i like to

1953
02:02:30,070 --> 02:02:27,360
call it the biology project this rocket

1954
02:02:32,149 --> 02:02:30,080
should be going about 4 700 feet we

1955
02:02:34,870 --> 02:02:32,159
still have a clear sky we have a clear

1956
02:02:35,750 --> 02:02:34,880
range we're gonna launch this rocket in

1957
02:02:43,109 --> 02:02:35,760
five

1958
02:02:47,830 --> 02:02:44,830
hope they're not mashed

1959
02:02:55,430 --> 02:02:47,840
potatoes starting to arc over

1960
02:02:55,440 --> 02:03:03,030
okay we should have an event there it is

1961
02:03:08,229 --> 02:03:05,430
yeah not sure of the status of this

1962
02:03:10,470 --> 02:03:08,239
potato hopefully it's okay

1963
02:03:11,750 --> 02:03:10,480
i know it's testing and measuring all

1964
02:03:14,149 --> 02:03:11,760
the different

1965
02:03:16,709 --> 02:03:14,159
aspects of it the co2 concentration

1966
02:03:17,669 --> 02:03:16,719
temperature humidity and is doing it at

1967
02:03:19,589 --> 02:03:17,679
different

1968
02:03:21,750 --> 02:03:19,599
iterations at the altitude so it hits a

1969
02:03:23,189 --> 02:03:21,760
milestone it's it's looking for

1970
02:03:25,189 --> 02:03:23,199
information so pretty cool that the

1971
02:03:27,510 --> 02:03:25,199
school's trying this out

1972
02:03:31,990 --> 02:03:27,520
and this is one of our sli competing

1973
02:03:36,870 --> 02:03:34,709
so it still looks like it's

1974
02:03:41,750 --> 02:03:36,880
probably two over two thousand feet up

1975
02:03:46,790 --> 02:03:44,870
still coming in at a good descent race

1976
02:03:54,069 --> 02:03:46,800
yeah it's out it's out passed by the

1977
02:03:57,109 --> 02:03:55,750
so you see well if you look at it point

1978
02:03:59,109 --> 02:03:57,119
out and let your neighbors know but it's

1979
02:04:00,870 --> 02:03:59,119
over way out in the grass so we're good

1980
02:04:02,550 --> 02:04:00,880
we should have a main here pretty soon

1981
02:04:04,069 --> 02:04:02,560
there it is

1982
02:04:05,830 --> 02:04:04,079
all right

1983
02:04:13,030 --> 02:04:05,840
that potato's looking good maybe it's

1984
02:04:45,830 --> 02:04:14,790
i was told we should not joke about the

1985
02:04:49,910 --> 02:04:48,550
okay we're going to pad number 34 we

1986
02:04:52,310 --> 02:04:49,920
have

1987
02:04:54,709 --> 02:04:52,320
lipscomb rocketry this is lincoln

1988
02:04:57,030 --> 02:04:54,719
university from nashville tennessee on

1989
02:04:59,430 --> 02:04:57,040
pad number 34 so it's the blue and white

1990
02:05:01,750 --> 02:04:59,440
or blue rocket with the white nose cone

1991
02:05:04,229 --> 02:05:01,760
the name of this rocket is new gwen

1992
02:05:05,510 --> 02:05:04,239
weighs 21.5 pounds

1993
02:05:06,550 --> 02:05:05,520
looks like that says four inch in

1994
02:05:08,229 --> 02:05:06,560
diameter

1995
02:05:10,310 --> 02:05:08,239
seven feet tall

1996
02:05:12,709 --> 02:05:10,320
this does have a dead reckoning system

1997
02:05:15,990 --> 02:05:12,719
and takes acceleration and gyroscopic

1998
02:05:18,390 --> 02:05:16,000
data to calculate position of rocketry

1999
02:05:20,709 --> 02:05:18,400
upon landing the motor on this is an

2000
02:05:21,910 --> 02:05:20,719
aerotech k1275

2001
02:05:26,310 --> 02:05:21,920
red line so it's going to have a red

2002
02:05:29,030 --> 02:05:26,320
flame on it main is set for 600 feet

2003
02:05:31,350 --> 02:05:29,040
so this rocket does also have a 3d

2004
02:05:32,390 --> 02:05:31,360
printed nose cone and i one thing i did

2005
02:05:35,270 --> 02:05:32,400
find out

2006
02:05:37,750 --> 02:05:35,280
this nose cone shape is inspired by air

2007
02:05:40,629 --> 02:05:37,760
lines so it's not a normal

2008
02:05:42,310 --> 02:05:40,639
nose cone shape to it so pretty cool on

2009
02:05:44,629 --> 02:05:42,320
that one

2010
02:05:46,229 --> 02:05:44,639
and oh another fun fact about lipscomb

2011
02:05:52,470 --> 02:05:46,239
university

2012
02:05:55,750 --> 02:05:52,480
old so pretty cool on that as well

2013
02:05:58,550 --> 02:05:55,760
okay we're gonna fly this on pad 34. we

2014
02:06:02,390 --> 02:05:58,560
have a clear sky have a clear range

2015
02:06:03,189 --> 02:06:02,400
we're gonna launch in five four three

2016
02:06:08,550 --> 02:06:03,199
two

2017
02:06:12,390 --> 02:06:11,030
igniter who needs a new igniter on that

2018
02:06:13,990 --> 02:06:12,400
one

2019
02:06:16,790 --> 02:06:14,000
burnt the igniter

2020
02:06:18,790 --> 02:06:16,800
so we'll have to wait on that one

2021
02:06:31,910 --> 02:06:18,800
so now we're gonna go to the far back

2022
02:06:31,920 --> 02:06:52,550
is off

2023
02:07:00,870 --> 02:06:54,550
okay we just have to do a quick test to

2024
02:07:00,880 --> 02:07:39,830
as well

2025
02:07:39,840 --> 02:08:18,709
you

2026
02:08:23,270 --> 02:08:20,709
it was just a couple of technical

2027
02:08:25,830 --> 02:08:23,280
difficulties usually to get these things

2028
02:08:28,310 --> 02:08:25,840
to work you got to plug them in so

2029
02:08:33,510 --> 02:08:28,320
i i own that one forgot to

2030
02:08:38,149 --> 02:08:36,069
no we're going back to the 40s yeah

2031
02:08:40,950 --> 02:08:38,159
we're going to 40. yeah we're going to

2032
02:08:42,390 --> 02:08:40,960
be going back to the far back pads

2033
02:08:43,830 --> 02:08:42,400
we're going to go to

2034
02:08:45,910 --> 02:08:43,840
pad 40.

2035
02:08:49,030 --> 02:08:45,920
as you can see

2036
02:08:51,589 --> 02:08:49,040
yeah we're going to pad number 40.

2037
02:08:52,950 --> 02:08:51,599
the name of this group is a umass rocket

2038
02:08:55,189 --> 02:08:52,960
team this is the university of

2039
02:08:57,030 --> 02:08:55,199
massachusetts and amherst

2040
02:08:59,750 --> 02:08:57,040
the name of this rocket is argo we'll

2041
02:09:01,270 --> 02:08:59,760
come back to that name argo 24 pounds

2042
02:09:02,790 --> 02:09:01,280
four inch in diameter eight and a half

2043
02:09:05,510 --> 02:09:02,800
feet tall

2044
02:09:07,589 --> 02:09:05,520
this does have some sort of proprietary

2045
02:09:09,350 --> 02:09:07,599
thing called the athena it's an inertial

2046
02:09:12,550 --> 02:09:09,360
navigation system

2047
02:09:14,709 --> 02:09:12,560
utilizing two b o accelerometer

2048
02:09:17,750 --> 02:09:14,719
gyroscope packages

2049
02:09:20,149 --> 02:09:17,760
computers displacement management custom

2050
02:09:23,109 --> 02:09:20,159
pcb design with an exclamation point

2051
02:09:25,430 --> 02:09:23,119
they are proud for that that is awesome

2052
02:09:27,030 --> 02:09:25,440
one thing i found out about this group

2053
02:09:28,870 --> 02:09:27,040
the group painted that rocket right

2054
02:09:31,669 --> 02:09:28,880
before they headed here to alabama so it

2055
02:09:34,390 --> 02:09:31,679
was drying in transit trying to get here

2056
02:09:37,430 --> 02:09:34,400
that name this rocket is called argo it

2057
02:09:39,669 --> 02:09:37,440
is a take on jason and the argonauts but

2058
02:09:41,109 --> 02:09:39,679
this rocket has been built several times

2059
02:09:42,709 --> 02:09:41,119
so they really think the name of the

2060
02:09:43,910 --> 02:09:42,719
rocket should be called

2061
02:09:45,350 --> 02:09:43,920
ship of

2062
02:09:47,510 --> 02:09:45,360
the cnis

2063
02:09:49,030 --> 02:09:47,520
theseus i'm not quite sure that's a

2064
02:09:52,229 --> 02:09:49,040
reference to something i'm not quite

2065
02:09:53,510 --> 02:09:52,239
familiar with also there they have their

2066
02:09:55,990 --> 02:09:53,520
inspiration

2067
02:09:58,709 --> 02:09:56,000
on this project is making sure that they

2068
02:10:01,030 --> 02:09:58,719
have visor glasses and something around

2069
02:10:03,189 --> 02:10:01,040
team cyclone again not sure what these

2070
02:10:05,910 --> 02:10:03,199
references are this rocket should go

2071
02:10:09,109 --> 02:10:05,920
about 5 600 feet so we are going to go

2072
02:10:10,550 --> 02:10:09,119
to pad 40 so we have a clear sky we have

2073
02:10:12,470 --> 02:10:10,560
a clear range we're going to launch

2074
02:10:13,669 --> 02:10:12,480
umass rocket team

2075
02:10:15,270 --> 02:10:13,679
in 5

2076
02:10:16,069 --> 02:10:15,280
four three

2077
02:10:19,380 --> 02:10:16,079
two

2078
02:10:19,390 --> 02:10:23,669
[Applause]

2079
02:10:29,510 --> 02:10:26,550
so that was definitely a red line

2080
02:10:31,830 --> 02:10:29,520
possibly a k-1275 but it could be a

2081
02:10:33,990 --> 02:10:31,840
cesseroni it's a mystery motor at least

2082
02:10:38,229 --> 02:10:34,000
on my briefing sheet

2083
02:10:41,750 --> 02:10:38,239
the main is set for 600 feet

2084
02:10:41,760 --> 02:10:51,030
the paint's now probably dry

2085
02:10:55,510 --> 02:10:53,910
and that's pretty far out southbound so

2086
02:10:56,870 --> 02:10:55,520
again when that rocket took off because

2087
02:10:59,030 --> 02:10:56,880
of the headwind

2088
02:11:01,669 --> 02:10:59,040
and the rocket being overstable the

2089
02:11:03,910 --> 02:11:01,679
rocket actually turned into the wind and

2090
02:11:05,830 --> 02:11:03,920
then when it's coming in under parachute

2091
02:11:07,270 --> 02:11:05,840
the wind's kind of bringing it back

2092
02:11:09,910 --> 02:11:07,280
that's why these rockets have dual

2093
02:11:11,830 --> 02:11:09,920
deployment on it that small parachute

2094
02:11:14,149 --> 02:11:11,840
has it come down pretty quick and then

2095
02:11:16,149 --> 02:11:14,159
at a specified altitude based on how

2096
02:11:18,310 --> 02:11:16,159
they've programmed their flight computer

2097
02:11:19,750 --> 02:11:18,320
a bigger parachute comes out to make

2098
02:11:22,629 --> 02:11:19,760
sure it's a nice

2099
02:11:25,270 --> 02:11:22,639
soft safe landing for their payload

2100
02:11:27,430 --> 02:11:25,280
package

2101
02:11:33,189 --> 02:11:27,440
we're getting pretty close to that 600

2102
02:11:36,790 --> 02:11:35,830
probably just under a thousand feet

2103
02:11:38,950 --> 02:11:36,800
right here

2104
02:11:40,709 --> 02:11:38,960
okay we should be approaching

2105
02:11:43,109 --> 02:11:40,719
600 feet now

2106
02:11:45,669 --> 02:11:43,119
there it is

2107
02:11:47,270 --> 02:11:45,679
all right

2108
02:11:49,669 --> 02:11:47,280
i guess we can go back to calling it the

2109
02:12:08,069 --> 02:11:49,679
argo rocket that's looking pretty nice

2110
02:12:08,079 --> 02:12:11,189
okay

2111
02:12:16,149 --> 02:12:13,189
i like the nice golf clap pretty cool

2112
02:12:17,910 --> 02:12:16,159
okay we're going to pad 41 cat rocketry

2113
02:12:21,430 --> 02:12:17,920
the school is central washington

2114
02:12:24,310 --> 02:12:21,440
university out of ellingsburg washington

2115
02:12:25,990 --> 02:12:24,320
the name of this rocket is called newbie

2116
02:12:28,149 --> 02:12:26,000
so i found out the name on newbie this

2117
02:12:30,390 --> 02:12:28,159
is their first time here competing so

2118
02:12:32,229 --> 02:12:30,400
welcome team and glad you're here and

2119
02:12:34,629 --> 02:12:32,239
trying out this competition

2120
02:12:36,950 --> 02:12:34,639
this rocket does weigh 24 and three

2121
02:12:39,109 --> 02:12:36,960
quarters pounds just over five inch in

2122
02:12:42,270 --> 02:12:39,119
diameter and the length is eight and

2123
02:12:44,709 --> 02:12:42,280
three quarters feet it is flying on a

2124
02:12:45,750 --> 02:12:44,719
k1050 so it's a pretty healthy motor on

2125
02:12:47,750 --> 02:12:45,760
that

2126
02:12:49,589 --> 02:12:47,760
the experimentation this is again one of

2127
02:12:51,830 --> 02:12:49,599
those another proprietary systems this

2128
02:12:54,149 --> 02:12:51,840
one's called avatar they're saying we

2129
02:12:57,270 --> 02:12:54,159
are using a visual tracking

2130
02:12:59,910 --> 02:12:57,280
using color on top of our tent oh okay

2131
02:13:02,390 --> 02:12:59,920
this is cool in order to identify and

2132
02:13:03,510 --> 02:13:02,400
report the landing location

2133
02:13:05,750 --> 02:13:03,520
and with

2134
02:13:07,830 --> 02:13:05,760
central washington university it's

2135
02:13:09,030 --> 02:13:07,840
literally in the center of the state of

2136
02:13:11,830 --> 02:13:09,040
washington

2137
02:13:14,310 --> 02:13:11,840
they are known for a rodeo in this uh

2138
02:13:16,310 --> 02:13:14,320
central in ellensburg washington

2139
02:13:17,910 --> 02:13:16,320
another thing with this group they

2140
02:13:19,990 --> 02:13:17,920
literally built this rocket out of a

2141
02:13:21,189 --> 02:13:20,000
closet so pretty cool that they're just

2142
02:13:23,830 --> 02:13:21,199
trying to be efficient with their

2143
02:13:25,589 --> 02:13:23,840
resources and it is a pretty mighty team

2144
02:13:27,430 --> 02:13:25,599
of nine members so pretty cool they

2145
02:13:29,270 --> 02:13:27,440
built this cool yellow rocket with the

2146
02:13:31,310 --> 02:13:29,280
black stripes on it and this projected

2147
02:13:33,510 --> 02:13:31,320
altitude is

2148
02:13:35,750 --> 02:13:33,520
4158 feet so let's see if our eyes are

2149
02:13:38,709 --> 02:13:35,760
good enough to see if it's got 4158 for

2150
02:13:41,350 --> 02:13:38,719
altitude on pad 41 we have the clear

2151
02:13:42,390 --> 02:13:41,360
skies we have a clear range we're gonna

2152
02:13:45,109 --> 02:13:42,400
launch

2153
02:13:46,790 --> 02:13:45,119
newbie in five four

2154
02:13:49,189 --> 02:13:46,800
three two

2155
02:13:53,589 --> 02:13:49,199
one ignition

2156
02:14:00,790 --> 02:13:55,669
man that's straight up okay do we think

2157
02:14:07,750 --> 02:14:04,229
my assist tells me 41.52

2158
02:14:10,709 --> 02:14:07,760
starting arc over there's an event

2159
02:14:13,750 --> 02:14:10,719
i see the smoke blowing over

2160
02:14:15,510 --> 02:14:13,760
there's a parachute

2161
02:14:18,550 --> 02:14:15,520
that bright yellow or bright orange

2162
02:14:20,709 --> 02:14:18,560
shoot so we can see it

2163
02:14:23,030 --> 02:14:20,719
it's got a really long shot cord on that

2164
02:14:26,950 --> 02:14:23,040
from what i can see which is good that's

2165
02:14:31,910 --> 02:14:29,270
that's either a really big drogue or the

2166
02:14:35,030 --> 02:14:31,920
main could be out a little on the early

2167
02:14:35,040 --> 02:14:39,430
just a big drogue

2168
02:14:45,030 --> 02:14:41,990
36-inch drogue and this main parachute

2169
02:14:46,870 --> 02:14:45,040
is set for 550 feet

2170
02:14:49,510 --> 02:14:46,880
that's the only way this avatar system

2171
02:14:51,030 --> 02:14:49,520
can work the most efficiently

2172
02:14:53,189 --> 02:14:51,040
i don't know if that's true or not but

2173
02:14:55,430 --> 02:14:53,199
it sounds good

2174
02:14:57,430 --> 02:14:55,440
okay heads up on the

2175
02:14:58,790 --> 02:14:57,440
right side of the range so it looks like

2176
02:15:00,470 --> 02:14:58,800
it's going to be out in the

2177
02:15:04,870 --> 02:15:00,480
out in the grass or out in the wheat

2178
02:15:10,229 --> 02:15:08,229
oh the parachutes

2179
02:15:12,310 --> 02:15:10,239
about it

2180
02:15:13,830 --> 02:15:12,320
uh that's gonna be out in the wheat it's

2181
02:15:15,830 --> 02:15:13,840
not

2182
02:15:18,390 --> 02:15:15,840
oh it's trying it's

2183
02:15:22,069 --> 02:15:18,400
very suspenseful like a hollywood film

2184
02:15:48,629 --> 02:15:24,790
but wildcat rocketry is okay with that

2185
02:15:52,550 --> 02:15:50,390
so we're still on the back row we still

2186
02:15:55,189 --> 02:15:52,560
got rockets to fly

2187
02:15:57,589 --> 02:15:55,199
so we're on pad number 42

2188
02:15:59,750 --> 02:15:57,599
this is cedarville student launch

2189
02:16:02,310 --> 02:15:59,760
they're at cedar oh they're already

2190
02:16:04,390 --> 02:16:02,320
pumped they haven't taken off yet

2191
02:16:06,149 --> 02:16:04,400
all right let's go okay

2192
02:16:08,950 --> 02:16:06,159
this is cedarville university out of

2193
02:16:12,310 --> 02:16:08,960
cedarville ohio the name of this rocket

2194
02:16:13,910 --> 02:16:12,320
is 4runner weighs 42.3 pounds five and a

2195
02:16:15,750 --> 02:16:13,920
half inch diameter

2196
02:16:17,910 --> 02:16:15,760
it's nine feet long

2197
02:16:18,950 --> 02:16:17,920
does have a single bay on it and is dual

2198
02:16:22,149 --> 02:16:18,960
deploy

2199
02:16:25,430 --> 02:16:22,159
this m this rocket's flying on an l

2200
02:16:27,990 --> 02:16:25,440
motor this is flying on an l 1390 green

2201
02:16:30,229 --> 02:16:28,000
motors will have a green flame on it

2202
02:16:32,389 --> 02:16:30,239
the main is set for 800 feet for the

2203
02:16:34,549 --> 02:16:32,399
experiments of this project

2204
02:16:37,750 --> 02:16:34,559
does have another proprietary system

2205
02:16:40,870 --> 02:16:37,760
called the gamma filtering system gfs it

2206
02:16:43,110 --> 02:16:40,880
observes the rocket position using imus

2207
02:16:44,709 --> 02:16:43,120
and integrates to find position

2208
02:16:47,830 --> 02:16:44,719
using

2209
02:16:49,589 --> 02:16:47,840
some sort of coordination system

2210
02:16:51,429 --> 02:16:49,599
so cedarville did want to thank their

2211
02:16:53,750 --> 02:16:51,439
family and friends for helping them on

2212
02:16:56,870 --> 02:16:53,760
this project and this is a team that was

2213
02:16:59,270 --> 02:16:56,880
of 11 and 12 team members and again this

2214
02:17:02,469 --> 02:16:59,280
is their first time out so welcome

2215
02:17:04,790 --> 02:17:02,479
cedarville university glad you're here

2216
02:17:06,709 --> 02:17:04,800
and this is their second full-scale

2217
02:17:09,110 --> 02:17:06,719
rocket don't ask about what happened to

2218
02:17:10,790 --> 02:17:09,120
their first one maybe later

2219
02:17:12,469 --> 02:17:10,800
this altitude should be going about

2220
02:17:14,870 --> 02:17:12,479
forty four thousand seven hundred and

2221
02:17:17,830 --> 02:17:14,880
fifty feet so we are ready to go on pad

2222
02:17:20,309 --> 02:17:17,840
42. we have a clear sky we have a clear

2223
02:17:21,990 --> 02:17:20,319
range we're gonna launch in five

2224
02:17:22,870 --> 02:17:22,000
four three

2225
02:17:29,270 --> 02:17:22,880
two

2226
02:17:29,280 --> 02:17:38,070
so that was an l motor l green motor

2227
02:17:42,629 --> 02:17:40,629
starting to arc over so maybe that's

2228
02:17:44,870 --> 02:17:42,639
probably all of forty seven hundred feet

2229
02:17:52,549 --> 02:17:44,880
might be higher there's an event be

2230
02:17:57,270 --> 02:17:55,110
there's the drogue out still see so some

2231
02:17:59,270 --> 02:17:57,280
of that smoke you're seeing that's the

2232
02:18:01,349 --> 02:17:59,280
tracking smoke from the motor so there's

2233
02:18:02,870 --> 02:18:01,359
a tracking element put inside the motor

2234
02:18:05,190 --> 02:18:02,880
so it's easy to

2235
02:18:09,030 --> 02:18:05,200
visually spot coming in

2236
02:18:12,870 --> 02:18:09,040
which aids in the recovery part of it

2237
02:18:14,230 --> 02:18:12,880
so the main is set for 800 feet

2238
02:18:15,270 --> 02:18:14,240
i think the team's kind of biting their

2239
02:18:16,870 --> 02:18:15,280
nails a little bit there should be a

2240
02:18:20,070 --> 02:18:16,880
little bit more confidence over there i

2241
02:18:25,990 --> 02:18:22,309
so we're probably passing around 2000

2242
02:18:29,990 --> 02:18:28,070
still out in the wheat

2243
02:18:32,950 --> 02:18:30,000
we should be about a thousand feet right

2244
02:18:34,549 --> 02:18:32,960
now so we should be approaching 800 feet

2245
02:18:37,429 --> 02:18:34,559
oh i saw the event i didn't see a

2246
02:18:40,629 --> 02:18:37,439
parachute come out back up supposed to

2247
02:18:44,309 --> 02:18:40,639
oh this one's gonna come in

2248
02:18:46,469 --> 02:18:44,319
i hope the wheat can brace it oh

2249
02:18:49,990 --> 02:18:46,479
we saw the event but didn't see the nose

2250
02:18:51,990 --> 02:18:50,000
cone separate from the payload tube

2251
02:18:53,830 --> 02:18:52,000
a little bit of more of a somber clap on

2252
02:19:02,150 --> 02:18:53,840
that one we'll have to do an analysis

2253
02:19:05,349 --> 02:19:04,150
all right we're continuing on so we're

2254
02:19:07,669 --> 02:19:05,359
going to

2255
02:19:10,549 --> 02:19:07,679
pad number 43

2256
02:19:16,070 --> 02:19:13,990
jmu rocketry james madison university oh

2257
02:19:18,709 --> 02:19:16,080
they're pretty excited out of harris

2258
02:19:21,830 --> 02:19:18,719
harrisonburg virginia the name of this

2259
02:19:24,070 --> 02:19:21,840
rocket is zeus one

2260
02:19:26,469 --> 02:19:24,080
this is a this is a hefty rocket this

2261
02:19:28,469 --> 02:19:26,479
one weighs 53 pounds

2262
02:19:30,629 --> 02:19:28,479
six inch in diameter

2263
02:19:32,709 --> 02:19:30,639
it was originally nine feet 11 inches

2264
02:19:35,589 --> 02:19:32,719
tall and somehow has grown now to 10

2265
02:19:37,429 --> 02:19:35,599
feet tall don't know what happened there

2266
02:19:41,110 --> 02:19:37,439
oh it's a teenager i've been told okay

2267
02:19:43,589 --> 02:19:41,120
this is flying on an aerotech l1420 red

2268
02:19:46,709 --> 02:19:43,599
line so another l motor

2269
02:19:48,790 --> 02:19:46,719
does have the main set for 700 feet with

2270
02:19:51,830 --> 02:19:48,800
this project it does have a dead

2271
02:19:54,630 --> 02:19:51,840
reckoning system on it and two imus with

2272
02:19:57,270 --> 02:19:54,640
an arduino to go with

2273
02:19:58,710 --> 02:19:57,280
this altitude should be going about 4

2274
02:20:00,790 --> 02:19:58,720
000 feet

2275
02:20:03,270 --> 02:20:00,800
and it does have a camera on board so

2276
02:20:05,270 --> 02:20:03,280
make sure you show that nice smiling

2277
02:20:07,510 --> 02:20:05,280
face for everyone in the crowd so we're

2278
02:20:09,750 --> 02:20:07,520
going to go to pad 43

2279
02:20:13,349 --> 02:20:09,760
we have a clear sky we have a clear

2280
02:20:14,150 --> 02:20:13,359
range we're going to launch zeus 1 in 5

2281
02:20:14,950 --> 02:20:14,160
4

2282
02:20:26,950 --> 02:20:14,960
3

2283
02:20:33,670 --> 02:20:28,790
we pushed pretty hard

2284
02:20:45,190 --> 02:20:35,270
so i have to put a new igniter in that

2285
02:20:53,349 --> 02:20:47,590
okay on pad number 44

2286
02:20:55,270 --> 02:20:53,359
we have purdue university psp dash ll

2287
02:20:56,830 --> 02:20:55,280
this school's purdue university out of

2288
02:21:00,469 --> 02:20:56,840
west lafayette

2289
02:21:01,590 --> 02:21:00,479
indiana is the saying boiler down boiler

2290
02:21:03,990 --> 02:21:01,600
broiler

2291
02:21:06,870 --> 02:21:04,000
oh okay i'm just

2292
02:21:07,910 --> 02:21:06,880
i'm getting some scour looks right now i

2293
02:21:10,830 --> 02:21:07,920
know it's

2294
02:21:13,830 --> 02:21:10,840
boiler up so the name of this rocket is

2295
02:21:16,710 --> 02:21:13,840
green grass all

2296
02:21:19,230 --> 02:21:16,720
green gas all breaks

2297
02:21:22,950 --> 02:21:19,240
need some better penmanship so this is

2298
02:21:25,429 --> 02:21:22,960
53.4 pounds this is six inch in diameter

2299
02:21:28,190 --> 02:21:25,439
106 inches tall so another 50 pound

2300
02:21:30,630 --> 02:21:28,200
rocket this one's flying on a

2301
02:21:32,230 --> 02:21:30,640
l2200 which i believe is an aerotech

2302
02:21:34,070 --> 02:21:32,240
green so this is going to be a pretty

2303
02:21:35,830 --> 02:21:34,080
punchy takeoff

2304
02:21:38,950 --> 02:21:35,840
the experimentation on board with this

2305
02:21:41,510 --> 02:21:38,960
one it does say separating oriented

2306
02:21:43,349 --> 02:21:41,520
orienting and extending

2307
02:21:46,150 --> 02:21:43,359
a try

2308
02:21:48,070 --> 02:21:46,160
lateration radio range finding

2309
02:21:49,270 --> 02:21:48,080
experiment that is a mouthful but

2310
02:21:51,510 --> 02:21:49,280
there's a lot going on that's pretty

2311
02:21:54,469 --> 02:21:51,520
cool to have that project

2312
02:21:57,030 --> 02:21:54,479
the main is set for 800 feet so a couple

2313
02:22:00,309 --> 02:21:57,040
things about purdue university's team

2314
02:22:02,550 --> 02:22:00,319
the overall psp team has over 400

2315
02:22:04,550 --> 02:22:02,560
members a part of this group

2316
02:22:06,230 --> 02:22:04,560
and there's seven different teams within

2317
02:22:07,510 --> 02:22:06,240
this group as a part of the club on

2318
02:22:10,070 --> 02:22:07,520
campus

2319
02:22:11,830 --> 02:22:10,080
i also noticed they have a really large

2320
02:22:13,429 --> 02:22:11,840
ground control station i think it's

2321
02:22:15,030 --> 02:22:13,439
bigger than some panel boxes at some

2322
02:22:17,429 --> 02:22:15,040
houses that i've seen

2323
02:22:19,510 --> 02:22:17,439
on this team alone they have 60 to 80

2324
02:22:21,590 --> 02:22:19,520
members on this team

2325
02:22:22,630 --> 02:22:21,600
they did say on this rocket the lower

2326
02:22:24,950 --> 02:22:22,640
airframe

2327
02:22:26,630 --> 02:22:24,960
did have to be rebuilt and reflown on

2328
02:22:28,230 --> 02:22:26,640
one of the last flights

2329
02:22:30,150 --> 02:22:28,240
the motor did some extra burning in

2330
02:22:32,469 --> 02:22:30,160
places they didn't like so they had to

2331
02:22:34,630 --> 02:22:32,479
rebuild the bottom half of it

2332
02:22:37,670 --> 02:22:34,640
the projected altitude

2333
02:22:39,830 --> 02:22:37,680
is somewhere between 4 600 and 5 400

2334
02:22:42,150 --> 02:22:39,840
feet so the air braking system will find

2335
02:22:45,910 --> 02:22:42,160
out if it's going to work so we'll see 4

2336
02:22:50,230 --> 02:22:47,990
okay i've been notified of a plane

2337
02:22:53,270 --> 02:22:50,240
inbound and yes thank you for that so

2338
02:22:55,030 --> 02:22:53,280
right now we hold all launch operations

2339
02:22:57,429 --> 02:22:55,040
we don't want to spook our pilots so we

2340
02:22:59,190 --> 02:22:57,439
want them of earth flying just

2341
02:23:01,510 --> 02:22:59,200
fly where they have to fly

2342
02:23:03,349 --> 02:23:01,520
and then we can resume flying even

2343
02:23:05,270 --> 02:23:03,359
though they're flying probably outside

2344
02:23:07,750 --> 02:23:05,280
of where our operations are if we can

2345
02:23:09,910 --> 02:23:07,760
visually see them they could probably

2346
02:23:12,230 --> 02:23:09,920
see us we don't want them to see our

2347
02:23:13,590 --> 02:23:12,240
rocket so we're going to make sure

2348
02:23:16,710 --> 02:23:13,600
it is clear

2349
02:23:18,870 --> 02:23:16,720
it's outbound it's safe so no thank you

2350
02:23:20,469 --> 02:23:18,880
so if anyone sees a plane i see some

2351
02:23:23,349 --> 02:23:20,479
waving it off i don't know if they can

2352
02:23:25,190 --> 02:23:23,359
see that but uh i like the effort we're

2353
02:23:41,510 --> 02:23:25,200
trying to guide that plane out of our

2354
02:23:45,030 --> 02:23:43,910
okay plane is outbound so we're gonna go

2355
02:23:49,110 --> 02:23:45,040
and fly

2356
02:23:51,270 --> 02:23:49,120
the psp-sl rocket on pad 44.

2357
02:23:53,190 --> 02:23:51,280
we have a clear sky that plane's out

2358
02:23:56,710 --> 02:23:53,200
clear range no one's nearby we're gonna

2359
02:24:00,550 --> 02:23:56,720
launch this one in five four three

2360
02:24:01,670 --> 02:24:00,560
two one ignition

2361
02:24:03,830 --> 02:24:01,680
come on

2362
02:24:07,349 --> 02:24:03,840
birthday igniter hello

2363
02:24:11,750 --> 02:24:09,670
burnt the igniter on that one

2364
02:24:39,190 --> 02:24:11,760
those green ones can be a little tricky

2365
02:24:42,389 --> 02:24:41,670
it's really low in altitude

2366
02:24:50,389 --> 02:24:42,399
it's

2367
02:24:54,070 --> 02:24:52,309
i'll start reading the card but i don't

2368
02:24:56,630 --> 02:24:54,080
see it

2369
02:24:59,030 --> 02:24:56,640
okay we're gonna continue on on pad

2370
02:25:01,190 --> 02:24:59,040
number 45 so it's the black rocket with

2371
02:25:02,790 --> 02:25:01,200
the blue nose cones the one in the

2372
02:25:04,790 --> 02:25:02,800
center of the

2373
02:25:06,870 --> 02:25:04,800
well i guess left of center

2374
02:25:08,389 --> 02:25:06,880
the name of this rocket is called our

2375
02:25:12,870 --> 02:25:08,399
team name is called

2376
02:25:16,550 --> 02:25:12,880
charger rocket works this is the

2377
02:25:18,469 --> 02:25:16,560
all right i love the excitement this is

2378
02:25:20,070 --> 02:25:18,479
alabama huntsville out of huntsville

2379
02:25:22,710 --> 02:25:20,080
alabama they probably travel really far

2380
02:25:24,550 --> 02:25:22,720
to get here the name of this rocket is

2381
02:25:27,910 --> 02:25:24,560
cloud killer

2382
02:25:30,230 --> 02:25:27,920
27 pound rocket weighs or 27 pounds it's

2383
02:25:33,030 --> 02:25:30,240
four and a half inch diameter

2384
02:25:35,190 --> 02:25:33,040
just over seven and a quarter feet long

2385
02:25:37,349 --> 02:25:35,200
the apogee is set for them it's supposed

2386
02:25:40,950 --> 02:25:37,359
to go 4 600 feet

2387
02:25:44,790 --> 02:25:40,960
this does have an ins with an imu and

2388
02:25:50,230 --> 02:25:48,309
i'm not sure it's a static system

2389
02:25:52,389 --> 02:25:50,240
we'll figure that one out it does have a

2390
02:25:54,550 --> 02:25:52,399
strata logger on board and i found out

2391
02:25:56,389 --> 02:25:54,560
with this rocket in particular it's got

2392
02:25:57,910 --> 02:25:56,399
a really cool i'll say rocker themed

2393
02:25:59,830 --> 02:25:57,920
paint job to it

2394
02:26:01,670 --> 02:25:59,840
and i think the rockets just excessively

2395
02:26:03,110 --> 02:26:01,680
driven around across the country because

2396
02:26:04,870 --> 02:26:03,120
when they wanted to fly it they had they

2397
02:26:06,710 --> 02:26:04,880
were missing some parts so it's got a

2398
02:26:09,670 --> 02:26:06,720
lot of road miles on it needs a little

2399
02:26:11,270 --> 02:26:09,680
bit more air miles got it backwards okay

2400
02:26:12,950 --> 02:26:11,280
so we're going to try to fly this rocket

2401
02:26:16,550 --> 02:26:12,960
i don't see that airplane so we have a

2402
02:26:17,990 --> 02:26:16,560
clear sky on pad 45 clear range we're

2403
02:26:21,830 --> 02:26:18,000
gonna launch the cloud killer there's no

2404
02:26:22,630 --> 02:26:21,840
clouds in the sky in five four three

2405
02:26:26,790 --> 02:26:22,640
two

2406
02:26:26,800 --> 02:26:30,950
on the aerotech k-1000

2407
02:26:38,469 --> 02:26:32,870
we burned another igniter well no we

2408
02:26:42,469 --> 02:26:40,630
we were having continuity

2409
02:26:48,950 --> 02:26:42,479
and we pushed the button and we lose

2410
02:26:53,190 --> 02:26:51,030
so the first few work so i just think we

2411
02:26:57,070 --> 02:26:53,200
need a little bit more another igniter

2412
02:26:57,080 --> 02:27:14,070
to go

2413
02:27:14,080 --> 02:27:19,590
we're going to the

2414
02:27:24,870 --> 02:27:21,510
okay continuing on we're going to hope

2415
02:27:29,270 --> 02:27:24,880
this igniter is good so this is pad 60

2416
02:27:31,750 --> 02:27:29,280
this is uncc 49er rocketry team

2417
02:27:33,830 --> 02:27:31,760
and this is the school unc charlotte out

2418
02:27:36,230 --> 02:27:33,840
of charlotte north carolina

2419
02:27:39,510 --> 02:27:36,240
the name of this rocket is draco

2420
02:27:41,190 --> 02:27:39,520
42 pounds five inch in diameter just

2421
02:27:42,870 --> 02:27:41,200
over eight feet tall

2422
02:27:45,670 --> 02:27:42,880
the fun fact in this one its thrust to

2423
02:27:47,349 --> 02:27:45,680
weight ratio is 7.4 so that's going to

2424
02:27:50,030 --> 02:27:47,359
have a pretty good takeoff

2425
02:27:52,070 --> 02:27:50,040
this one is also flying on an l

2426
02:27:54,630 --> 02:27:52,080
1390 green

2427
02:27:56,950 --> 02:27:54,640
main is set for 600 feet

2428
02:27:59,110 --> 02:27:56,960
this one has the anvil system i don't

2429
02:28:01,990 --> 02:27:59,120
know what that is but the anvil is a

2430
02:28:03,910 --> 02:28:02,000
gimbaled camera that is used to capture

2431
02:28:06,550 --> 02:28:03,920
images throughout descent

2432
02:28:09,030 --> 02:28:06,560
and image processing is used to find

2433
02:28:11,510 --> 02:28:09,040
landing location

2434
02:28:13,830 --> 02:28:11,520
i do know what the name of this rocket

2435
02:28:16,070 --> 02:28:13,840
they called it draco it's based on the

2436
02:28:18,150 --> 02:28:16,080
dragon constellation

2437
02:28:20,710 --> 02:28:18,160
i think it's pretty pretty neat and it

2438
02:28:22,389 --> 02:28:20,720
does have a you see a spiral up up the

2439
02:28:24,870 --> 02:28:22,399
paint job that's actually a dragon

2440
02:28:27,429 --> 02:28:24,880
painted on the side of it

2441
02:28:30,230 --> 02:28:27,439
it does use a camera-based approach and

2442
02:28:33,030 --> 02:28:30,240
computer vision system where the camera

2443
02:28:35,030 --> 02:28:33,040
does retract in and out of the airframe

2444
02:28:37,030 --> 02:28:35,040
tube under recovery

2445
02:28:40,790 --> 02:28:37,040
it has a lot of 3d printed parts 3d

2446
02:28:44,389 --> 02:28:40,800
printed nose cone boat tail in 3d

2447
02:28:47,190 --> 02:28:44,399
printed internal fins that are removable

2448
02:28:49,510 --> 02:28:47,200
i also thought was really cool with uncc

2449
02:28:52,630 --> 02:28:49,520
their mentor actually competed in this

2450
02:28:54,950 --> 02:28:52,640
usli competition back in 2013 so welcome

2451
02:28:58,070 --> 02:28:54,960
back thanks for helping this team out

2452
02:29:00,150 --> 02:28:58,080
this rocket oh there yeah thank you

2453
02:29:01,670 --> 02:29:00,160
and this rocket should go about 5 000

2454
02:29:04,230 --> 02:29:01,680
feet so we're hoping this igniter is

2455
02:29:06,469 --> 02:29:04,240
good on pad 60 on the l motor we're

2456
02:29:08,070 --> 02:29:06,479
going to fly it we have a clear sky we

2457
02:29:11,830 --> 02:29:08,080
have a clear range we are going to

2458
02:29:19,590 --> 02:29:11,840
launch draco in five four three

2459
02:29:26,230 --> 02:29:22,309
so the this is also now showing it's it

2460
02:29:32,070 --> 02:29:27,990
it's another green motor those can be

2461
02:29:35,670 --> 02:29:34,150
we only have one more rocket to try so

2462
02:29:48,630 --> 02:29:35,680
let's see if this one gives us some good

2463
02:29:52,790 --> 02:29:51,030
okay we're going to try out pad 62.

2464
02:29:53,830 --> 02:29:52,800
farthest to the right on the far back

2465
02:29:55,990 --> 02:29:53,840
pads

2466
02:29:58,150 --> 02:29:56,000
this team name is swamp launch or

2467
02:29:59,670 --> 02:29:58,160
university of florida in gainesville

2468
02:30:02,429 --> 02:29:59,680
florida

2469
02:30:05,750 --> 02:30:02,439
the rocket name is alberta weighs

2470
02:30:07,910 --> 02:30:05,760
24.24 pounds four inches in diameter

2471
02:30:10,790 --> 02:30:07,920
nine and a quarter feet long

2472
02:30:13,190 --> 02:30:10,800
it's a fiberglass airframe all the test

2473
02:30:15,349 --> 02:30:13,200
flights were successful on its first

2474
02:30:18,389 --> 02:30:15,359
attempts

2475
02:30:20,550 --> 02:30:18,399
this is flying on an aerotech l 1090

2476
02:30:22,710 --> 02:30:20,560
white does have electronics on board the

2477
02:30:24,550 --> 02:30:22,720
main set for 600 feet with a backup at

2478
02:30:26,630 --> 02:30:24,560
550.

2479
02:30:27,510 --> 02:30:26,640
the title this science experiment is

2480
02:30:31,590 --> 02:30:27,520
called

2481
02:30:34,550 --> 02:30:31,600
landmark watney it has two cameras aft

2482
02:30:37,030 --> 02:30:34,560
taking photos on ascent to determine its

2483
02:30:38,950 --> 02:30:37,040
initial point on map and then the imu

2484
02:30:42,389 --> 02:30:38,960
data is used to track

2485
02:30:44,550 --> 02:30:42,399
displacement of final landing location

2486
02:30:47,990 --> 02:30:44,560
that is really cool

2487
02:30:50,309 --> 02:30:48,000
i also know with this group i was

2488
02:30:52,150 --> 02:30:50,319
calling it the gator locator but they

2489
02:30:54,230 --> 02:30:52,160
said don't have any reference to the

2490
02:30:56,230 --> 02:30:54,240
seminoles i don't know what that means

2491
02:30:59,349 --> 02:30:56,240
but they said focus on the gators i said

2492
02:31:01,270 --> 02:30:59,359
i can do that so on pad 62

2493
02:31:03,830 --> 02:31:01,280
we are gonna launch alberta we have a

2494
02:31:06,469 --> 02:31:03,840
clear sky clear range hope this igniter

2495
02:31:08,150 --> 02:31:06,479
is good we're gonna launch in five

2496
02:31:08,950 --> 02:31:08,160
four three

2497
02:31:15,830 --> 02:31:08,960
two

2498
02:31:15,840 --> 02:31:28,870
a bunch of bad igniters out there

2499
02:31:31,670 --> 02:31:29,670
yep

2500
02:31:33,590 --> 02:31:31,680
starting to arc over i'd say that's 5000

2501
02:31:44,710 --> 02:31:33,600
feet there's an event see that orange

2502
02:31:44,720 --> 02:32:02,550
so that rocket does have the drogue out

2503
02:32:02,560 --> 02:32:10,790
so we're still

2504
02:32:14,950 --> 02:32:12,550
we're still a couple thousand feet up

2505
02:32:19,349 --> 02:32:14,960
right now under its drogue

2506
02:32:23,990 --> 02:32:22,070
so hopefully the camera is looking down

2507
02:32:25,990 --> 02:32:24,000
helped it for its initial launch

2508
02:32:28,309 --> 02:32:26,000
location and then the imus are supposed

2509
02:32:30,870 --> 02:32:28,319
to go to work to determine its final

2510
02:32:32,790 --> 02:32:30,880
landing location we're below a thousand

2511
02:32:35,429 --> 02:32:32,800
feet should be the mains coming out at

2512
02:32:37,910 --> 02:32:35,439
600 feet which should be

2513
02:32:38,950 --> 02:32:37,920
pretty close probably about now would be

2514
02:32:40,469 --> 02:32:38,960
good

2515
02:32:44,070 --> 02:32:40,479
there's an event

2516
02:32:50,710 --> 02:32:48,150
alberta team is happy that's good

2517
02:32:53,590 --> 02:32:50,720
now the cameras are pointing back down

2518
02:32:56,710 --> 02:32:53,600
and the imus are doing its job hopefully

2519
02:32:59,110 --> 02:32:56,720
and it's going to tell us where it's at

2520
02:33:03,270 --> 02:32:59,120
way out in the wheat

2521
02:33:29,750 --> 02:33:05,030
i see them even cheering they even

2522
02:33:33,990 --> 02:33:31,990
okay so the range is open for putting

2523
02:33:44,710 --> 02:33:34,000
new igniters for these rockets that are

2524
02:33:49,750 --> 02:33:47,030
team lead for alabama huntsville to the

2525
02:33:51,510 --> 02:33:49,760
lco desk or table or tent

2526
02:33:56,070 --> 02:33:51,520
team lead for

2527
02:33:56,080 --> 02:35:58,790
to the lco desk

2528
02:36:03,670 --> 02:36:02,309
so announcement for the student launch

2529
02:36:07,110 --> 02:36:03,680
mentors

2530
02:36:08,389 --> 02:36:07,120
if you're looking for a stipend check

2531
02:36:10,150 --> 02:36:08,399
you're going to want to go to the

2532
02:36:11,750 --> 02:36:10,160
student launch

2533
02:36:13,190 --> 02:36:11,760
tent

2534
02:36:14,790 --> 02:36:13,200
so as you're trying to walk up to the

2535
02:36:16,710 --> 02:36:14,800
lco you're going to catch the student

2536
02:36:19,670 --> 02:36:16,720
launch tent and that's where you will go

2537
02:36:21,510 --> 02:36:19,680
to pick up your stipend checks so just a

2538
02:36:23,590 --> 02:36:21,520
quick announcement on that

2539
02:36:26,389 --> 02:36:23,600
also maybe a pro tip as you've seen some

2540
02:36:28,790 --> 02:36:26,399
of these rockets didn't go

2541
02:36:30,469 --> 02:36:28,800
dual igniters could be your friend

2542
02:36:31,670 --> 02:36:30,479
just be careful don't put too big of

2543
02:36:32,790 --> 02:36:31,680
igniters but you want to make sure

2544
02:36:34,870 --> 02:36:32,800
you've got an igniter in there that's

2545
02:36:36,710 --> 02:36:34,880
going to launch the rocket

2546
02:37:01,670 --> 02:36:36,720
and we'll be resuming some flying here

2547
02:37:01,680 --> 02:37:39,510
2021 and 2020

2548
02:37:39,520 --> 02:37:43,380
so

2549
02:38:34,950 --> 02:37:49,980
[Music]

2550
02:38:49,000 --> 02:38:37,550
so

2551
02:40:55,110 --> 02:38:57,780
[Music]

2552
02:40:55,120 --> 02:41:03,450
do

2553
02:43:50,309 --> 02:41:40,550
[Music]

2554
02:43:50,319 --> 02:43:57,670
this is lipscomb university

2555
02:44:00,550 --> 02:43:59,110
okay yep and this group is out of

2556
02:44:03,349 --> 02:44:00,560
nashville tennessee the name of this

2557
02:44:05,110 --> 02:44:03,359
rocket is new gwin

2558
02:44:06,790 --> 02:44:05,120
21 and a half pounds four inch in

2559
02:44:08,870 --> 02:44:06,800
diameter seven feet tall this has the

2560
02:44:10,710 --> 02:44:08,880
dead reckoning system that takes

2561
02:44:13,269 --> 02:44:10,720
acceleration and gyroscopic data to

2562
02:44:16,550 --> 02:44:13,279
calculate positioning of rocket upon

2563
02:44:19,990 --> 02:44:16,560
landing this has the aerotech k1275 the

2564
02:44:21,590 --> 02:44:20,000
main is set for 600 feet

2565
02:44:26,870 --> 02:44:21,600
the one last thing i just wanted to

2566
02:44:31,349 --> 02:44:29,110
so we're not sure how high exactly this

2567
02:44:33,590 --> 02:44:31,359
one will go but does have the 3d printed

2568
02:44:35,910 --> 02:44:33,600
nose cone that's got to take on

2569
02:44:38,710 --> 02:44:35,920
on a commercial airliner shape

2570
02:44:40,790 --> 02:44:38,720
pad 34. we have a clear sky we have a

2571
02:44:42,469 --> 02:44:40,800
clear range we're going to launch new

2572
02:44:43,990 --> 02:44:42,479
gwen in 5

2573
02:44:44,870 --> 02:44:44,000
4 3

2574
02:44:51,830 --> 02:44:44,880
2

2575
02:44:56,550 --> 02:44:53,670
well if you're starting to doze off i

2576
02:44:59,110 --> 02:44:56,560
think that motor might have woke you up

2577
02:45:04,630 --> 02:44:59,120
starting to arc over probably

2578
02:45:11,030 --> 02:45:07,510
we want a parachute probably pretty soon

2579
02:45:16,710 --> 02:45:14,389
okay there is something out

2580
02:45:22,710 --> 02:45:16,720
must be a very small drogue

2581
02:45:28,309 --> 02:45:26,840
that's a really small drogue

2582
02:45:30,070 --> 02:45:28,319
[Music]

2583
02:45:42,790 --> 02:45:30,080
i had it and then i think the refl i

2584
02:45:47,429 --> 02:45:45,670
oh i see it yep so i do see it it's got

2585
02:45:49,269 --> 02:45:47,439
a small drogue on it

2586
02:45:55,190 --> 02:45:49,279
it's pretty much straight out in front

2587
02:45:58,870 --> 02:45:56,950
so normally the rockets were more

2588
02:46:01,990 --> 02:45:58,880
towards the west side this one is more

2589
02:46:04,710 --> 02:46:02,000
just straight south of us

2590
02:46:08,790 --> 02:46:04,720
maine is set for 600 feet

2591
02:46:14,469 --> 02:46:08,800
we're below a thousand feet right now

2592
02:46:19,750 --> 02:46:17,429
there's it's uh so group on this one you

2593
02:46:23,030 --> 02:46:19,760
can see the wind is blowing this right

2594
02:46:24,070 --> 02:46:23,040
back to us at the lco desk

2595
02:46:26,150 --> 02:46:24,080
so we're just going to make sure this

2596
02:46:28,150 --> 02:46:26,160
one is nice down and safe

2597
02:46:29,830 --> 02:46:28,160
unless it's trying to be closest to the

2598
02:46:33,830 --> 02:46:29,840
pad maybe that's what it looks like it's

2599
02:46:39,590 --> 02:46:36,309
maybe when it says where did it land

2600
02:46:46,870 --> 02:46:39,600
maybe where it took off

2601
02:46:49,910 --> 02:46:48,870
it's a very nice slow descent on this

2602
02:46:52,950 --> 02:46:49,920
one

2603
02:46:57,269 --> 02:46:52,960
you can see that winds now has blown it

2604
02:46:57,279 --> 02:47:00,790
just over into the wheat

2605
02:47:06,770 --> 02:47:03,030
looks like a good textbook flight nice

2606
02:47:11,190 --> 02:47:09,110
[Applause]

2607
02:47:12,150 --> 02:47:11,200
okay we're going to the far back pads

2608
02:47:15,349 --> 02:47:12,160
now

2609
02:47:17,110 --> 02:47:15,359
we're going to pad 43 we have jmu james

2610
02:47:19,590 --> 02:47:17,120
madison university out of harrisonburg

2611
02:47:21,990 --> 02:47:19,600
virginia this is zeus one this is the

2612
02:47:23,429 --> 02:47:22,000
heavy one 53 pound rocket six inch in

2613
02:47:25,349 --> 02:47:23,439
diameter this is the one that was

2614
02:47:28,309 --> 02:47:25,359
originally nine feet 11 inches grew to

2615
02:47:32,070 --> 02:47:28,319
10 feet does have an aerotech l motor l

2616
02:47:33,910 --> 02:47:32,080
1420 red line main is set for 700 feet

2617
02:47:37,670 --> 02:47:33,920
has the dead reckoning system with two

2618
02:47:39,190 --> 02:47:37,680
imus and an arduino should go 4 900 feet

2619
02:47:42,230 --> 02:47:39,200
has the camera on board so make sure

2620
02:47:45,030 --> 02:47:42,240
everyone is smiling pad 43 we have the

2621
02:47:48,630 --> 02:47:45,040
clear sky we have the clear range we're

2622
02:48:01,990 --> 02:47:48,640
gonna launch this one in five four three

2623
02:48:06,550 --> 02:48:03,830
let's start an arc over i'd say maybe

2624
02:48:10,070 --> 02:48:06,560
2500 3 000 feet

2625
02:48:11,750 --> 02:48:10,080
we won an event here pretty soon

2626
02:48:16,070 --> 02:48:11,760
there's the there it is there's it's

2627
02:48:19,429 --> 02:48:18,150
they are very excited a little bit of a

2628
02:48:21,429 --> 02:48:19,439
delay there

2629
02:48:24,550 --> 02:48:21,439
but they're excited so what happened on

2630
02:48:26,710 --> 02:48:24,560
that one probably very overstable and it

2631
02:48:30,389 --> 02:48:26,720
turned into the wind which probably

2632
02:48:32,550 --> 02:48:30,399
hindered its 4900 feet altitude

2633
02:48:34,710 --> 02:48:32,560
but as long as they know where it's

2634
02:48:35,750 --> 02:48:34,720
located i think the more important part

2635
02:48:38,950 --> 02:48:35,760
to it

2636
02:48:41,910 --> 02:48:38,960
they do have their main set for 700 feet

2637
02:48:43,030 --> 02:48:41,920
we're probably coming in about 1500 feet

2638
02:48:44,550 --> 02:48:43,040
right now

2639
02:48:46,469 --> 02:48:44,560
this one's over a little on the east

2640
02:48:47,910 --> 02:48:46,479
side of us we're at the lco desk we

2641
02:48:48,710 --> 02:48:47,920
should be approaching below a thousand

2642
02:48:53,750 --> 02:48:48,720
feet

2643
02:48:55,990 --> 02:48:53,760
now is where we should see that

2644
02:49:00,970 --> 02:48:56,000
okay i was a little off sorry

2645
02:49:06,070 --> 02:49:04,309
[Applause]

2646
02:49:07,429 --> 02:49:06,080
for the zees from the pad that's for

2647
02:49:09,590 --> 02:49:07,439
sure

2648
02:49:11,030 --> 02:49:09,600
but looks like a really good flight

2649
02:49:20,469 --> 02:49:11,040
there

2650
02:49:25,990 --> 02:49:23,190
and it looks like it landed right on the

2651
02:49:27,830 --> 02:49:26,000
pivot

2652
02:49:36,230 --> 02:49:27,840
so it's now turned into an agricultural

2653
02:49:42,070 --> 02:49:40,389
okay we're going to pad number 44.

2654
02:49:44,790 --> 02:49:42,080
this is purdue

2655
02:49:47,429 --> 02:49:44,800
university pspsl out of

2656
02:49:50,550 --> 02:49:47,439
west lafayette indiana this is the

2657
02:49:53,110 --> 02:49:50,560
green gas all brakes i got it right this

2658
02:49:55,429 --> 02:49:53,120
time another very lightweight rocket

2659
02:49:58,630 --> 02:49:55,439
coming in at 53 pounds six inch in

2660
02:50:01,590 --> 02:49:58,640
diameter 106 inches tall

2661
02:50:02,950 --> 02:50:01,600
this does have the aerotech l 2200 green

2662
02:50:04,710 --> 02:50:02,960
motor so it's going to take off with a

2663
02:50:07,510 --> 02:50:04,720
little bit of umph

2664
02:50:10,230 --> 02:50:07,520
does have the main set for 800 feet

2665
02:50:12,269 --> 02:50:10,240
this has the separating oriented

2666
02:50:14,710 --> 02:50:12,279
orienting and extending

2667
02:50:17,269 --> 02:50:14,720
trilateration radio range finding

2668
02:50:19,269 --> 02:50:17,279
experiment the mouthful of the project

2669
02:50:21,429 --> 02:50:19,279
here i know this is the new bottom half

2670
02:50:23,750 --> 02:50:21,439
on this rocket and this is the the team

2671
02:50:24,790 --> 02:50:23,760
that seems to run pretty deep i think

2672
02:50:27,750 --> 02:50:24,800
okay

2673
02:50:30,870 --> 02:50:27,760
pad 44 we're gonna launch this rocket we

2674
02:50:34,790 --> 02:50:30,880
have a clear sky we have a clear range

2675
02:50:35,590 --> 02:50:34,800
we're gonna launch in five four three

2676
02:50:41,690 --> 02:50:35,600
two

2677
02:50:45,670 --> 02:50:43,670
[Music]

2678
02:50:46,790 --> 02:50:45,680
like hearing that nice echo off that

2679
02:50:48,630 --> 02:50:46,800
motor

2680
02:50:50,950 --> 02:50:48,640
they heard someone say super loud i

2681
02:50:52,710 --> 02:50:50,960
would agree super loud indeed starting

2682
02:50:58,389 --> 02:50:52,720
to arc over

2683
02:50:58,399 --> 02:51:03,429
there's an event

2684
02:51:06,630 --> 02:51:04,790
looks like a project that was trying to

2685
02:51:08,150 --> 02:51:06,640
head towards the sun i don't know if

2686
02:51:13,110 --> 02:51:08,160
it's going to quite make it there but i

2687
02:51:13,120 --> 02:51:17,030
this main is set for

2688
02:51:21,590 --> 02:51:19,110
800 feet

2689
02:51:28,070 --> 02:51:21,600
we're still probably 3 000 feet right

2690
02:51:31,590 --> 02:51:30,230
and because of the requirements of this

2691
02:51:33,670 --> 02:51:31,600
competition

2692
02:51:35,429 --> 02:51:33,680
should be a pretty good sized main

2693
02:51:37,670 --> 02:51:35,439
parachute because of the weight that

2694
02:51:38,990 --> 02:51:37,680
this rocket carries we're below a

2695
02:51:40,309 --> 02:51:39,000
thousand feet right now

2696
02:51:42,150 --> 02:51:40,319
[Music]

2697
02:51:43,429 --> 02:51:42,160
we should see that main pair should come

2698
02:51:45,269 --> 02:51:43,439
right now

2699
02:51:51,670 --> 02:51:45,279
there it is now it's open there's its

2700
02:51:55,429 --> 02:51:53,349
it looks like they even have the colors

2701
02:51:57,030 --> 02:51:55,439
corresponding to their university nice

2702
02:51:59,190 --> 02:51:57,040
touch

2703
02:52:02,230 --> 02:51:59,200
give their head of marketing kudos so

2704
02:52:04,309 --> 02:52:02,240
now as you can see this rocket

2705
02:52:05,910 --> 02:52:04,319
this rocket is coming back to us at the

2706
02:52:09,670 --> 02:52:05,920
lco desk

2707
02:52:15,349 --> 02:52:12,230
look at this rocket point at it let your

2708
02:52:17,750 --> 02:52:15,359
neighbors know don't touch it don't

2709
02:52:20,870 --> 02:52:17,760
catch it

2710
02:52:23,349 --> 02:52:20,880
heads up folks right here by the lco

2711
02:52:25,110 --> 02:52:23,359
heads up everyone point at it look at it

2712
02:52:29,590 --> 02:52:25,120
let your neighbors know it should be out

2713
02:52:33,670 --> 02:52:31,510
why does purdue always have to have it

2714
02:52:37,990 --> 02:52:33,680
so exciting we don't need that kind of

2715
02:52:41,190 --> 02:52:39,910
they wanted to be near the social media

2716
02:52:43,269 --> 02:52:41,200
tent

2717
02:52:48,870 --> 02:52:43,279
they got their moment on facebook okay

2718
02:52:53,750 --> 02:52:51,429
okay we're going to continue on

2719
02:52:56,070 --> 02:52:53,760
pad number 45.

2720
02:52:58,710 --> 02:52:56,080

over seven feet tall

2726
02:53:11,510 --> 02:53:08,640

02:53:23,750 --> 02:53:22,000
has a correcting

2733
02:53:25,110 --> 02:53:23,760
static system it does have a strata

2734
02:53:27,510 --> 02:53:25,120
lager and this is the one that's been

2735
02:53:29,670 --> 02:53:27,520
driven around a bunch around the country

2736
02:53:32,469 --> 02:53:29,680
and it's got the i'll say rocker themed

2737
02:53:34,469 --> 02:53:32,479
paint job which was pretty neat to see

2738
02:53:37,190 --> 02:53:34,479
pad 45 we have the thumbs up so we have

2739
02:53:38,710 --> 02:53:37,200
the clear sky we have a clear range

2740
02:53:51,030 --> 02:53:38,720
where we're gonna launch the cloud

2741
02:53:54,230 --> 02:53:52,710
this one is the ignition hunter not the

2742
02:53:55,190 --> 02:53:54,240
cloud killer you might need to change

2743
02:53:57,190 --> 02:53:55,200
the name

2744
02:54:01,670 --> 02:53:57,200
let me talk to your marketing department

2745
02:54:03,910 --> 02:54:01,680
so it should be at 4 600 feet maybe

2746
02:54:04,830 --> 02:54:03,920
there's an event there's the backup to

2747
02:54:07,590 --> 02:54:04,840
that

2748
02:54:09,110 --> 02:54:07,600
one i don't see it yet

2749
02:54:10,790 --> 02:54:09,120
sounds like one person on the team is

2750
02:54:15,910 --> 02:54:10,800
excited

2751
02:54:21,830 --> 02:54:18,550
yep there it is i see it under a pretty

2752
02:54:23,750 --> 02:54:21,840
small drogue

2753
02:54:26,230 --> 02:54:23,760
it's over to the

2754
02:54:28,790 --> 02:54:26,240
east side

2755
02:54:29,670 --> 02:54:28,800
or the left side of the lco desk or kind

2756
02:54:33,590 --> 02:54:29,680
of

2757
02:54:41,110 --> 02:54:35,269
i think i got my directions right the

2758
02:54:45,750 --> 02:54:43,190
so we're below a thousand feet we should

2759
02:54:48,230 --> 02:54:45,760
see the main here pretty soon at 600

2760
02:54:51,030 --> 02:54:48,240
we're below 700. we should see the main

2761
02:54:53,429 --> 02:54:51,040
right now there it is

2762
02:54:54,710 --> 02:54:53,439
all right

2763
02:54:56,950 --> 02:54:54,720
they're trying to land near their i

2764
02:54:58,630 --> 02:54:56,960
think agricultural grass i think their

2765
02:55:00,550 --> 02:54:58,640
their land is just right over there but

2766
02:55:03,030 --> 02:55:00,560
now the wind's taking it back over this

2767
02:55:05,110 --> 02:55:03,040
way

2768
02:55:06,790 --> 02:55:05,120
and that looks like it's going to be on

2769
02:55:09,510 --> 02:55:06,800
track for a nice good landing hopefully

2770
02:55:16,870 --> 02:55:09,520
know its location of where it landed

2771
02:55:22,550 --> 02:55:19,510
okay we're going to the last last rocket

2772
02:55:24,150 --> 02:55:22,560
on this bank on pad number 60. we have

2773
02:55:27,670 --> 02:55:24,160
uncc

2774
02:55:30,230 --> 02:55:27,680
49er rocketry team unc charlotte out of

2775
02:55:33,190 --> 02:55:30,240
charlotte north carolina

2776
02:55:35,670 --> 02:55:33,200
this rock is called draco 42 pounds five

2777
02:55:37,990 --> 02:55:35,680
inch in diameter just over eight feet

2778
02:55:39,910 --> 02:55:38,000
tall this thrust to weight is 7.4 so

2779
02:55:43,349 --> 02:55:39,920
you'll get to see what that looks like

2780
02:55:45,990 --> 02:55:43,359
flying on an l 1390 green so green flame

2781
02:55:48,150 --> 02:55:46,000
on this one main set for 600 feet

2782
02:55:50,150 --> 02:55:48,160
this has the anvil system which is a

2783
02:55:51,670 --> 02:55:50,160
gimbal camera that is used to capture

2784
02:55:54,070 --> 02:55:51,680
images throughout

2785
02:55:56,070 --> 02:55:54,080
descent and image processing that is

2786
02:55:58,710 --> 02:55:56,080
used to find landing location this is

2787
02:56:01,590 --> 02:55:58,720
the one at apogee it'll actually drop

2788
02:56:03,590 --> 02:56:01,600
down a camera and start as image imaging

2789
02:56:06,389 --> 02:56:03,600
scanning process and then go back up and

2790
02:56:08,230 --> 02:56:06,399
retract into the rocket so there's a lot

2791
02:56:10,070 --> 02:56:08,240
going on with this one and you see the

2792
02:56:13,190 --> 02:56:10,080
twisted paint job that's actually with

2793
02:56:15,190 --> 02:56:13,200
the dragon or the draco look to it so

2794
02:56:16,309 --> 02:56:15,200
the in the dragon constellation is the

2795
02:56:18,950 --> 02:56:16,319
name of it

2796
02:56:22,150 --> 02:56:18,960
on pad 60 clear sky got the thumbs up

2797
02:56:23,750 --> 02:56:22,160
clear range we will launch in five

2798
02:56:33,269 --> 02:56:23,760
four three

2799
02:56:38,230 --> 02:56:34,950
nice little echo on that one that one

2800
02:56:41,030 --> 02:56:38,240
went pretty straight up on there

2801
02:56:43,190 --> 02:56:41,040
i wasn't sure what the projected

2802
02:56:46,550 --> 02:56:43,200
altitude or predicted altitude is but it

2803
02:56:49,670 --> 02:56:46,560
looks to be over 4 000. we need an event

2804
02:56:53,349 --> 02:56:49,680
there's an event there is it's back up

2805
02:56:55,269 --> 02:56:53,359
maybe a third one on there possibly

2806
02:56:56,469 --> 02:56:55,279
and i don't know if these are in two and

2807
02:57:00,230 --> 02:56:56,479
i don't know if these are in two

2808
02:57:02,469 --> 02:57:00,240
different pieces or one piece

2809
02:57:04,469 --> 02:57:02,479
two pieces okay so

2810
02:57:06,150 --> 02:57:04,479
they need extra team members to track

2811
02:57:07,190 --> 02:57:06,160
all these pieces coming in but this is

2812
02:57:09,269 --> 02:57:07,200
where

2813
02:57:12,389 --> 02:57:09,279
the part of the project starts

2814
02:57:14,389 --> 02:57:12,399
retracting down a camera

2815
02:57:15,349 --> 02:57:14,399
and then there's a parachute that came

2816
02:57:19,110 --> 02:57:15,359
out i don't know if it's supposed to

2817
02:57:20,870 --> 02:57:19,120
come out that early but it did

2818
02:57:22,630 --> 02:57:20,880
and then there is a

2819
02:57:24,710 --> 02:57:22,640
and then second piece does have its own

2820
02:57:26,389 --> 02:57:24,720
recovery system

2821
02:57:28,389 --> 02:57:26,399
so the first piece looks like it's had

2822
02:57:29,830 --> 02:57:28,399
its main out

2823
02:57:32,469 --> 02:57:29,840
i don't know if the main was supposed to

2824
02:57:37,190 --> 02:57:32,479
come out that high but it is so there it

2825
02:57:41,429 --> 02:57:39,190
and then the other part oh it should be

2826
02:57:44,630 --> 02:57:41,439
there's it there's this event

2827
02:57:47,349 --> 02:57:44,640
okay there's the all this all the stuff

2828
02:57:52,309 --> 02:57:49,110
one of the parachutes looks to be out

2829
02:57:56,150 --> 02:57:54,309
that's going to be doing uh we'll be up

2830
02:57:58,309 --> 02:57:56,160
there for quite a while

2831
02:58:00,309 --> 02:57:58,319
with the way with the wind

2832
02:58:01,990 --> 02:58:00,319
that will be out in the wheat

2833
02:58:03,030 --> 02:58:02,000
well behind the crowd but what you can

2834
02:58:05,110 --> 02:58:03,040
see here

2835
02:58:07,269 --> 02:58:05,120
the rocket's not moving a whole lot up

2836
02:58:09,590 --> 02:58:07,279
in the air so the surface winds are a

2837
02:58:11,190 --> 02:58:09,600
little bit higher than the winds aloft

2838
02:58:12,630 --> 02:58:11,200
as it starts to come lower and lower

2839
02:58:14,790 --> 02:58:12,640
we'll see the rockets start to move a

2840
02:58:18,630 --> 02:58:14,800
little bit quicker

2841
02:58:20,630 --> 02:58:18,640
under that big big main parachute

2842
02:58:22,230 --> 02:58:20,640
and you can see the lower part as it's

2843
02:58:27,030 --> 02:58:22,240
starting to cruise down on the end of

2844
02:58:33,190 --> 02:58:30,389
and that's down

2845
02:58:35,830 --> 02:58:33,200
and then the other part

2846
02:58:40,710 --> 02:58:35,840
of the draco rocket is still kind of

2847
02:58:40,720 --> 02:58:48,630
okay right now a range is open

2848
02:58:53,590 --> 02:58:50,469
so the part we're looking at now this is

2849
02:58:55,830 --> 02:58:53,600
the part i think that is doing their

2850
02:58:57,910 --> 02:58:55,840
gimbal camera that's capturing images

2851
02:59:00,870 --> 02:58:57,920
throughout the descent is doing the

2852
02:59:03,670 --> 02:59:00,880
image processing so the camera comes in

2853
02:59:05,349 --> 02:59:03,680
and out so it's scanning the field right

2854
02:59:07,510 --> 02:59:05,359
now

2855
02:59:11,190 --> 02:59:07,520
taking pictures and then before landing

2856
02:59:11,200 --> 02:59:18,710
so that is all the brains to the project

2857
02:59:22,790 --> 02:59:20,950
just wanted i guess see more of take

2858
02:59:26,870 --> 02:59:22,800
more pictures maybe that's why the main

2859
02:59:30,469 --> 02:59:28,550
taking a scenic route is what i've been

2860
02:59:33,510 --> 02:59:30,479
told taking us a little more of a scenic

2861
02:59:35,670 --> 02:59:33,520
route but it's looking good and it's

2862
03:00:14,740 --> 02:59:35,680
well north of all of us so we are okay

2863
03:00:14,750 --> 03:01:10,389
[Music]

2864
03:01:13,590 --> 03:01:12,309
hello everyone we are back with you as

2865
03:01:15,750 --> 03:01:13,600
you just saw the first volley of

2866
03:01:17,429 --> 03:01:15,760
launches all took to the sky teams are

2867
03:01:20,389 --> 03:01:17,439
out recovering their rockets checking

2868
03:01:22,230 --> 03:01:20,399
out how their payloads went right now

2869
03:01:24,630 --> 03:01:22,240
we are now joined by someone who knows

2870
03:01:26,309 --> 03:01:24,640
just a little bit about rockets uh mr

2871
03:01:27,590 --> 03:01:26,319
dave reynolds with nasa's space launch

2872
03:01:29,750 --> 03:01:27,600
system program

2873
03:01:31,830 --> 03:01:29,760
dave tell us what your role is with sls

2874
03:01:33,750 --> 03:01:31,840
and what that space launch system rocket

2875
03:01:36,070 --> 03:01:33,760
is yeah thanks will yeah it's real

2876
03:01:38,070 --> 03:01:36,080
exciting to be out here today and and uh

2877
03:01:40,070 --> 03:01:38,080
like you said this is really

2878
03:01:42,950 --> 03:01:40,080
fairly similar in many ways to the to

2879
03:01:45,830 --> 03:01:42,960
what i do as a living um like like you

2880
03:01:47,269 --> 03:01:45,840
said i work in the sls booster project

2881
03:01:48,870 --> 03:01:47,279
office and

2882
03:01:51,349 --> 03:01:48,880
as most people probably know the

2883
03:01:53,110 --> 03:01:51,359
boosters are those two large white

2884
03:01:54,230 --> 03:01:53,120
rockets that sit on either side of the

2885
03:01:56,150 --> 03:01:54,240
sls

2886
03:01:57,910 --> 03:01:56,160
those are known as solid rockets as

2887
03:01:58,950 --> 03:01:57,920
opposed to liquid rockets well every one

2888
03:02:01,110 --> 03:01:58,960
of these rockets that you're seeing

2889
03:02:03,269 --> 03:02:01,120
today are all solid rockets and so

2890
03:02:05,190 --> 03:02:03,279
they're kind of cousins kind of nephews

2891
03:02:07,670 --> 03:02:05,200
to to what we're planning on launching

2892
03:02:09,429 --> 03:02:07,680
with the sls program and so that is the

2893
03:02:11,190 --> 03:02:09,439
primary thing that we're working on

2894
03:02:13,910 --> 03:02:11,200
trying to get the uh

2895
03:02:14,710 --> 03:02:13,920
the sls up to up to space

2896
03:02:17,269 --> 03:02:14,720
um

2897
03:02:19,670 --> 03:02:17,279
and just as a brief status on where

2898
03:02:22,070 --> 03:02:19,680
we're going um

2899
03:02:24,710 --> 03:02:22,080
we've we recently rolled out to the pad

2900
03:02:27,429 --> 03:02:24,720
we're in a series of tests with uh with

2901
03:02:29,670 --> 03:02:27,439
the sls rocket we've had three what we

2902
03:02:31,110 --> 03:02:29,680
call wet dress rehearsal attempts

2903
03:02:32,630 --> 03:02:31,120
each one of those we're trying to learn

2904
03:02:34,790 --> 03:02:32,640
different things about how to

2905
03:02:36,870 --> 03:02:34,800
fill up the rocket with propellants

2906
03:02:38,950 --> 03:02:36,880
do the countdown run the software and

2907
03:02:40,150 --> 03:02:38,960
learn all sorts of things so as you saw

2908
03:02:43,110 --> 03:02:40,160
a little bit earlier with some of these

2909
03:02:44,550 --> 03:02:43,120
rockets you know they had a couple of

2910
03:02:47,030 --> 03:02:44,560
problems trying to get some of them off

2911
03:02:48,870 --> 03:02:47,040
the off the pad we have the exact same

2912
03:02:50,230 --> 03:02:48,880
type of problems just on a bigger scale

2913
03:02:52,309 --> 03:02:50,240
and so that's exactly what we're trying

2914
03:02:53,990 --> 03:02:52,319
to do down at cape canaveral right now

2915
03:02:55,030 --> 03:02:54,000
trying to learn more about our rocket

2916
03:02:56,469 --> 03:02:55,040
trying to figure out how we're going to

2917
03:02:57,510 --> 03:02:56,479
get it off the ground trying to figure

2918
03:02:59,590 --> 03:02:57,520
out how we're going to get it up into

2919
03:03:01,349 --> 03:02:59,600
space so dave when we do launch that

2920
03:03:03,670 --> 03:03:01,359
what uh what is the destination what is

2921
03:03:05,990 --> 03:03:03,680
the goal of sls in the artemis program

2922
03:03:08,309 --> 03:03:06,000
yes ultimately sls is what we call a

2923
03:03:12,630 --> 03:03:08,319
heavy lift vehicle which means that it

2924
03:03:15,030 --> 03:03:12,640
has a broad versatility that it can do

2925
03:03:17,670 --> 03:03:15,040
the short term what artemis is trying to

2926
03:03:20,230 --> 03:03:17,680
accomplish is to land the first uh woman

2927
03:03:22,710 --> 03:03:20,240
and first person of color and and other

2928
03:03:24,550 --> 03:03:22,720
astronauts on the moon again to not just

2929
03:03:26,550 --> 03:03:24,560
visit like we did back in the 60s and

2930
03:03:27,429 --> 03:03:26,560
70s but also

2931
03:03:29,830 --> 03:03:27,439
to

2932
03:03:31,590 --> 03:03:29,840
create a permanent presence and so sls

2933
03:03:33,910 --> 03:03:31,600
enables that by having a heavy lift

2934
03:03:36,389 --> 03:03:33,920
capability because as you know it's all

2935
03:03:37,830 --> 03:03:36,399
about rockets are all about getting mass

2936
03:03:40,150 --> 03:03:37,840
from the ground

2937
03:03:42,150 --> 03:03:40,160
up into the sky right and so sls needs

2938
03:03:43,910 --> 03:03:42,160
to be able to carry a heavy payload to

2939
03:03:46,710 --> 03:03:43,920
be able to get it from here on the earth

2940
03:03:48,550 --> 03:03:46,720
where it's built up into lunar orbit and

2941
03:03:50,230 --> 03:03:48,560
then down to lunar orbit down onto the

2942
03:03:51,349 --> 03:03:50,240
surface of the of the moon so that

2943
03:03:53,990 --> 03:03:51,359
people can

2944
03:03:56,070 --> 03:03:54,000
can ultimately learn to live and explore

2945
03:03:58,550 --> 03:03:56,080
on the surface of the moon and then down

2946
03:04:00,870 --> 03:03:58,560
the road we're going to try to enable

2947
03:04:02,870 --> 03:04:00,880
deeper space missions the next major

2948
03:04:05,190 --> 03:04:02,880
step obviously for for

2949
03:04:06,950 --> 03:04:05,200
humankind is landing on the surface of

2950
03:04:09,030 --> 03:04:06,960
mars and starting to learn about other

2951
03:04:11,030 --> 03:04:09,040
planets as opposed to just our next next

2952
03:04:13,110 --> 03:04:11,040
door neighbor so now we're looking at

2953
03:04:15,190 --> 03:04:13,120
the artemis generations what we have out

2954
03:04:16,630 --> 03:04:15,200
here today how do

2955
03:04:19,269 --> 03:04:16,640
the lessons that they've gone through

2956
03:04:21,110 --> 03:04:19,279
and they've gone through the

2957
03:04:22,550 --> 03:04:21,120
proposal process they've gone through

2958
03:04:24,710 --> 03:04:22,560
preliminary design review critical

2959
03:04:26,389 --> 03:04:24,720
design review flight readiness reviews

2960
03:04:28,309 --> 03:04:26,399
how does what they're doing out here

2961
03:04:30,550 --> 03:04:28,319
today and what they're learning relate

2962
03:04:31,750 --> 03:04:30,560
to what we're doing and what lessons are

2963
03:04:33,750 --> 03:04:31,760
they learning out here that will help

2964
03:04:35,590 --> 03:04:33,760
them for a career in the spaceflight

2965
03:04:38,309 --> 03:04:35,600
industry yeah actually the process that

2966
03:04:40,150 --> 03:04:38,319
you just described is a standard systems

2967
03:04:42,230 --> 03:04:40,160
engineering process that we use right

2968
03:04:44,230 --> 03:04:42,240
here at nasa you start out with a with a

2969
03:04:45,510 --> 03:04:44,240
conceptual design and you go through the

2970
03:04:47,510 --> 03:04:45,520
requirements what are we trying to do

2971
03:04:50,070 --> 03:04:47,520
we're trying to loft in this case a

2972
03:04:51,269 --> 03:04:50,080
payload up to approximately one mile

2973
03:04:54,070 --> 03:04:51,279
it's got a

2974
03:04:55,590 --> 03:04:54,080
papa a shoot at about 700 a thousand

2975
03:04:57,110 --> 03:04:55,600
feet and so you start to write these

2976
03:04:59,590 --> 03:04:57,120
requirements down and then you come up

2977
03:05:01,510 --> 03:04:59,600
with a preliminary design and then that

2978
03:05:03,510 --> 03:05:01,520
basically gives you the architecture for

2979
03:05:06,070 --> 03:05:03,520
your rocket and then you come up with it

2980
03:05:07,910 --> 03:05:06,080
with a a certificate certification

2981
03:05:09,269 --> 03:05:07,920
design where you build and you test your

2982
03:05:10,710 --> 03:05:09,279
rocket on the ground and you make sure

2983
03:05:13,590 --> 03:05:10,720
that it's ready to go

2984
03:05:14,630 --> 03:05:13,600
and so if these students eventually come

2985
03:05:16,469 --> 03:05:14,640
to work for

2986
03:05:18,230 --> 03:05:16,479
nasa or any of the major aerospace

2987
03:05:20,070 --> 03:05:18,240
rocket companies they will go through

2988
03:05:21,590 --> 03:05:20,080
that exam exact same type process

2989
03:05:24,230 --> 03:05:21,600
they'll just be doing it on a bigger

2990
03:05:25,750 --> 03:05:24,240
scale so they are learning uh they're

2991
03:05:28,230 --> 03:05:25,760
learning skills that are going to take

2992
03:05:29,349 --> 03:05:28,240
them right into these aerospace careers

2993
03:05:31,670 --> 03:05:29,359
and they'll be able to come into these

2994
03:05:34,070 --> 03:05:31,680
meetings and say yeah we did that on our

2995
03:05:35,910 --> 03:05:34,080
rocket we solved problems like this and

2996
03:05:37,269 --> 03:05:35,920
uh i mean that's really what what

2997
03:05:39,269 --> 03:05:37,279
engineering and stem is all about is

2998
03:05:40,469 --> 03:05:39,279
solving the problems and so it's just a

2999
03:05:42,230 --> 03:05:40,479
standardized process and they're going

3000
03:05:43,910 --> 03:05:42,240
to be very familiar with that process

3001
03:05:45,030 --> 03:05:43,920
once they get into their careers yeah

3002
03:05:46,309 --> 03:05:45,040
excellent i know we've talked to a lot

3003
03:05:47,830 --> 03:05:46,319
of teams and we've got we'll hear from

3004
03:05:49,190 --> 03:05:47,840
more teams today about about how their

3005
03:05:50,710 --> 03:05:49,200
rockets went and some of the problems

3006
03:05:52,950 --> 03:05:50,720
that they've encountered throughout this

3007
03:05:54,710 --> 03:05:52,960
long process um so you've seen the

3008
03:05:56,630 --> 03:05:54,720
rockets fly what was it like standing

3009
03:05:58,469 --> 03:05:56,640
here real close to the flight line

3010
03:06:00,150 --> 03:05:58,479
watching those rockets take off for you

3011
03:06:02,070 --> 03:06:00,160
it's a lot of it's a lot of fun to watch

3012
03:06:04,389 --> 03:06:02,080
these things because i mean i remember

3013
03:06:06,230 --> 03:06:04,399
as a kid um

3014
03:06:07,990 --> 03:06:06,240
launching these small estes rockets you

3015
03:06:10,070 --> 03:06:08,000
can go to the store and purchase these

3016
03:06:11,750 --> 03:06:10,080
little rocket motors and put them in

3017
03:06:13,429 --> 03:06:11,760
these little rockets and launch them and

3018
03:06:14,870 --> 03:06:13,439
then you can get them bigger and bigger

3019
03:06:16,389 --> 03:06:14,880
and eventually you got to get a

3020
03:06:18,070 --> 03:06:16,399
certification to be able to buy some of

3021
03:06:19,110 --> 03:06:18,080
the motors well the rockets so these

3022
03:06:20,309 --> 03:06:19,120
guys are flying you got to have a

3023
03:06:22,870 --> 03:06:20,319
certification you got to have a

3024
03:06:24,150 --> 03:06:22,880
membership of the club and and have uh

3025
03:06:25,510 --> 03:06:24,160
training and such to be able to launch

3026
03:06:27,269 --> 03:06:25,520
these things so it's really exciting i

3027
03:06:29,510 --> 03:06:27,279
never made it that far right i kind of

3028
03:06:31,510 --> 03:06:29,520
went from the sds motors all the way

3029
03:06:33,429 --> 03:06:31,520
into the space launch system right and

3030
03:06:35,190 --> 03:06:33,439
so i think it would have if i had gone

3031
03:06:36,630 --> 03:06:35,200
back to college and i had a team like

3032
03:06:38,070 --> 03:06:36,640
this i would have joined it for sure

3033
03:06:39,670 --> 03:06:38,080
because it would have been a tremendous

3034
03:06:41,110 --> 03:06:39,680
experience to be able to launch these

3035
03:06:43,590 --> 03:06:41,120
things learn all about the engineering

3036
03:06:45,110 --> 03:06:43,600
skills that that that take place in

3037
03:06:46,790 --> 03:06:45,120
building this thing and solving all the

3038
03:06:48,309 --> 03:06:46,800
problems that get there so it's it's a

3039
03:06:49,830 --> 03:06:48,319
lot of fun to be out here

3040
03:06:51,510 --> 03:06:49,840
so one of the things i want to ask you

3041
03:06:53,590 --> 03:06:51,520
um talking about going to the big

3042
03:06:55,510 --> 03:06:53,600
rockets you've been up close with the

3043
03:06:57,670 --> 03:06:55,520
art in this one launch vehicle we're

3044
03:06:59,349 --> 03:06:57,680
targeting launch to fly later this year

3045
03:07:01,110 --> 03:06:59,359
what is it like i was there at roll out

3046
03:07:02,550 --> 03:07:01,120
so i was a few hundred yards away and i

3047
03:07:03,990 --> 03:07:02,560
felt like i could reach out and touch

3048
03:07:06,070 --> 03:07:04,000
what is it like working with that

3049
03:07:08,230 --> 03:07:06,080
hardware and being up close with a

3050
03:07:10,870 --> 03:07:08,240
rocket of that magnitude yeah i'll tell

3051
03:07:13,269 --> 03:07:10,880
you it is it is bigger than you could

3052
03:07:14,710 --> 03:07:13,279
possibly imagine i mean you see it you

3053
03:07:17,269 --> 03:07:14,720
see it next to things and it's going to

3054
03:07:18,950 --> 03:07:17,279
give you some perspective of size but

3055
03:07:20,230 --> 03:07:18,960
and i used to work on space shuttle and

3056
03:07:21,670 --> 03:07:20,240
the space shuttle was bigger than you

3057
03:07:23,269 --> 03:07:21,680
could have possibly imagined you stand

3058
03:07:24,870 --> 03:07:23,279
at the foot of that thing and you're

3059
03:07:27,030 --> 03:07:24,880
looking up at it and you're saying wow i

3060
03:07:28,630 --> 03:07:27,040
cannot believe that all of this goes up

3061
03:07:31,349 --> 03:07:28,640
into space but when i'm standing next to

3062
03:07:33,429 --> 03:07:31,359
the sls rocket and it's almost twice the

3063
03:07:35,750 --> 03:07:33,439
size of the space shuttle

3064
03:07:37,830 --> 03:07:35,760
it's unbelievable and then knowing that

3065
03:07:40,550 --> 03:07:37,840
when we finally launch that thing it is

3066
03:07:42,710 --> 03:07:40,560
going to put so much power that it's

3067
03:07:43,910 --> 03:07:42,720
going to rattle windows down in central

3068
03:07:45,590 --> 03:07:43,920
florida

3069
03:07:46,550 --> 03:07:45,600
it's going to wake up everybody if

3070
03:07:47,750 --> 03:07:46,560
you're trying to sleep through it

3071
03:07:49,830 --> 03:07:47,760
there's no way you're sleeping through

3072
03:07:51,750 --> 03:07:49,840
that launch and so it is going to be the

3073
03:07:53,110 --> 03:07:51,760
world's most powerful rocket taking off

3074
03:07:55,670 --> 03:07:53,120
from central florida and that's going to

3075
03:07:57,750 --> 03:07:55,680
be one exciting show for sure dave just

3076
03:07:59,830 --> 03:07:57,760
like these young rocketeers out here

3077
03:08:02,230 --> 03:07:59,840
this is not the last step for them we've

3078
03:08:04,790 --> 03:08:02,240
got hardware in work for more missions

3079
03:08:06,070 --> 03:08:04,800
than just artemis one okay tell us a

3080
03:08:07,269 --> 03:08:06,080
little bit about some of the other

3081
03:08:09,269 --> 03:08:07,279
things that are going for our next

3082
03:08:11,190 --> 03:08:09,279
artemis missions and for sls yeah i mean

3083
03:08:13,349 --> 03:08:11,200
i can primarily speak from the position

3084
03:08:14,870 --> 03:08:13,359
of the boosters um when we first started

3085
03:08:16,950 --> 03:08:14,880
the program we knew that we were going

3086
03:08:18,469 --> 03:08:16,960
to be flying out some of the old shuttle

3087
03:08:20,070 --> 03:08:18,479
hardware some of the stuff that we had

3088
03:08:21,349 --> 03:08:20,080
saved and so that's a lot of the

3089
03:08:22,710 --> 03:08:21,359
architecture and the lessons learned

3090
03:08:24,790 --> 03:08:22,720
that we had learned from shuttle we've

3091
03:08:26,150 --> 03:08:24,800
now built into the sls program and so

3092
03:08:28,309 --> 03:08:26,160
we're using some of that same

3093
03:08:30,389 --> 03:08:28,319
architecture and same hardware for the

3094
03:08:32,309 --> 03:08:30,399
boosters we saved eight flights worth of

3095
03:08:34,790 --> 03:08:32,319
hardware and we actually in booster land

3096
03:08:36,870 --> 03:08:34,800
we have uh we're building we've built

3097
03:08:38,550 --> 03:08:36,880
three sets of those boosters we're

3098
03:08:39,750 --> 03:08:38,560
building the fourth one so for the

3099
03:08:42,150 --> 03:08:39,760
fourth flight

3100
03:08:44,150 --> 03:08:42,160
um and then uh we are also within

3101
03:08:45,750 --> 03:08:44,160
booster uh knowing that we're gonna run

3102
03:08:46,950 --> 03:08:45,760
out of this shuttle hardware that we've

3103
03:08:49,190 --> 03:08:46,960
saved at some point we're starting on

3104
03:08:51,670 --> 03:08:49,200
the next generation well if once we

3105
03:08:53,910 --> 03:08:51,680
decided we're gonna have to build a new

3106
03:08:55,830 --> 03:08:53,920
booster design anyway we decided what's

3107
03:08:57,670 --> 03:08:55,840
the point of just turning the crank

3108
03:08:59,830 --> 03:08:57,680
again let's see what else we can get out

3109
03:09:01,030 --> 03:08:59,840
of the vehicle and so we have upgraded

3110
03:09:03,670 --> 03:09:01,040
this booster and that is what we're

3111
03:09:06,230 --> 03:09:03,680
currently working on so in this upgraded

3112
03:09:08,389 --> 03:09:06,240
booster design we are switching to a

3113
03:09:10,550 --> 03:09:08,399
state-of-the-art composite case instead

3114
03:09:12,150 --> 03:09:10,560
of metal cases like uh that was used on

3115
03:09:13,910 --> 03:09:12,160
the shuttle program

3116
03:09:15,670 --> 03:09:13,920
when we're switching to a

3117
03:09:17,830 --> 03:09:15,680
state-of-the-art propellant

3118
03:09:19,429 --> 03:09:17,840
we're changing the avionics system we

3119
03:09:21,429 --> 03:09:19,439
are changing the way that the boosters

3120
03:09:23,190 --> 03:09:21,439
will separate because it was optimized

3121
03:09:24,389 --> 03:09:23,200
originally for separating from the space

3122
03:09:25,750 --> 03:09:24,399
shuttle and it's different when you

3123
03:09:27,670 --> 03:09:25,760
separate from the sls so we're

3124
03:09:29,590 --> 03:09:27,680
optimizing that and of course because

3125
03:09:31,510 --> 03:09:29,600
we're going to produce more power out of

3126
03:09:33,590 --> 03:09:31,520
these boosters you need a new nozzle and

3127
03:09:35,269 --> 03:09:33,600
so we're redesigning that so that's what

3128
03:09:36,790 --> 03:09:35,279
we're going to call the block 2 booster

3129
03:09:38,950 --> 03:09:36,800
it's basically the next

3130
03:09:40,309 --> 03:09:38,960
major step for the vehicle we have three

3131
03:09:42,550 --> 03:09:40,319
iterations that we're working through

3132
03:09:44,710 --> 03:09:42,560
and that's the third iteration so the

3133
03:09:46,790 --> 03:09:44,720
rest of the vehicle for sls is currently

3134
03:09:49,030 --> 03:09:46,800
working on you've got artemis one out on

3135
03:09:51,269 --> 03:09:49,040
the pad you've got artemis ii in in

3136
03:09:52,469 --> 03:09:51,279
finishing things up in the factory it's

3137
03:09:54,229 --> 03:09:52,479
going to be shipped to the cape here in

3138
03:09:56,389 --> 03:09:54,239
the next year or so to be able to start

3139
03:09:58,550 --> 03:09:56,399
fabricating it the boosters are ready to

3140
03:10:00,870 --> 03:09:58,560
ship to the cape at some point art must

3141
03:10:02,469 --> 03:10:00,880
three same thing and artemis iv like i

3142
03:10:04,630 --> 03:10:02,479
said most of the elements of the

3143
03:10:06,630 --> 03:10:04,640
different uh pieces of the sls are

3144
03:10:08,309 --> 03:10:06,640
starting to build that hardware because

3145
03:10:09,910 --> 03:10:08,319
like i said we're not just going one

3146
03:10:11,910 --> 03:10:09,920
launch at a time we have a long-term

3147
03:10:13,590 --> 03:10:11,920
mission that we're trying to accomplish

3148
03:10:15,429 --> 03:10:13,600
in trying to get people on the moon and

3149
03:10:17,269 --> 03:10:15,439
get them to mars that's so awesome i

3150
03:10:19,510 --> 03:10:17,279
know i'm excited i joined the sls team

3151
03:10:22,070 --> 03:10:19,520
about a year ago and it's been nothing

3152
03:10:23,990 --> 03:10:22,080
but a blast pun intended

3153
03:10:25,349 --> 03:10:24,000
to be around the program and to see not

3154
03:10:27,910 --> 03:10:25,359
just the art of this one booster coming

3155
03:10:30,389 --> 03:10:27,920
together there are artemis one launch

3156
03:10:32,870 --> 03:10:30,399
vehicle come together but for many more

3157
03:10:33,830 --> 03:10:32,880
missions um

3158
03:10:35,990 --> 03:10:33,840
so

3159
03:10:37,990 --> 03:10:36,000
i guess any advice for these young

3160
03:10:39,429 --> 03:10:38,000
people out here

3161
03:10:42,150 --> 03:10:39,439
as they're looking to get their career

3162
03:10:44,150 --> 03:10:42,160
started in in rocketry yeah i mean i'd

3163
03:10:45,990 --> 03:10:44,160
say that they're learning it right now

3164
03:10:48,389 --> 03:10:46,000
and that is don't be discouraged by

3165
03:10:50,550 --> 03:10:48,399
setbacks you're gonna have setbacks

3166
03:10:54,950 --> 03:10:50,560
rocketry is hard trying to get stuff

3167
03:10:57,190 --> 03:10:54,960
from zero miles an hour to 18 000 miles

3168
03:10:57,830 --> 03:10:57,200
an hour that's hard stuff and work on

3169
03:10:59,830 --> 03:10:57,840
the

3170
03:11:01,190 --> 03:10:59,840
rocketry is currently on it's always on

3171
03:11:02,550 --> 03:11:01,200
the cutting edge because you're always

3172
03:11:04,309 --> 03:11:02,560
trying to push your hardware further and

3173
03:11:05,429 --> 03:11:04,319
further and harder and harder and harder

3174
03:11:07,510 --> 03:11:05,439
and so obviously you're going to have

3175
03:11:09,670 --> 03:11:07,520
setbacks um and so

3176
03:11:11,670 --> 03:11:09,680
as you have setbacks either in in this

3177
03:11:13,830 --> 03:11:11,680
work or you have it in school or you

3178
03:11:15,269 --> 03:11:13,840
have it just in life work through it

3179
03:11:18,389 --> 03:11:15,279
that's what you do that's how we have

3180
03:11:20,469 --> 03:11:18,399
gotten from from uh banging two rocks

3181
03:11:23,190 --> 03:11:20,479
together to try to put people back on

3182
03:11:25,110 --> 03:11:23,200
the moon it's it's open it's people

3183
03:11:26,870 --> 03:11:25,120
overcoming these setbacks one step at a

3184
03:11:28,389 --> 03:11:26,880
time and learning from these mistakes i

3185
03:11:30,710 --> 03:11:28,399
think that's probably the biggest lesson

3186
03:11:32,710 --> 03:11:30,720
that that anybody can get out of an

3187
03:11:35,830 --> 03:11:32,720
activity like this or any other activity

3188
03:11:37,510 --> 03:11:35,840
that that is uh related to stem well i

3189
03:11:38,790 --> 03:11:37,520
think that's great advice dave thank you

3190
03:11:41,590 --> 03:11:38,800
so much for coming out spending some

3191
03:11:43,590 --> 03:11:41,600
time with us and talking to us about sls

3192
03:11:45,750 --> 03:11:43,600
the space launch system program is

3193
03:11:48,070 --> 03:11:45,760
america's rocket we're going to be doing

3194
03:11:50,710 --> 03:11:48,080
things that we have dreamed of for

3195
03:11:52,389 --> 03:11:50,720
decades we're going to send people back

3196
03:11:53,750 --> 03:11:52,399
to the moon to a region we've never

3197
03:11:55,349 --> 03:11:53,760
explored before we're going to do

3198
03:11:56,790 --> 03:11:55,359
cutting-edge science we're going to

3199
03:11:59,349 --> 03:11:56,800
develop technologies that are going to

3200
03:12:00,950 --> 03:11:59,359
be critical for us going to mars it's

3201
03:12:02,229 --> 03:12:00,960
going to be the generation that is

3202
03:12:03,990 --> 03:12:02,239
working from the space flight industry

3203
03:12:05,349 --> 03:12:04,000
now and these young people that you are

3204
03:12:06,950 --> 03:12:05,359
seeing out here today they're going to

3205
03:12:09,269 --> 03:12:06,960
be the ones that make it happen and we

3206
03:12:11,670 --> 03:12:09,279
cannot wait and cannot be more excited

3207
03:12:12,469 --> 03:12:11,680
for you all to be a part of this artemis

3208
03:12:13,590 --> 03:12:12,479
team

3209
03:12:15,670 --> 03:12:13,600
we're going to bring more coverage to

3210
03:12:17,830 --> 03:12:15,680
you back as our teams are out recovering

3211
03:12:19,670 --> 03:12:17,840
their rockets more team interviews

3212
03:12:21,269 --> 03:12:19,680
throughout the day hang out with us here

3213
03:12:23,110 --> 03:12:21,279
and if you have any questions remember

3214
03:12:24,870 --> 03:12:23,120
hashtag studentlaunch we're going to

3215
03:12:26,469 --> 03:12:24,880
bring we'll be right back to you thanks

3216
03:12:45,180 --> 03:12:26,479
for joining us for the 2022 student

3217
03:13:37,590 --> 03:12:54,110
[Music]

3218
03:13:37,600 --> 03:13:41,280
so

3219
03:13:41,290 --> 03:13:55,190
[Music]

3220
03:13:59,890 --> 03:13:57,349
space is for everyone we're all working

3221
03:14:03,670 --> 03:13:59,900
towards a common goal

3222
03:14:06,150 --> 03:14:03,680
[Music]

3223
03:14:08,830 --> 03:14:06,160
just seeing people learn and grow and

3224
03:14:11,750 --> 03:14:08,840
the community benefiting as a

3225
03:14:13,750 --> 03:14:11,760
whole we have vendors from all around

3226
03:14:14,550 --> 03:14:13,760
this country and all of that's bringing

3227
03:14:26,630 --> 03:14:14,560
in

3228
03:14:27,730 --> 03:14:26,640
it provides people with ability to feed

3229
03:14:33,269 --> 03:14:27,740
their families

3230
03:14:37,349 --> 03:14:34,710
not everyone who works on the space

3231
03:14:39,510 --> 03:14:37,359
program is is an engineer or scientist

3232
03:14:41,750 --> 03:14:39,520
in a white lab coat and there's vital

3233
03:14:44,229 --> 03:14:41,760
roles

3234
03:14:46,389 --> 03:14:44,239
everybody at nasa is very team work

3235
03:14:49,030 --> 03:14:46,399
driven nothing that we do here is done

3236
03:14:52,150 --> 03:14:49,040
by itself all successful missions come

3237
03:14:54,469 --> 03:14:52,160
from a team that works together that is

3238
03:14:56,550 --> 03:14:54,479
diverse and we each bring a different

3239
03:14:58,229 --> 03:14:56,560
perspective to the team to help us

3240
03:15:00,790 --> 03:14:58,239
achieve our goals

3241
03:15:02,790 --> 03:15:00,800
there's literally an expert kind of

3242
03:15:05,590 --> 03:15:02,800
within arm's reach that you can ask any

3243
03:15:08,790 --> 03:15:05,600
question to and you'll probably get one

3244
03:15:16,070 --> 03:15:08,800
of the best answers in the world

3245
03:15:18,550 --> 03:15:16,080
[Music]

3246
03:15:20,550 --> 03:15:18,560
we take a lot of ownership and what we

3247
03:15:22,710 --> 03:15:20,560
do you get to see a lot of that passion

3248
03:15:25,349 --> 03:15:22,720
you get to see a lot of that drive

3249
03:15:27,750 --> 03:15:25,359
people want to do their best people want

3250
03:15:29,349 --> 03:15:27,760
to pull together to be a part of this

3251
03:15:31,840 --> 03:15:29,359
program that's bigger than what any of

3252
03:15:34,309 --> 03:15:31,850
us can accomplish on our own

3253
03:15:35,910 --> 03:15:34,319
[Applause]

3254
03:15:37,269 --> 03:15:35,920
nasa does the trailblazing with

3255
03:15:40,070 --> 03:15:37,279
technology

3256
03:15:41,830 --> 03:15:40,080
the kind of work we do you can't rest on

3257
03:15:43,670 --> 03:15:41,840
your laurels and say okay we're there

3258
03:15:45,750 --> 03:15:43,680
there's no end to what we can achieve so

3259
03:15:47,910 --> 03:15:45,760
we have to keep pushing ourselves and

3260
03:15:50,070 --> 03:15:47,920
any airplane that i get on it's exciting

3261
03:15:52,070 --> 03:15:50,080
to think about oh this airplane probably

3262
03:15:54,550 --> 03:15:52,080
at some point passed through many of our

3263
03:15:56,870 --> 03:15:54,560
centers we are with you when you fly we

3264
03:15:59,110 --> 03:15:56,880
we are coming up with safer newer

3265
03:16:02,229 --> 03:15:59,120
technologies that are more silent more

3266
03:16:05,190 --> 03:16:02,239
energy efficient

3267
03:16:07,349 --> 03:16:05,200

student launch tell us what that

3301
03:17:45,349 --> 03:17:43,359
experience has been like uh at first you

3302
03:17:47,429 --> 03:17:45,359
don't really realize how exciting this

3303
03:17:50,389 --> 03:17:47,439
whole event is and how things are gonna

3304
03:17:52,309 --> 03:17:50,399
go since it is our first year so uh i

3305
03:17:53,990 --> 03:17:52,319
think it's more like in the last within

3306
03:17:56,229 --> 03:17:54,000
the last few weeks or months it's really

3307
03:17:58,070 --> 03:17:56,239
been setting in to where oh my god you

3308
03:18:00,150 --> 03:17:58,080
know we're doing a nasa event so that's

3309
03:18:02,070 --> 03:18:00,160
that's like really cool and we've put in

3310
03:18:05,349 --> 03:18:02,080
just so much hard work on this rocket

3311
03:18:07,030 --> 03:18:05,359
and so much of our time and uh

3312
03:18:09,190 --> 03:18:07,040
it's just been a really awesome and

3313
03:18:11,990 --> 03:18:09,200
crazy experience i

3314
03:18:13,190 --> 03:18:12,000
had tons of fun doing it i mean i'm so

3315
03:18:15,429 --> 03:18:13,200
happy i was

3316
03:18:17,429 --> 03:18:15,439
part of the team and to be able to come

3317
03:18:19,830 --> 03:18:17,439
out here and this is the first year a t

3318
03:18:21,750 --> 03:18:19,840
gets to kind of show its face out here

3319
03:18:24,309 --> 03:18:21,760
and hopefully we do a great fantastic

3320
03:18:26,150 --> 03:18:24,319
job and uh we get invited back uh more

3321
03:18:27,750 --> 03:18:26,160
years after that so you mentioned having

3322
03:18:29,429 --> 03:18:27,760
a lot of fun and a great experience has

3323
03:18:31,269 --> 03:18:29,439
there been anything that has stuck out

3324
03:18:34,630 --> 03:18:31,279
whether it's from the past few months or

3325
03:18:36,070 --> 03:18:34,640
or out here today well i think it's uh

3326
03:18:38,150 --> 03:18:36,080
easy to say that we're all pretty much

3327
03:18:40,550 --> 03:18:38,160
amateur rocket builders so it's all our

3328
03:18:42,790 --> 03:18:40,560
first time really building a rocket so

3329
03:18:45,670 --> 03:18:42,800
there has been so many hurdles and so

3330
03:18:48,070 --> 03:18:45,680
much to learn and experience and trial

3331
03:18:51,030 --> 03:18:48,080
and error trial and error over and over

3332
03:18:52,469 --> 03:18:51,040
again you know but uh honestly i would

3333
03:18:54,790 --> 03:18:52,479
say the hardest part of this whole

3334
03:18:57,349 --> 03:18:54,800
project was really getting those fins 90

3335
03:18:59,590 --> 03:18:57,359
degrees and straight like perfect from

3336
03:19:01,429 --> 03:18:59,600
each other to avoid that spin

3337
03:19:03,750 --> 03:19:01,439
but overall

3338
03:19:06,870 --> 03:19:03,760
we've all had a great time tons of fun

3339
03:19:08,150 --> 03:19:06,880
we're we are so excited to be here

3340
03:19:10,309 --> 03:19:08,160
that's great so tell us about your

3341
03:19:11,990 --> 03:19:10,319
rocket how high you're hoping to fly and

3342
03:19:14,550 --> 03:19:12,000
what your payload is to tackle this

3343
03:19:16,950 --> 03:19:14,560
challenge okay so uh our rocket's about

3344
03:19:19,910 --> 03:19:16,960
nine and a half feet long and we have an

3345
03:19:22,469 --> 03:19:19,920
uh target apogee of 5000 feet

3346
03:19:24,389 --> 03:19:22,479
and uh we're really hoping to hit that

3347
03:19:26,309 --> 03:19:24,399
mark so we could break some nasa records

3348
03:19:29,030 --> 03:19:26,319
today and we've worked so hard to try to

3349
03:19:32,870 --> 03:19:29,040
hit it um as far as the payload

3350
03:19:35,429 --> 03:19:32,880
situation goes uh log unique was our

3351
03:19:37,670 --> 03:19:35,439
avionics payload lead grant little

3352
03:19:39,750 --> 03:19:37,680
little a volunteer he's a

3353
03:19:42,309 --> 03:19:39,760
junior at our school and he's been so

3354
03:19:44,070 --> 03:19:42,319
much so much helpful during this whole

3355
03:19:46,229 --> 03:19:44,080
procedure and uh

3356
03:19:49,030 --> 03:19:46,239
they kind of know about how that works

3357
03:19:50,790 --> 03:19:49,040
so i'm going to give it up to them

3358
03:19:52,790 --> 03:19:50,800
so for the payload we'll be using a

3359
03:19:54,550 --> 03:19:52,800
range finder and then we'll be using a

3360
03:19:56,469 --> 03:19:54,560
yagi antenna for directional finance so

3361
03:19:58,070 --> 03:19:56,479
we'll combine those two to locate our

3362
03:19:59,349 --> 03:19:58,080
rocket

3363
03:20:01,590 --> 03:19:59,359
excellent

3364
03:20:04,469 --> 03:20:01,600
now beautiful rocket awesome paint job

3365
03:20:06,950 --> 03:20:04,479
well what went into to painting it

3366
03:20:08,790 --> 03:20:06,960
honestly man we had a subscale we're

3367
03:20:11,110 --> 03:20:08,800
gonna go launch and it was pretty much

3368
03:20:12,710 --> 03:20:11,120
made of cardboard and fiberglass so

3369
03:20:14,469 --> 03:20:12,720
we're like i'm like man i can't go out

3370
03:20:16,389 --> 03:20:14,479
in the field with a rocket looking like

3371
03:20:18,630 --> 03:20:16,399
this so i was like i got some blue some

3372
03:20:21,110 --> 03:20:18,640
yellow paint that's our school colors

3373
03:20:23,269 --> 03:20:21,120
so i just and my dad is shout out to my

3374
03:20:25,510 --> 03:20:23,279
dad he's a body man too so he does tons

3375
03:20:27,830 --> 03:20:25,520
of paint jobs on cars so i figured a

3376
03:20:29,670 --> 03:20:27,840
nice little fade would be nice on the

3377
03:20:32,229 --> 03:20:29,680
fins and the nose cone and try to keep

3378
03:20:33,349 --> 03:20:32,239
it as clean and simple as possible

3379
03:20:35,030 --> 03:20:33,359
well it looks great i might actually

3380
03:20:37,110 --> 03:20:35,040
have to steal that paint job for uh for

3381
03:20:39,990 --> 03:20:37,120
my pickup truck

3382
03:20:42,389 --> 03:20:40,000
i'm a big fan of it um

3383
03:20:44,550 --> 03:20:42,399
so so yellow mechanical engineering

3384
03:20:45,990 --> 03:20:44,560
majors right and so is it a departmental

3385
03:20:48,950 --> 03:20:46,000
effort for the rocket is that how you

3386
03:20:50,550 --> 03:20:48,960
all became involved uh yes it's so it's

3387
03:20:52,790 --> 03:20:50,560
pretty much the all the seniors from our

3388
03:20:55,269 --> 03:20:52,800
school mechanical engineering department

3389
03:20:57,349 --> 03:20:55,279
are uh split up into groups depending on

3390
03:21:00,150 --> 03:20:57,359
their skill sets and kind of what

3391
03:21:02,150 --> 03:21:00,160
they're interested in and so we have so

3392
03:21:03,990 --> 03:21:02,160
many different projects and groups going

3393
03:21:06,150 --> 03:21:04,000
on and we were lucky enough to get

3394
03:21:07,990 --> 03:21:06,160
picked for this one so aside from all

3395
03:21:09,750 --> 03:21:08,000

3396
03:21:11,429 --> 03:21:09,760

03:24:23,429 --> 03:24:22,080
flight went nominally now

3446
03:24:25,429 --> 03:24:23,439
i've been told uh i've been told that we

3447
03:24:26,550 --> 03:24:25,439
have to talk about the altimeter um so

3448
03:24:29,030 --> 03:24:26,560
you guys you guys have recovered the

3449
03:24:30,630 --> 03:24:29,040
altimeter so do you guys have a a

3450
03:24:32,389 --> 03:24:30,640
a a measure of how high your rocket went

3451
03:24:36,389 --> 03:24:32,399
did you know that yet yeah we had a max

3452
03:24:40,630 --> 03:24:36,399
altitude of 56 77 feet and so that was

3453
03:24:42,070 --> 03:24:40,640
uh 397 feet higher than uh than our

3454
03:24:43,349 --> 03:24:42,080
target goal so we're feeling really good

3455
03:24:44,950 --> 03:24:43,359
about that

3456
03:24:46,389 --> 03:24:44,960
that's not bad at all so you all drove

3457
03:24:48,389 --> 03:24:46,399
down from nashville to do the rocket

3458
03:24:49,990 --> 03:24:48,399
launch yes so but how much before the

3459
03:24:50,870 --> 03:24:50,000
drive down the day before launch how

3460
03:24:52,469 --> 03:24:50,880
long have you been working on this

3461
03:24:55,030 --> 03:24:52,479
rocket

3462
03:24:57,269 --> 03:24:55,040
we started back in august with our

3463
03:24:59,349 --> 03:24:57,279
proposal um brought the team together

3464
03:25:02,710 --> 03:24:59,359
determined our roles and uh

3465
03:25:05,269 --> 03:25:02,720
we've put in 3 500 hours on this project

3466
03:25:07,030 --> 03:25:05,279
as a team uh up to this point

3467
03:25:08,950 --> 03:25:07,040
yeah so that's all your hours as a team

3468
03:25:11,830 --> 03:25:08,960
what about mentors or other people that

3469
03:25:13,830 --> 03:25:11,840
supported y'all yes so

3470
03:25:16,070 --> 03:25:13,840
dr elrod the dean of the college of

3471
03:25:18,150 --> 03:25:16,080
engineering was our advisor uh faculty

3472
03:25:20,389 --> 03:25:18,160
advisor up at lipscomb university mr

3473
03:25:22,710 --> 03:25:20,399
vince hugely we're very grateful to both

3474
03:25:24,710 --> 03:25:22,720
of them mr vince hugely was actually

3475
03:25:28,550 --> 03:25:24,720
involved in this competition in its

3476
03:25:30,150 --> 03:25:28,560
inception um about 20 years ago so we

3477
03:25:30,950 --> 03:25:30,160
got him and we

3478
03:25:32,950 --> 03:25:30,960
were

3479
03:25:34,309 --> 03:25:32,960
so blessed to have him because all that

3480
03:25:36,630 --> 03:25:34,319
experience

3481
03:25:39,349 --> 03:25:36,640
really came in with us we're a very new

3482
03:25:41,030 --> 03:25:39,359
team um most of us have no experience

3483
03:25:44,150 --> 03:25:41,040
with rocketry but we came in we learned

3484
03:25:46,550 --> 03:25:44,160
a lot from them and uh yeah it's so

3485
03:25:50,389 --> 03:25:46,560
great to to come to this point and be

3486
03:25:52,150 --> 03:25:50,399
successful and um get to go home proud

3487
03:25:53,750 --> 03:25:52,160
for for our team and proud for the

3488
03:25:54,870 --> 03:25:53,760
university and do you guys have any

3489
03:25:57,910 --> 03:25:54,880
sponsors that you need to thank or

3490
03:26:00,229 --> 03:25:57,920

03:26:07,670 --> 03:26:05,439
um

3495
03:26:09,990 --> 03:26:07,680

was it tennessee

3497
03:26:14,469 --> 03:26:12,080
space grant consortium as well as

3498
03:26:16,710 --> 03:26:14,479
lipscomb's sga so we couldn't have done

3499
03:26:19,110 --> 03:26:16,720
this without them so we appreciate that

3500
03:26:20,710 --> 03:26:19,120

guys are from somewhere in florida i'm

3509
03:28:27,670 --> 03:28:26,080
not sure exactly where they're from

3510
03:28:29,349 --> 03:28:27,680
just kidding for university of florida

3511
03:28:31,830 --> 03:28:29,359
i'll let you introduce yourself

3512
03:28:34,790 --> 03:28:31,840
my name is megan winneck i'm a third

3513
03:28:36,070 --> 03:28:34,800
year aerospace engineering student

3514
03:28:37,269 --> 03:28:36,080
introduce everybody else no i'm just

3515
03:28:38,550 --> 03:28:37,279
kidding

3516
03:28:40,150 --> 03:28:38,560
these guys have already flown what's the

3517
03:28:42,150 --> 03:28:40,160
nickname of your rocket rocket's name is

3518
03:28:43,429 --> 03:28:42,160
alberta which is the mascot of the

3519
03:28:46,550 --> 03:28:43,439
gators we have albert alberta are the

3520
03:28:47,990 --> 03:28:46,560
two gators so it's alberta

3521
03:28:49,269 --> 03:28:48,000
okay well i was just thinking in my head

3522
03:28:50,229 --> 03:28:49,279
so i'm not ready for a question but i

3523
03:28:52,229 --> 03:28:50,239
called her

3524
03:28:54,309 --> 03:28:52,239
alberta yesterday instead of the rockets

3525
03:28:57,269 --> 03:28:54,319
rocket is alberta she is megan i just

3526
03:28:59,429 --> 03:28:57,279
want to make that clear

3527
03:29:01,269 --> 03:28:59,439
so yeah so your paint job is was was

3528
03:29:03,190 --> 03:29:01,279
fairly uh was fairly basic was did you

3529
03:29:04,550 --> 03:29:03,200
guys have just is this uh is this a

3530
03:29:06,469 --> 03:29:04,560
specific kind of paint or this looks

3531
03:29:08,950 --> 03:29:06,479
like it's textured somehow right yes so

3532
03:29:10,870 --> 03:29:08,960
actually a kind of interesting feature

3533
03:29:13,429 --> 03:29:10,880
so our original paint job was very very

3534
03:29:15,349 --> 03:29:13,439
shiny and sleek and then our altitude

3535
03:29:16,950 --> 03:29:15,359
was too high and we had to come up with

3536
03:29:18,630 --> 03:29:16,960
a way to bring down our altitude without

3537
03:29:19,910 --> 03:29:18,640
really modifying our rocket because we

3538
03:29:22,150 --> 03:29:19,920
were too late in the competition to do

3539
03:29:24,229 --> 03:29:22,160
that so we actually emailed the nasa

3540
03:29:26,389 --> 03:29:24,239
board and said does paint count can we

3541
03:29:28,309 --> 03:29:26,399
just add paint to increase the weight

3542
03:29:30,870 --> 03:29:28,319
and the coefficient of drag and they

3543
03:29:33,670 --> 03:29:30,880
said yes so we've got some more like

3544
03:29:34,710 --> 03:29:33,680
textured there's like eight coats of

3545
03:29:36,870 --> 03:29:34,720
paint

3546
03:29:39,510 --> 03:29:36,880
on this and that was able to bring the

3547
03:29:40,950 --> 03:29:39,520
altitude down almost 300 feet

3548
03:29:43,110 --> 03:29:40,960
nice so how many inches of paint did you

3549
03:29:44,229 --> 03:29:43,120
have did you put on it to bring down i

3550
03:29:45,750 --> 03:29:44,239
don't know about inches i just know

3551
03:29:47,110 --> 03:29:45,760
about coats

3552
03:29:48,389 --> 03:29:47,120
nice and what was your do you know your

3553
03:29:50,070 --> 03:29:48,399
altitude have you guys have you guys got

3554
03:29:52,630 --> 03:29:50,080
the measurement yet

3555
03:29:54,150 --> 03:29:52,640
four six uh four seven six eight yeah

3556
03:29:55,590 --> 03:29:54,160
yes thousand seven hundred sixty eight

3557
03:29:56,990 --> 03:29:55,600
okay good awesome what was your what was

3558
03:29:59,830 --> 03:29:57,000
your target what did you call we were

3559
03:30:01,269 --> 03:29:59,840
190 degrees off so

3560
03:30:03,269 --> 03:30:01,279
uh feet

3561
03:30:05,590 --> 03:30:03,279
degrees feet yeah so

3562
03:30:08,870 --> 03:30:05,600
four thousand five hundred and

3563
03:30:10,389 --> 03:30:08,880
seventy eight was the um target yeah

3564
03:30:14,790 --> 03:30:10,399
so how many members of your team are

3565
03:30:17,110 --> 03:30:14,800
here to live we've got 19 19 here

3566
03:30:18,870 --> 03:30:17,120

engineering department yeah

3573
03:30:44,110 --> 03:30:29,120
well congratulations guys

3574
03:32:33,750 --> 03:31:14,330

03:32:40,469 --> 03:32:38,640
celebrating a milestone here right this

3578
03:32:43,030 --> 03:32:40,479
is your 10th year here correct yeah we

3579
03:32:44,950 --> 03:32:43,040
started in 2013 uh we're now 10 years in

3580
03:32:47,030 --> 03:32:44,960
we started with a group of uh six

3581
03:32:49,110 --> 03:32:47,040
members just doing it for fun um out of

3582
03:32:51,830 --> 03:32:49,120
their dorm room or a closet and now

3583
03:32:54,710 --> 03:32:51,840
we're at 40 almost working out of a full

3584
03:32:56,070 --> 03:32:54,720
lab 28 of us here today nice nice and

3585
03:32:57,990 --> 03:32:56,080
introduce yourself if you don't mind uh

3586
03:32:59,429 --> 03:32:58,000
my name is jake shapiro i'm our project

3587
03:33:00,710 --> 03:32:59,439
manager this year i'm a senior

3588
03:33:02,389 --> 03:33:00,720
mechanical engineer at the university of

3589
03:33:04,469 --> 03:33:02,399
notre dame now you guys have not flown

3590
03:33:06,389 --> 03:33:04,479
yet right we haven't flown yet today but

3591
03:33:08,389 --> 03:33:06,399
this rocket itself has flown three times

3592
03:33:09,990 --> 03:33:08,399
okay right okay so good um so what are

3593
03:33:12,309 --> 03:33:10,000
what's your target altitude for today uh

3594
03:33:13,990 --> 03:33:12,319
we're targeting 4 800. um our we have an

3595
03:33:17,190 --> 03:33:14,000
apigee control system that should be

3596
03:33:19,349 --> 03:33:17,200
able to reduce our apogee by 400 to 600

3597
03:33:21,349 --> 03:33:19,359
feet we hope um so we've been testing

3598
03:33:22,710 --> 03:33:21,359
that all year but we'll overshoot that

3599
03:33:24,229 --> 03:33:22,720
and try to bring it down with some flu

3600
03:33:25,990 --> 03:33:24,239
actuated flaps

3601
03:33:27,110 --> 03:33:26,000
and have you guys tested anything

3602
03:33:28,870 --> 03:33:27,120
anything close to these winds that

3603
03:33:30,469 --> 03:33:28,880
you're experiencing today at all um yeah

3604
03:33:31,990 --> 03:33:30,479
so we're at the university of notre dame

3605
03:33:33,990 --> 03:33:32,000
northern indiana so we've been battling

3606
03:33:35,750 --> 03:33:34,000
weather all year we pretty much have

3607
03:33:37,910 --> 03:33:35,760
high winds and cold temperatures every

3608
03:33:39,269 --> 03:33:37,920
time we're here so high winds are normal

3609
03:33:40,550 --> 03:33:39,279
for us but we love the warm weather

3610
03:33:43,030 --> 03:33:40,560
today

3611
03:33:45,990 --> 03:33:43,040
so i hear you guys want to send out a

3612
03:33:49,670 --> 03:33:46,000
special thanks to someone or some

throughout the year every year

3625
03:34:16,389 --> 03:34:15,120
your paint job is absolutely beautiful

3626
03:34:18,389 --> 03:34:16,399
is someone on the team responsible for

3627
03:34:20,630 --> 03:34:18,399

professional

3631
03:34:28,550 --> 03:34:26,800
paint shop near us and got it done um we

3632
03:34:30,150 --> 03:34:28,560
really love the carbon fiber clear coat

3633
03:34:31,510 --> 03:34:30,160
so we decided to stick with that this

3634
03:34:32,710 --> 03:34:31,520
year along with our normal school colors

3635
03:34:34,550 --> 03:34:32,720
of blue and gold

i'm just kidding uh introduce yourselves

3648
03:36:29,670 --> 03:36:28,560
i'm cindy belkey i'm the project manager

3649
03:36:31,269 --> 03:36:29,680
of team prometheus here at the

3650
03:36:32,550 --> 03:36:31,279
university of alabama i'm a sophomore

3651
03:36:34,469 --> 03:36:32,560
pursuing aerospace engineering and

3652
03:36:36,790 --> 03:36:34,479
mechanics awesome my name is daniel

3653
03:36:38,550 --> 03:36:36,800
perrato i'm a sophomore pursuing a major

3654
03:36:40,070 --> 03:36:38,560
in mechanical engineering and i'm the

3655
03:36:41,429 --> 03:36:40,080
chief engineer a safety officer for the

3656
03:36:42,950 --> 03:36:41,439
team prometheus at the university of

3657
03:36:43,910 --> 03:36:42,960
alabama well tell us a little bit about

3658
03:36:46,710 --> 03:36:43,920
your rocket

3659
03:36:49,990 --> 03:36:46,720
well our rocket is um

3660
03:36:52,150 --> 03:36:50,000
a little over 10 feet it is um

3661
03:36:53,510 --> 03:36:52,160
we have worked on it since august um and

3662
03:36:55,830 --> 03:36:53,520
technically we had a subscale and now

3663
03:36:57,670 --> 03:36:55,840
it's a full scale um

3664
03:36:58,790 --> 03:36:57,680
i'll let him talk about the like

3665
03:37:00,950 --> 03:36:58,800
technical aspects of it and then i'll

3666
03:37:02,710 --> 03:37:00,960
talk about our journey awesome so the

3667
03:37:05,269 --> 03:37:02,720
rocket basically has about ten and a

3668
03:37:07,269 --> 03:37:05,279
half feet of height it's about six

3669
03:37:09,750 --> 03:37:07,279
inches of diameter and we're flying with

3670
03:37:11,750 --> 03:37:09,760
a l1940 motor

3671
03:37:14,070 --> 03:37:11,760
our main goal is to determine our

3672
03:37:16,469 --> 03:37:14,080
location utilizing grid squares through

3673
03:37:18,229 --> 03:37:16,479
a camera located in this payload door

3674
03:37:19,429 --> 03:37:18,239
and basically based on pictures that are

3675
03:37:21,670 --> 03:37:19,439
taken after the main parachute

3676
03:37:22,870 --> 03:37:21,680
deployment we should be able to compare

3677
03:37:24,309 --> 03:37:22,880
these pictures with

3678
03:37:25,750 --> 03:37:24,319
the images that are stored on board and

3679
03:37:28,389 --> 03:37:25,760
utilize machine learning to be able to

3680
03:37:30,550 --> 03:37:28,399
compare them and finally identify

3681
03:37:33,750 --> 03:37:30,560
our location we're actually able to have

3682
03:37:35,429 --> 03:37:33,760
a pretty precise uh result on our last

3683
03:37:36,710 --> 03:37:35,439
pillow demonstration flight so we're

3684
03:37:39,830 --> 03:37:36,720
really confident that we will have a

3685
03:37:41,990 --> 03:37:39,840
great success on this launch

3686
03:37:43,349 --> 03:37:42,000
so we started off in august with a team

3687
03:37:44,710 --> 03:37:43,359
that was consisted of major league

3688
03:37:47,349 --> 03:37:44,720
people who were very fresh at rocketry

3689
03:37:49,030 --> 03:37:47,359
including myself and um over the course

3690
03:37:50,630 --> 03:37:49,040
of two semesters we've had four lot this

3691
03:37:52,309 --> 03:37:50,640
is our fourth launch we have launched

3692
03:37:54,550 --> 03:37:52,319
once in huntsville and twice in samson

3693
03:37:56,710 --> 03:37:54,560
alabama and progressively i think the

3694
03:37:58,710 --> 03:37:56,720
team has made you know

3695
03:38:00,389 --> 03:37:58,720
we've made some phenomenal progress um

3696
03:38:02,950 --> 03:38:00,399
and i'm very proud of my team we're

3697
03:38:04,389 --> 03:38:02,960
about 30 members um and we're so excited

3698
03:38:05,510 --> 03:38:04,399
to have our final launch here so we're

3699
03:38:07,990 --> 03:38:05,520
all tied

3700
03:38:09,510 --> 03:38:08,000
all right exactly great so um what i

3701
03:38:11,990 --> 03:38:09,520
really want to know you guys have been

3702
03:38:14,550 --> 03:38:12,000
here before right so this is nothing new

3703
03:38:16,710 --> 03:38:14,560
to you but tell me about some of the

3704
03:38:18,469 --> 03:38:16,720
best experiences you've had so far with

3705
03:38:19,990 --> 03:38:18,479
student launch this year

3706
03:38:21,990 --> 03:38:20,000
well the first time we competed in

3707
03:38:23,990 --> 03:38:22,000
student launch was an um was not this

3708
03:38:25,750 --> 03:38:24,000
team it was a previous team back in 2016

3709
03:38:27,349 --> 03:38:25,760
called rocket girls okay um so we

3710
03:38:29,429 --> 03:38:27,359
derived information from them but as i

3711
03:38:32,150 --> 03:38:29,439
mentioned uh we're all like first time

3712
03:38:33,750 --> 03:38:32,160
like rocketry amateurs in rocketry but

3713
03:38:35,590 --> 03:38:33,760
uh we've had a

3714
03:38:38,070 --> 03:38:35,600
fun learning experience i would say it's

3715
03:38:39,830 --> 03:38:38,080
nothing short of incredible um and we've

3716
03:38:42,389 --> 03:38:39,840
had some trials and tribulations of

3717
03:38:45,189 --> 03:38:42,399
course but we emerged from them stronger

3718
03:38:47,910 --> 03:38:45,199
than ever awesome what kind of awards

3719
03:38:50,150 --> 03:38:47,920
are you guys trying to achieve this year

3720
03:38:51,750 --> 03:38:50,160
with student launch

3721
03:38:53,510 --> 03:38:51,760
um there's a bunch that we were

3722
03:38:56,630 --> 03:38:53,520
targeting but for the most part we love

3723
03:38:57,750 --> 03:38:56,640
the 3d printing award that

3724
03:39:00,469 --> 03:38:57,760
relatively

3725
03:39:02,790 --> 03:39:00,479
relativity space has um and yeah we've

3726
03:39:04,150 --> 03:39:02,800
had some pretty cool three printed parts

3727
03:39:05,590 --> 03:39:04,160
um in the

3728
03:39:07,429 --> 03:39:05,600
um

3729
03:39:09,830 --> 03:39:07,439
in the inside of the rocket including

3730
03:39:11,030 --> 03:39:09,840
our payload so yeah okay very good can

3731
03:39:12,790 --> 03:39:11,040
you tell us a little bit about what's 3d

3732
03:39:15,670 --> 03:39:12,800
printed yeah um i would like my chief

3733
03:39:17,189 --> 03:39:15,680
engineer take over sure so um mostly on

3734
03:39:18,790 --> 03:39:17,199
the port server 3d printed in our rocket

3735
03:39:21,510 --> 03:39:18,800
are the avionics bay

3736
03:39:24,309 --> 03:39:21,520
and the payload retention retention

3737
03:39:26,550 --> 03:39:24,319
system and the payload bay itself

3738
03:39:28,229 --> 03:39:26,560
we really love this kind of sort of

3739
03:39:29,910 --> 03:39:28,239
designing method because it allows us

3740
03:39:31,990 --> 03:39:29,920
for rapid prototyping

3741
03:39:34,550 --> 03:39:32,000
so as we would be able to identify

3742
03:39:36,550 --> 03:39:34,560
failure points on our on design we were

3743
03:39:38,550 --> 03:39:36,560
able to wrap it rapidly

3744
03:39:40,950 --> 03:39:38,560
create a new part and also have that

3745
03:39:43,510 --> 03:39:40,960
part done by the next day as it is

3746
03:39:45,429 --> 03:39:43,520
printing overnight in our laboratory

3747
03:39:47,429 --> 03:39:45,439
we've had a lot of members in our club

3748
03:39:49,110 --> 03:39:47,439
that are very experienced with 3d

3749
03:39:50,950 --> 03:39:49,120
printing and we're more than happy to

3750
03:39:52,150 --> 03:39:50,960
have them supporting our team

3751
03:39:54,870 --> 03:39:52,160
excellent do you guys have anybody you

03:42:16,229 --> 03:42:14,640
rocket it looks like you guys have

3806
03:42:18,630 --> 03:42:16,239
signed a little bit of it too are they

3807
03:42:20,550 --> 03:42:18,640
yeah so um we've done two launches so

3808
03:42:22,870 --> 03:42:20,560
far we signed them

3809
03:42:25,110 --> 03:42:22,880
all on our first launch our sponsors are

3810
03:42:26,950 --> 03:42:25,120
down here it's our aerospace department

3811
03:42:30,150 --> 03:42:26,960
the student engineers council at our

3812
03:42:32,710 --> 03:42:30,160
school collins airspace and um our whole

3813
03:42:35,110 --> 03:42:32,720
team back home there's about 50 of us

3814
03:42:37,349 --> 03:42:35,120
has also signed our whole rocket

3815
03:42:39,030 --> 03:42:37,359
and uh what what does you guys have not

3816
03:42:41,590 --> 03:42:39,040
flown yet right you're on your way so uh

3817
03:42:43,110 --> 03:42:41,600
what is your target altitude 50 250

3818
03:42:44,950 --> 03:42:43,120
right yep

3819
03:42:46,790 --> 03:42:44,960
you guys in your previous slideshow

3820
03:42:48,389 --> 03:42:46,800
coming close to that yes um our first

3821
03:42:50,469 --> 03:42:48,399
flight we were actually only nine feet

3822
03:42:52,870 --> 03:42:50,479
off the target apogees and we were super

3823
03:42:54,950 --> 03:42:52,880
excited about that

3824
03:42:56,950 --> 03:42:54,960
yep in our second flight we were 83 feet

3825
03:42:58,950 --> 03:42:56,960
off apogee so we have a good range that

3826
03:43:01,349 --> 03:42:58,960
we think we can narrow down with this

3827
03:43:03,670 --> 03:43:01,359
flight we did a bunch of pre-flight

3828
03:43:05,349 --> 03:43:03,680
analysis yesterday and this morning

3829
03:43:06,469 --> 03:43:05,359
based on wind conditions to try and get

3830
03:43:08,309 --> 03:43:06,479
the optimal

3831
03:43:09,670 --> 03:43:08,319
launch angle and just make sure that all

3832
03:43:10,870 --> 03:43:09,680
our mass estimates and everything was

3833
03:43:12,150 --> 03:43:10,880
accurate

3834
03:43:13,349 --> 03:43:12,160
and uh talk about your payload a little

3835
03:43:14,950 --> 03:43:13,359
bit what's your payload

3836
03:43:17,429 --> 03:43:14,960
like i'll tell you yeah

3837
03:43:19,110 --> 03:43:17,439
so our payload uses an imu

3838
03:43:20,469 --> 03:43:19,120
on an arduino and basically it takes the

3839
03:43:22,309 --> 03:43:20,479
inertial measurements

3840
03:43:23,670 --> 03:43:22,319
from the rocket as it goes up and it

3841
03:43:25,590 --> 03:43:23,680
uses a bunch of integration and

3842
03:43:27,750 --> 03:43:25,600
numerical methods to kind of

3843
03:43:29,750 --> 03:43:27,760
in real time integrate over time the

3844
03:43:31,110 --> 03:43:29,760
position or integrate the acceleration

3845
03:43:33,189 --> 03:43:31,120
to obtain

3846
03:43:35,349 --> 03:43:33,199
position and then on that we get a real

3847
03:43:37,110 --> 03:43:35,359
flight map of the ground track and we're

3848
03:43:39,110 --> 03:43:37,120
going to fuse that over the gridded map

3849
03:43:41,990 --> 03:43:39,120
of the launch site

3850
03:43:44,469 --> 03:43:42,000
so talk to me about what has been most

3851
03:43:46,870 --> 03:43:44,479
challenging this year for you all as

3852
03:43:49,429 --> 03:43:46,880
you've built your rocket and as you've

3853
03:43:51,269 --> 03:43:49,439
been here and launched already yes so

3854
03:43:53,670 --> 03:43:51,279
one of the biggest things that was hard

3855
03:43:55,990 --> 03:43:53,680
starting out is uh the past few years

3856
03:43:57,830 --> 03:43:56,000
with kovid has really hurt the team so

3857
03:43:59,429 --> 03:43:57,840
this year sarah and i have really and

3858
03:44:01,590 --> 03:43:59,439
mim have really put in a lot of effort

3859
03:44:03,830 --> 03:44:01,600
to rebuild the team and kind of

3860
03:44:06,070 --> 03:44:03,840
reorient it and reorganize it so we can

3861
03:44:07,910 --> 03:44:06,080
be more efficient and we've seen that in

3862
03:44:09,830 --> 03:44:07,920
our and how we've done on all of our

3863
03:44:11,910 --> 03:44:09,840
progress reports we've been improving

3864
03:44:13,510 --> 03:44:11,920
every time so i think we've been doing

3865
03:44:15,269 --> 03:44:13,520
very well with that and as for the

3866
03:44:17,269 --> 03:44:15,279
rocket the biggest issues that we've

3867
03:44:19,510 --> 03:44:17,279
come across is just manufacturers and

3868
03:44:21,429 --> 03:44:19,520
shipping time i know for our sub skill

3869
03:44:22,950 --> 03:44:21,439
rocket we ordered over a month in

3870
03:44:25,590 --> 03:44:22,960
advance and we weren't getting parts

3871
03:44:27,429 --> 03:44:25,600
until the week before we had to launch

3872
03:44:29,110 --> 03:44:27,439
which was right before winter break and

3873
03:44:30,630 --> 03:44:29,120
right and then the only launch window

3874
03:44:33,670 --> 03:44:30,640
after that was

3875
03:44:35,830 --> 03:44:33,680
christmas eve and new year's eve so we

3876
03:44:38,150 --> 03:44:35,840
didn't want to do that so it was a real

3877
03:44:39,750 --> 03:44:38,160
big time crunch for us but besides that

3878
03:44:41,990 --> 03:44:39,760
i mean we also had issues with

3879
03:44:43,189 --> 03:44:42,000
manufacturers and shipping times for

3880
03:44:44,790 --> 03:44:43,199
this rocket

3881
03:44:46,469 --> 03:44:44,800
i know that the nose cone was ordered

3882
03:44:48,150 --> 03:44:46,479
over a month in advance and came very

3883
03:44:49,990 --> 03:44:48,160
late so we actually ordered two of them

3884
03:44:52,469 --> 03:44:50,000
and they came in on the same day

3885
03:44:53,910 --> 03:44:52,479
so wow

3886
03:44:56,150 --> 03:44:53,920
yeah so that's probably been our biggest

3887
03:44:57,910 --> 03:44:56,160
struggles this year

3888
03:44:59,429 --> 03:44:57,920
do you guys need to have any sponsors

3889
03:45:02,150 --> 03:44:59,439
you need to thank or anything

3890
03:45:03,670 --> 03:45:02,160
yep so um actually handles our handles

3891
03:45:05,429 --> 03:45:03,680
our sponsors hey guys so we'd like to

3892
03:45:07,189 --> 03:45:05,439
thank of course the department uh our

3893
03:45:09,349 --> 03:45:07,199
one of our professors pat ardis is here

3894
03:45:11,030 --> 03:45:09,359
he's a great help to us along with bob

3895
03:45:11,990 --> 03:45:11,040
also our second biggest sponsor is then

3896
03:45:13,269 --> 03:45:12,000
going to be the student engineers

3897
03:45:14,309 --> 03:45:13,279
council which i was a part of they gave

3898
03:45:15,990 --> 03:45:14,319
a lot of money and they actually helped

3899
03:45:17,429 --> 03:45:16,000
us travel all the way down here and in

3900
03:45:18,630 --> 03:45:17,439
collins aerospace we want to shout out

3901
03:45:20,389 --> 03:45:18,640
to brianna simpson who's probably

3902
03:45:22,309 --> 03:45:20,399
watching right now she's helped us out a

3903
03:45:23,670 --> 03:45:22,319
lot this year and she really made sure

3904
03:45:25,269 --> 03:45:23,680
that she worked with us and did a lot of

3905
03:45:26,710 --> 03:45:25,279
events even for outreach to make sure

3906
03:45:29,349 --> 03:45:26,720
that this rocket was fully built and we

3907
03:45:31,269 --> 03:45:29,359
were ready for huntsville

3908
03:45:32,870 --> 03:45:31,279
well i can tell that you guys are really

3909
03:45:35,670 --> 03:45:32,880
hard working despite any of the

3910
03:45:37,349 --> 03:45:35,680
challenges that you face uh good luck to

3911
03:45:39,189 --> 03:45:37,359
you guys and thanks so much for being

3912
03:45:41,429 --> 03:45:39,199
here

3913
03:45:42,460 --> 03:45:41,439
all right have a good weekend yeah let's

3914
03:45:56,000 --> 03:45:42,470
go

3915
03:47:44,950 --> 03:46:14,420
[Music]

3916
03:47:47,910 --> 03:47:46,309
all right so we're back again at uh

3917
03:47:49,189 --> 03:47:47,920
student launch and this is a team this

3918
03:47:50,550 --> 03:47:49,199
is from umass they've already flown

3919
03:47:51,830 --> 03:47:50,560
today uh i don't know if you can tell

3920
03:47:53,189 --> 03:47:51,840
that but that's because they're you know

3921
03:47:54,309 --> 03:47:53,199
because their rocket is in pieces that's

3922
03:47:55,910 --> 03:47:54,319
not you know that's because they have

3923
03:47:58,309 --> 03:47:55,920
flown um i'll let you guys introduce

3924
03:47:59,590 --> 03:47:58,319
yourself sure my name is max flair

3925
03:48:01,189 --> 03:47:59,600
i'm ian

3926
03:48:02,309 --> 03:48:01,199
i'm calista

3927
03:48:04,389 --> 03:48:02,319
phillip

3928
03:48:05,830 --> 03:48:04,399
i'm liam right there but you know that's

3929
03:48:07,110 --> 03:48:05,840
okay

3930
03:48:09,269 --> 03:48:07,120
so tell us about your flight how did it

3931
03:48:10,870 --> 03:48:09,279
go uh we think it went really well um it

3932
03:48:13,269 --> 03:48:10,880
was a good flight all the recovery

3933
03:48:15,269 --> 03:48:13,279
events deployed correctly um and that's

3934
03:48:17,990 --> 03:48:15,279
really the name of the game so is that

3935
03:48:20,070 --> 03:48:18,000
your altimeter it is how'd you do

3936
03:48:21,830 --> 03:48:20,080
uh pretty good uh we reached an altitude

3937
03:48:23,750 --> 03:48:21,840
of about seven or four thousand nine

3938
03:48:24,870 --> 03:48:23,760
hundred feet um a little bit off of our

3939
03:48:26,469 --> 03:48:24,880
target but we're really happy with the

3940
03:48:28,870 --> 03:48:26,479
flight profile and uh it was a beautiful

3941
03:48:30,550 --> 03:48:28,880
flight and our payload our payload was

3942
03:48:32,229 --> 03:48:30,560
able to give us a coordinate on our grid

3943
03:48:34,469 --> 03:48:32,239
system so we're quite happy about that

3944
03:48:36,630 --> 03:48:34,479
good good deal now i'm supposed to ask

3945
03:48:38,389 --> 03:48:36,640
about uh some of the some of the trials

3946
03:48:39,830 --> 03:48:38,399
and tribulations you guys had getting to

3947
03:48:42,150 --> 03:48:39,840
this launch today apparently you guys

3948
03:48:43,189 --> 03:48:42,160
had some some fun challenges with one of

3949
03:48:44,870 --> 03:48:43,199
your other launches can you want to tell

3950
03:48:46,870 --> 03:48:44,880
us about that oh yeah we have actually

3951
03:48:48,710 --> 03:48:46,880
two launches uh

3952
03:48:51,429 --> 03:48:48,720
that led to the point uh the first

3953
03:48:52,950 --> 03:48:51,439
launch was up in saint albans vermont um

3954
03:48:54,309 --> 03:48:52,960
back in february so the ground was

3955
03:48:56,389 --> 03:48:54,319
completely frozen

3956
03:48:58,150 --> 03:48:56,399
we launched just under the threshold of

3957
03:48:59,750 --> 03:48:58,160
the uh the wind cap where we'd have to

3958
03:49:02,070 --> 03:48:59,760
scrub um

3959
03:49:05,510 --> 03:49:02,080
and rocket was flight was beautiful

3960
03:49:08,150 --> 03:49:05,520
deployed correctly uh landed and uh the

3961
03:49:09,590 --> 03:49:08,160
main parachute was picked up by the wind

3962
03:49:10,950 --> 03:49:09,600
and dragged the whole rocket about a

3963
03:49:13,269 --> 03:49:10,960
quarter mile through this frozen

3964
03:49:16,469 --> 03:49:13,279
cornfield uh totally shredding the

3965
03:49:18,550 --> 03:49:16,479
rocket uh body there in the whole body

3966
03:49:20,389 --> 03:49:18,560
the whole body was gone and like we had

3967
03:49:22,550 --> 03:49:20,399
to rebuild from that we called it the

3968
03:49:24,309 --> 03:49:22,560
nantucket sleigh ride based off an old

3969
03:49:26,229 --> 03:49:24,319
whaling term because that's when the

3970
03:49:28,229 --> 03:49:26,239
boat got dragged by the whale and it got

3971
03:49:30,630 --> 03:49:28,239
all damaged so we had to rebuild the

3972
03:49:32,309 --> 03:49:30,640
rocket again with phenolic tubing that

3973
03:49:33,269 --> 03:49:32,319
didn't go too well because in the next

3974
03:49:35,269 --> 03:49:33,279
launch

3975
03:49:37,670 --> 03:49:35,279
it landed and snapped right in half just

3976
03:49:39,030 --> 03:49:37,680
because yeah just bad material right

3977
03:49:40,309 --> 03:49:39,040
there and i was about to ask if this was

3978
03:49:42,630 --> 03:49:40,319
mark two but this is mark three then

3979
03:49:44,630 --> 03:49:42,640
mark three yeah and we we joke it's

3980
03:49:46,389 --> 03:49:44,640
named argo off after jason and the

3981
03:49:47,830 --> 03:49:46,399
argonauts but we say it's more like ship

3982
03:49:50,389 --> 03:49:47,840
of theseus because we keep changing

3983
03:49:51,590 --> 03:49:50,399
parts on it so is it the same rocket i

3984
03:49:52,469 --> 03:49:51,600
don't know it's good

3985
03:49:53,910 --> 03:49:52,479
nice

3986
03:49:55,590 --> 03:49:53,920
well at least you know your your

3987
03:49:58,150 --> 03:49:55,600
mythology i guess that's true there you

3988
03:49:59,189 --> 03:49:58,160
go so um good deal uh i'm supposed to

3989
03:50:00,950 --> 03:49:59,199
ask you about the clementines though

3990
03:50:02,469 --> 03:50:00,960
what's to tell us your clementine story

3991
03:50:04,389 --> 03:50:02,479
uh liam probably the best one to ask

3992
03:50:06,870 --> 03:50:04,399
about that so uh one of the big staples

3993
03:50:08,630 --> 03:50:06,880
of our team and tradition is that uh

3994
03:50:10,550 --> 03:50:08,640
every year we try to eat citrus before

3995
03:50:12,710 --> 03:50:10,560
launch and that's because uh one year

3996
03:50:14,309 --> 03:50:12,720
when we went up to saint albans vermont

3997
03:50:16,070 --> 03:50:14,319
a group of our

3998
03:50:17,269 --> 03:50:16,080
members had the rocket motors and black

3999
03:50:18,950 --> 03:50:17,279
powder in their car and they

4000
03:50:21,830 --> 03:50:18,960
accidentally went over to the border to

4001
03:50:23,590 --> 03:50:21,840
canada and they got stopped and the only

4002
03:50:25,189 --> 03:50:23,600
thing that they removed from that car

4003
03:50:26,550 --> 03:50:25,199
was their clementines not any of the

4004
03:50:28,150 --> 03:50:26,560
explosives

4005
03:50:30,070 --> 03:50:28,160
so you know ever since then it's just

4006
03:50:32,070 --> 03:50:30,080
been part of our tradition to eat one

4007
03:50:34,870 --> 03:50:32,080
that's awesome did you bring clementines

4008
03:50:39,750 --> 03:50:37,590
oh man okay so with all the challenges

4009
03:50:41,349 --> 03:50:39,760
that you guys have had uh talk to us

4010
03:50:42,950 --> 03:50:41,359
about some of the awards that you're

4011
03:50:45,670 --> 03:50:42,960
targeting this year

4012
03:50:48,070 --> 03:50:45,680
uh obviously we tried our hardest at the

4013
03:50:49,590 --> 03:50:48,080
altitude of payload but one award that

4014
03:50:51,670 --> 03:50:49,600
we really think we have a shot at is the

4015
03:50:53,830 --> 03:50:51,680
3d printing award which is new this year

4016
03:50:56,229 --> 03:50:53,840
because we have a fully 3d printed

4017
03:50:58,710 --> 03:50:56,239
avionics bay as you can see there we

4018
03:51:01,510 --> 03:50:58,720
also have a 3d printed camera mount for

4019
03:51:03,750 --> 03:51:01,520
our secondary payload and we also have

4020
03:51:06,309 --> 03:51:03,760
our full payload is has a 3d printed

4021
03:51:07,830 --> 03:51:06,319
housing and electronic system so

4022
03:51:10,550 --> 03:51:07,840
we think we have a good shot on that

4023
03:51:11,510 --> 03:51:10,560

4050
03:56:00,070 --> 03:55:57,760
guys were in the first the the first

4051
03:56:01,349 --> 03:56:00,080
flight right or the yes how did it go it

4052
03:56:03,750 --> 03:56:01,359
went really well we're very pleased with

4053
03:56:05,429 --> 03:56:03,760
the flight super stable our parachute

4054
03:56:07,429 --> 03:56:05,439
one of our shock cords got twisted

4055
03:56:08,389 --> 03:56:07,439
around one of the shroud lines so it had

4056
03:56:10,870 --> 03:56:08,399
this weird

4057
03:56:12,469 --> 03:56:10,880
half inflated half deflated look to it

4058
03:56:14,229 --> 03:56:12,479
but it was big enough and had a high

4059
03:56:16,150 --> 03:56:14,239
enough drag to get us a comfortable soft

4060
03:56:17,670 --> 03:56:16,160
landing uh our communications

4061
03:56:19,830 --> 03:56:17,680
unfortunately died for our scientific

4062
03:56:21,349 --> 03:56:19,840
payload uh battery

4063
03:56:22,550 --> 03:56:21,359
just didn't work for us it worked when

4064
03:56:24,389 --> 03:56:22,560
we checked it and then it didn't work

4065
03:56:26,150 --> 03:56:24,399
when it flew so we didn't get anything

4066
03:56:27,189 --> 03:56:26,160
from that unfortunately but we get to

4067
03:56:28,790 --> 03:56:27,199
take the rocket home and we got to be

4068
03:56:30,630 --> 03:56:28,800
very proud of it that's exactly right

4069
03:56:33,349 --> 03:56:30,640

03:59:25,349 --> 03:59:23,760
of different things about each other and

4153
03:59:26,710 --> 03:59:25,359

4154
03:59:28,070 --> 03:59:26,720
all fit in and what we all could do

4155
03:59:29,510 --> 03:59:28,080

4188
04:01:47,269 --> 04:01:45,040
i have to fess up for a second this is

4189
04:01:49,110 --> 04:01:47,279
my first year uh at the student lounge

4190
04:01:50,950 --> 04:01:49,120
tell me about the shirts because

4191
04:01:52,389 --> 04:01:50,960
they're a little conspicuous of course

4192
04:01:54,710 --> 04:01:52,399
this is this is actually a long-running

4193
04:01:56,710 --> 04:01:54,720
tradition about five years back the team

4194
04:01:58,950 --> 04:01:56,720
decided to do hawaiian shirts and then

4195
04:02:01,990 --> 04:01:58,960
the next year we got uh custom shirts

4196
04:02:03,670 --> 04:02:02,000
with like little insignias patched on uh

4197
04:02:05,670 --> 04:02:03,680
and it's just uh everyone always

4198
04:02:07,510 --> 04:02:05,680
comments on the shirts so we keep can

4199
04:02:10,150 --> 04:02:07,520
keep doing it i feel either under or

4200
04:02:11,910 --> 04:02:10,160
overdressed i'm not sure which d we just

4201
04:02:13,110 --> 04:02:11,920
got to request a shirt i guess i guess

4202
04:02:15,429 --> 04:02:13,120
that's it i guess that's it so tell us

4203
04:02:17,269 --> 04:02:15,439
about your rocket oh sure well it's it's

4204
04:02:21,189 --> 04:02:17,279
a very heavy rocket it's a

4205
04:02:25,349 --> 04:02:21,199
55-ish 58 pounds uh it has a

4206
04:02:28,469 --> 04:02:26,710
it has the air brake system if you can

4207
04:02:30,790 --> 04:02:28,479
see we have two cameras on board to

4208
04:02:32,309 --> 04:02:30,800
catch your in-flight video uh we have a

4209
04:02:33,510 --> 04:02:32,319
payload system in the top part of the

4210
04:02:35,510 --> 04:02:33,520
rocket

4211
04:02:37,670 --> 04:02:35,520
which will do the payload mission

4212
04:02:40,389 --> 04:02:37,680
uh and yeah that's pretty much it what's

4213
04:02:42,389 --> 04:02:40,399
your payload uh it is a basically a

4214
04:02:44,469 --> 04:02:42,399
sundial to find the direction of the

4215
04:02:47,030 --> 04:02:44,479
rocket and then we have a

4216
04:02:50,469 --> 04:02:47,040
sort of like an echo location system uh

4217
04:02:52,229 --> 04:02:50,479
to determine how far away we are

4218
04:02:53,910 --> 04:02:52,239
so what type of rewards are you guys

4219
04:02:56,630 --> 04:02:53,920
targeting this year

4220
04:02:59,429 --> 04:02:56,640
uh well we always try and go for uh team

4221
04:03:01,990 --> 04:02:59,439
spirit award of course

4222
04:03:03,510 --> 04:03:02,000
it's only right only right uh of course

4223
04:03:05,590 --> 04:03:03,520
social media is very important to us as

4224
04:03:08,229 --> 04:03:05,600
well so we would love to be chosen for

4225
04:03:10,150 --> 04:03:08,239
that award um but honestly the other

4226
04:03:12,790 --> 04:03:10,160
awards are very important altitude and

4227
04:03:14,790 --> 04:03:12,800
payload are very very important to us

4228
04:03:16,550 --> 04:03:14,800
uh but yeah i mean with the air brake

4229
04:03:18,870 --> 04:03:16,560
system we're trying to get as close as

4230
04:03:21,910 --> 04:03:18,880
we can to the target altitude so what's

4231
04:03:23,349 --> 04:03:21,920
your target target's 4 200 feet

4232
04:03:25,030 --> 04:03:23,359
all right

4233
04:03:29,030 --> 04:03:25,040
and uh how many times have you flown it

4234
04:03:30,550 --> 04:03:29,040
thus far we've flown twice so far so

4235
04:03:33,189 --> 04:03:30,560
it's well tested and how close have you

4236
04:03:34,710 --> 04:03:33,199
gotten to that to that target so far uh

4237
04:03:36,870 --> 04:03:34,720
first time we were under a couple

4238
04:03:38,150 --> 04:03:36,880
hundred feet um and the second one we

4239
04:03:39,910 --> 04:03:38,160
had to launch on a separate motor

4240
04:03:42,309 --> 04:03:39,920
because we were out uh supply chain

4241
04:03:44,229 --> 04:03:42,319
issues uh but yeah that one we actually

4242
04:03:46,710 --> 04:03:44,239
got four feet from the new target that

4243
04:03:47,910 --> 04:03:46,720
we set for that motor so

4244
04:03:49,349 --> 04:03:47,920
all right is there any sponsors anybody

4245
04:03:51,110 --> 04:03:49,359
you need you guys do you think of course

4246
04:03:52,630 --> 04:03:51,120
yes uh we'd like to thank the alabama

4247
04:03:55,349 --> 04:03:52,640
space grant association

4248
04:03:57,110 --> 04:03:55,359
uh and also dinetics and boeing

4249
04:03:59,110 --> 04:03:57,120
we'd also like to thank our advisors

4250
04:04:03,670 --> 04:03:59,120

4251
04:04:08,309 --> 04:04:06,469

um

4254
04:04:12,870 --> 04:04:10,640
obviously you guys have been here before

4255
04:04:15,110 --> 04:04:12,880
because of the hawaiian shirt tradition

4256
04:04:17,349 --> 04:04:15,120
uh how much of the team is new how many

4257
04:04:20,070 --> 04:04:17,359
of you guys are seniors oh we probably

4258
04:04:21,670 --> 04:04:20,080
have a good 30 new people okay and

4259
04:04:23,110 --> 04:04:21,680
probably around the same amount of

4260
04:04:25,110 --> 04:04:23,120
seniors honestly

4261
04:04:27,510 --> 04:04:25,120
we have a lapse in recruitment because

4262
04:04:29,189 --> 04:04:27,520
of the covid but um

4263
04:04:30,630 --> 04:04:29,199
but yeah i think we definitely rebounded

4264
04:04:32,870 --> 04:04:30,640
this year and recruited a whole bunch of

4265
04:04:35,269 --> 04:04:32,880
new members and we're definitely primed

4266
04:04:37,830 --> 04:04:35,279
to come back year after year

4267
04:04:39,990 --> 04:04:37,840

the things that you guys have learned as

4274
04:04:54,070 --> 04:04:52,160
a team over the years and how you've

4275
04:04:56,630 --> 04:04:54,080
implemented that for the launch this

4276
04:04:58,070 --> 04:04:56,640
year of course well we realized that

4277
04:05:00,630 --> 04:04:58,080
engagement is one of the most important

4278
04:05:02,469 --> 04:05:00,640
things in a club especially a university

4279
04:05:04,870 --> 04:05:02,479
club when people have other things going

4280
04:05:07,269 --> 04:05:04,880
on like tests and that sort of thing

4281
04:05:09,590 --> 04:05:07,279
so we we decided to hold like weekly

4282
04:05:11,990 --> 04:05:09,600
meetings so people know when and where

4283
04:05:14,469 --> 04:05:12,000
to show up consistently

4284
04:05:17,030 --> 04:05:14,479

4285
04:05:19,269 --> 04:05:17,040
with our group me messaging

4286
04:05:20,950 --> 04:05:19,279

think we all have in our lives kind of

4315
04:14:03,189 --> 04:14:01,279
took on a life of its own a jacket that

4316
04:14:06,149 --> 04:14:03,199
was destined just to have a nasa patch

4317
04:14:07,590 --> 04:14:06,159
on there soon became a jacket where i

4318
04:14:09,429 --> 04:14:07,600
had to have some patches that were close

4319
04:14:12,950 --> 04:14:09,439
to me and personal my dad had an

4320
04:14:15,110 --> 04:14:12,960
experiment fly on sts-87 and sts-95 and

4321
04:14:16,469 --> 04:14:15,120
so of course those had to join and then

4322
04:14:18,389 --> 04:14:16,479
different launches i've been fortunate

4323
04:14:19,590 --> 04:14:18,399
to fortunate to see a number of launches

4324
04:14:21,349 --> 04:14:19,600
in person

4325
04:14:23,429 --> 04:14:21,359
you know those of course have to go on

4326
04:14:25,670 --> 04:14:23,439
and um growing up here in rocket city

4327
04:14:27,349 --> 04:14:25,680

4342
04:15:00,790 --> 04:14:58,399
around let us see the back

4343
04:15:03,990 --> 04:15:00,800
this is awesome

4344
04:15:06,070 --> 04:15:04,000
so cool

4345
04:15:09,590 --> 04:15:06,080
on the back kind of lower center is the

4346
04:15:11,030 --> 04:15:09,600
apollo 16 mission in apollo 16 50 years

4347
04:15:12,630 --> 04:15:11,040
ago right now

4348
04:15:14,630 --> 04:15:12,640
charlie duke and john young were

4349
04:15:15,990 --> 04:15:14,640
exploring the lunar highlands they were

4350
04:15:18,710 --> 04:15:16,000
going a portion of the moon that we

4351
04:15:21,030 --> 04:15:18,720
hadn't been to before but to think about

4352
04:15:22,710 --> 04:15:21,040
50 years ago right now

4353
04:15:25,110 --> 04:15:22,720
we had two astronauts walking on the

4354
04:15:27,269 --> 04:15:25,120
moon and ken mattingly and casper

4355
04:15:28,950 --> 04:15:27,279
orbiting now for any of you guys for any

4356
04:15:31,110 --> 04:15:28,960
of you space buffs or anybody here in

4357
04:15:33,349 --> 04:15:31,120
rochester out here in the field the

4358
04:15:35,110 --> 04:15:33,359
apollo 16 capsule is at the u.s space

4359
04:15:36,870 --> 04:15:35,120
and rocket center just a few miles away

4360
04:15:38,710 --> 04:15:36,880
from where we're standing so make sure

4361
04:15:40,149 --> 04:15:38,720
you go check out casper charlie duke was

4362
04:15:42,469 --> 04:15:40,159
here a few nights ago

4363
04:15:45,269 --> 04:15:42,479
and um standing in front of the capsule

4364
04:15:47,110 --> 04:15:45,279
that kept him safe at home so

4365
04:15:49,510 --> 04:15:47,120
it's just it's a pleasure to honor the

4366
04:15:51,110 --> 04:15:49,520
history and then down here at the bottom

4367
04:15:52,870 --> 04:15:51,120
i've got two of my favorite patches the

4368
04:15:54,950 --> 04:15:52,880
artemis program patch and the artemis

4369
04:15:57,510 --> 04:15:54,960
one patch we're getting ready to fly the

4370
04:15:59,510 --> 04:15:57,520
first art in this mission we are going

4371
04:16:01,670 --> 04:15:59,520
we are going and it's going to be

4372
04:16:03,030 --> 04:16:01,680
absolutely incredible i can't wait we

4373
04:16:04,070 --> 04:16:03,040
talked with dave reynolds earlier he

4374
04:16:06,389 --> 04:16:04,080
talked about

4375
04:16:07,990 --> 04:16:06,399
just the sensation of what that feeling

4376
04:16:09,830 --> 04:16:08,000
that blast is going to be like hearing

4377
04:16:10,870 --> 04:16:09,840
how loud it's going to be

4378
04:16:12,870 --> 04:16:10,880
that's one of the things that i just

4379
04:16:15,110 --> 04:16:12,880
keep thinking about and can't wait for

4380
04:16:17,110 --> 04:16:15,120
yes one last question for you ryan i

4381
04:16:19,349 --> 04:16:17,120
know you were telling me earlier that

4382
04:16:22,229 --> 04:16:19,359
you've used this jacket to actually

4383
04:16:23,830 --> 04:16:22,239
educate students about nasa talk to me

4384
04:16:25,590 --> 04:16:23,840
about that a little bit yeah absolutely

4385
04:16:26,950 --> 04:16:25,600
so i was fortunate enough to do my

4386
04:16:30,469 --> 04:16:26,960
master's degree at the university of

4387
04:16:33,030 --> 04:16:30,479
arkansas they have had the center for

4388
04:16:35,429 --> 04:16:33,040
center for space and planetary sciences

4389
04:16:37,910 --> 04:16:35,439
and i studied mars geology and as part

4390
04:16:40,309 --> 04:16:37,920
of what i did i love to go out and talk

4391
04:16:41,510 --> 04:16:40,319
to kids and so between this

4392
04:16:42,870 --> 04:16:41,520
with this jacket and i've got some

4393
04:16:44,630 --> 04:16:42,880
meteorites in my pocket that i've been

4394
04:16:46,149 --> 04:16:44,640
able to acquire over the years

4395
04:16:48,309 --> 04:16:46,159
i've been able to teach the space

4396
04:16:50,630 --> 04:16:48,319
program essentially off my jacket out in

4397
04:16:52,389 --> 04:16:50,640
the middle of fields or in libraries

4398
04:16:54,550 --> 04:16:52,399
out in northwest arkansas

4399
04:16:57,349 --> 04:16:54,560
that's awesome well it is so good to

4400
04:16:59,189 --> 04:16:57,359
have someone so knowledgeable uh that

4401
04:17:01,510 --> 04:16:59,199

looking out here behind you at all the

4412
04:17:20,469 --> 04:17:19,680
beautiful rockets on the launch rails

4413
04:17:22,710 --> 04:17:20,479
and

4414
04:17:25,510 --> 04:17:22,720

awesome it's a beautiful day here in

4416
04:17:31,110 --> 04:17:28,800
tony alabama at bragg farms we are going

4417
04:17:33,269 --> 04:17:31,120
to be launching some more rockets here

4418
04:17:36,110 --> 04:17:33,279
very soon we're going to take a quick

4419
04:17:44,580 --> 04:17:36,120

a freshman at dillard university i am a

4436
04:29:52,309 --> 04:29:48,880
physics major with a math minor in a

4437
04:29:54,550 --> 04:29:52,319
concentration in pre-engineering

4438
04:29:56,149 --> 04:29:54,560
hey guys my name is demarco smith i am a

4439
04:29:59,269 --> 04:29:56,159

4440
04:30:01,030 --> 04:29:59,279
engineering and that's me

4441
04:30:02,550 --> 04:30:01,040
so now we understand you're a small team

4442
04:30:05,110 --> 04:30:02,560
is this your first year here at student

4443
04:30:07,590 --> 04:30:05,120
launch yeah it is this is our first year

4444
04:30:08,870 --> 04:30:07,600
and as of right now we're just a design

4445
04:30:10,229 --> 04:30:08,880
team you know what that means pretty

4446
04:30:11,990 --> 04:30:10,239
much just making sure that all the

4447
04:30:13,590 --> 04:30:12,000
dimensions and everything's correct but

4448
04:30:16,309 --> 04:30:13,600
we kind of wanted to come out here and

4449
04:30:18,710 --> 04:30:16,319
just kind of enjoy everything and just

4450
04:30:19,910 --> 04:30:18,720
kind of take it all in and everything

4451
04:30:21,750 --> 04:30:19,920
yeah i'm sure there's a lot that you're

4452
04:30:23,830 --> 04:30:21,760
able to pick up from the teams that that

4453
04:30:25,910 --> 04:30:23,840
are out here uh what's your experience

4454
04:30:27,590 --> 04:30:25,920
been like as a design team in first year

4455
04:30:30,870 --> 04:30:27,600
in student launch

4456
04:30:33,269 --> 04:30:30,880
the experience has been very of

4457
04:30:35,110 --> 04:30:33,279
learning how to actually be a

4458
04:30:37,910 --> 04:30:35,120
professional in the professional realm

4459
04:30:39,510 --> 04:30:37,920
but also just in the academic realm of

4460
04:30:42,630 --> 04:30:39,520
this actual project learning how to

4461
04:30:43,990 --> 04:30:42,640
present to high to to higher ups as well

4462
04:30:45,830 --> 04:30:44,000
how to

4463
04:30:47,750 --> 04:30:45,840
networking and everything of that nature

4464
04:30:49,590 --> 04:30:47,760
so it's been very

4465
04:30:51,349 --> 04:30:49,600
cool and everything yeah

4466
04:30:53,670 --> 04:30:51,359
now we understand your rocket has a

4467
04:30:55,910 --> 04:30:53,680
number of payloads uh almost the same

4468
04:30:58,630 --> 04:30:55,920
number of payloads as team members right

4469
04:31:00,550 --> 04:30:58,640
yeah yes actually it's very ironic that

4470
04:31:03,590 --> 04:31:00,560
we actually have three payloads so we

4471
04:31:05,510 --> 04:31:03,600
have p1 which serves as our main payload

4472
04:31:07,269 --> 04:31:05,520
then we have two p2 to kind of serve as

4473
04:31:09,349 --> 04:31:07,279
our sub payloads and everything and the

4474
04:31:11,750 --> 04:31:09,359
p2s you know that that consists of the

4475
04:31:14,309 --> 04:31:11,760
micro beacon the camera and then the p1

4476
04:31:16,149 --> 04:31:14,319
also conserves as a ammo 2 pro which

4477
04:31:17,189 --> 04:31:16,159
when it launches they're able to read

4478
04:31:18,870 --> 04:31:17,199
weather

4479
04:31:21,030 --> 04:31:18,880
trajectories and everything like that

4480
04:31:23,030 --> 04:31:21,040
yeah yeah so there's been a lot of teams

4481
04:31:25,750 --> 04:31:23,040
that have launched so far what's a team

4482
04:31:29,990 --> 04:31:25,760
that has stuck out to y'all

4483
04:31:31,269 --> 04:31:30,000
i like purdue i like to produce purdue

4484
04:31:36,389 --> 04:31:31,279
but

4485
04:31:42,229 --> 04:31:36,399
favorites so far

4486
04:31:45,990 --> 04:31:44,950
purdue as well yeah purdue

4487
04:31:49,990 --> 04:31:46,000
so

4488
04:31:51,990 --> 04:31:50,000
probably say nc state is probably my

4489
04:31:54,309 --> 04:31:52,000
favorite just because of the way how

4490
04:31:56,229 --> 04:31:54,319
they kind of carry themselves in terms

4491
04:31:57,830 --> 04:31:56,239
of the professionalism once again and

4492
04:32:00,389 --> 04:31:57,840
the way how their their rocket actually

4493
04:32:02,149 --> 04:32:00,399
looked i i really like it yeah

4494
04:32:03,910 --> 04:32:02,159
nc state is a team that is here year

4495
04:32:06,229 --> 04:32:03,920
after year we love seeing seeing the

4496
04:32:08,070 --> 04:32:06,239
wolf pack come out have you guys learned

4497
04:32:10,389 --> 04:32:08,080
some things from some of these other

4498
04:32:12,309 --> 04:32:10,399
rockets that you'll take into next year

4499
04:32:13,990 --> 04:32:12,319
absolutely yeah we were actually

4500
04:32:16,389 --> 04:32:14,000
discussing it a couple minutes ago one

4501
04:32:17,830 --> 04:32:16,399
of the major things was the track on

4502
04:32:19,670 --> 04:32:17,840
that on the actual motor and actually

4503
04:32:21,269 --> 04:32:19,680
being able to see it

4504
04:32:22,630 --> 04:32:21,279
come down and everything i thought that

4505
04:32:24,710 --> 04:32:22,640
that was very

4506
04:32:26,870 --> 04:32:24,720
innovative that that we can probably

4507
04:32:28,149 --> 04:32:26,880
involve into our own rocket maybe put

4508
04:32:30,070 --> 04:32:28,159
some of those additives in there so you

4509
04:32:32,070 --> 04:32:30,080
get that nice black plume as you're

4510
04:32:34,070 --> 04:32:32,080
launching

4511
04:32:36,710 --> 04:32:34,080
i spoke to some of the members

4512
04:32:38,389 --> 04:32:36,720
from the purdue team and

4513
04:32:40,149 --> 04:32:38,399
they kind i talked to them about their

4514
04:32:41,990 --> 04:32:40,159
parachute because that's also very

4515
04:32:43,670 --> 04:32:42,000
important when you're thinking about the

4516
04:32:45,429 --> 04:32:43,680
weight of your overall rocket and

4517
04:32:46,469 --> 04:32:45,439
recovering

4518
04:32:47,830 --> 04:32:46,479
awesome well do you guys have any

4519
04:32:50,070 --> 04:32:47,840
sponsors anybody back home you want to

4520
04:32:52,389 --> 04:32:50,080
thank yeah i would like to thank my

4521
04:32:59,770 --> 04:32:52,399
family just for being supportive of me

4522
04:34:54,880 --> 04:33:08,820
[Music]

4523
04:35:06,670 --> 04:34:54,890
foreign

4524
04:35:06,680 --> 04:35:28,070
[Music]

4525
04:35:28,080 --> 04:35:36,690
so

4526
04:35:41,540 --> 04:35:39,990
[Music]

4527
04:36:02,260 --> 04:35:41,550
so

4528
04:39:43,430 --> 04:36:14,010
[Music]

4529
04:39:43,440 --> 04:39:46,600
john

4530
04:39:49,450 --> 04:39:48,310
[Music]

4531
04:40:02,628 --> 04:39:49,460
oh

4532
04:40:27,680 --> 04:40:05,440
uh

4533
04:40:31,790 --> 04:40:29,110
[Music]

4534
04:40:45,750 --> 04:40:31,800
uh

4535
04:40:48,570 --> 04:40:45,760
[Music]

4536
04:41:12,230 --> 04:40:48,580
me

4537
04:41:12,240 --> 04:41:18,190
uh

4538
04:41:29,370 --> 04:41:23,830
[Music]

4539
04:41:40,720 --> 04:41:29,380
um

4540
04:43:57,830 --> 04:42:24,250
[Music]

4541
04:43:57,840 --> 04:44:01,420
my

4542
04:45:32,370 --> 04:44:15,350
[Music]

4543
04:45:44,550 --> 04:45:32,380
so

4544
04:45:51,270 --> 04:45:47,030
the sun

4545
04:45:57,990 --> 04:45:54,150
all right looks looking good so the

4546
04:46:01,030 --> 04:45:59,590
and again there's a lot of heavily

4547
04:46:05,990 --> 04:46:01,040
modified

4548
04:46:09,830 --> 04:46:07,830
and see that little smoke you can see

4549
04:46:12,150 --> 04:46:09,840
that's the tracking smoke

4550
04:46:15,190 --> 04:46:12,160
from the motor again the motor has a

4551
04:46:17,510 --> 04:46:15,200
tracking smoke built into it helps it

4552
04:46:19,270 --> 04:46:17,520
easier to find to spot when it's coming

4553
04:46:22,470 --> 04:46:19,280
in under recovery

4554
04:46:24,708 --> 04:46:22,480
maine is set for 550 feet coming down

4555
04:46:26,708 --> 04:46:24,718
pretty good at a pretty good rate which

4556
04:46:28,708 --> 04:46:26,718
is okay we're about we're below a

4557
04:46:31,510 --> 04:46:28,718
thousand feet right now

4558
04:46:33,350 --> 04:46:31,520
approaching 7.50 we should be at 500

4559
04:46:35,110 --> 04:46:33,360
here pretty soon

4560
04:46:43,270 --> 04:46:35,120
there it is

4561
04:46:47,110 --> 04:46:45,750
looking good nice job team it's also

4562
04:46:49,430 --> 04:46:47,120
really cool to see the other teams

4563
04:46:51,910 --> 04:46:49,440
applaud and celebrate each other on that

4564
04:46:58,470 --> 04:46:51,920
so really cool teamwork out here

4565
04:47:02,708 --> 04:47:00,230
and it is

4566
04:47:19,350 --> 04:47:02,718
halfway down

4567
04:47:23,190 --> 04:47:21,030
okay so we're going to actually stay in

4568
04:47:26,708 --> 04:47:23,200
the far away back pads we're going to

4569
04:47:28,868 --> 04:47:26,718
pad number 64. so that's going to be

4570
04:47:32,310 --> 04:47:28,878
one to the right of the one that just

4571
04:47:35,270 --> 04:47:32,320
took off this is washington university

4572
04:47:40,550 --> 04:47:35,280
in st louis

4573
04:47:42,150 --> 04:47:40,560
pad 64. the name of this rocket is

4574
04:47:45,190 --> 04:47:42,160
osiris

4575
04:47:47,030 --> 04:47:45,200
it's 34 pound rocket just over five and

4576
04:47:48,470 --> 04:47:47,040
a half inch diameter seven and a half

4577
04:47:51,030 --> 04:47:48,480
feet tall

4578
04:47:52,788 --> 04:47:51,040
this does say after oh yeah this after

4579
04:47:55,190 --> 04:47:52,798
landing in a tree

4580
04:47:58,230 --> 04:47:55,200
they successfully recovered it with an

4581
04:48:00,150 --> 04:47:58,240
apple picker and are flying it today so

4582
04:48:01,110 --> 04:48:00,160
they were nice able to get that rocket

4583
04:48:03,430 --> 04:48:01,120
back

4584
04:48:05,750 --> 04:48:03,440
this does have a pyra grid type of

4585
04:48:07,590 --> 04:48:05,760
experiment so it has an imu

4586
04:48:10,310 --> 04:48:07,600
based inertial navigation system that's

4587
04:48:13,110 --> 04:48:10,320
running on a raspberry pi with python

4588
04:48:16,788 --> 04:48:13,120
this rocket is flying on an l 1150

4589
04:48:19,670 --> 04:48:16,798
redline aerotech main set for 600 feet

4590
04:48:21,350 --> 04:48:19,680
should go 5000 feet in altitude

4591
04:48:23,110 --> 04:48:21,360
i do remember looking at this rocket

4592
04:48:24,628 --> 04:48:23,120
everyone on this rocket they signed

4593
04:48:27,110 --> 04:48:24,638
their name which is about half the body

4594
04:48:28,948 --> 04:48:27,120
length of the rocket this one also does

4595
04:48:31,270 --> 04:48:28,958
a dual deployment but not in a normal

4596
04:48:32,788 --> 04:48:31,280
sense so the drogue is in the top side

4597
04:48:34,628 --> 04:48:32,798
the main is in the is actually in the

4598
04:48:36,550 --> 04:48:34,638
bottom side of the rocket

4599
04:48:39,430 --> 04:48:36,560
this is their second time competing in

4600
04:48:40,550 --> 04:48:39,440
sli but is their first time here in

4601
04:48:42,150 --> 04:48:40,560
alabama

4602
04:48:43,830 --> 04:48:42,160
also they actually saw the u.s space

4603
04:48:46,628 --> 04:48:43,840
rocket center yesterday so they're even

4604
04:48:48,310 --> 04:48:46,638
more inspired after touring the uf space

4605
04:48:50,788 --> 04:48:48,320
and rocket center here in huntsville so

4606
04:48:54,150 --> 04:48:50,798
they are really looking forward to doing

4607
04:48:56,390 --> 04:48:54,160
more with rocketry pad 64 we have a

4608
04:48:58,550 --> 04:48:56,400
clear sky i got the thumbs up

4609
04:49:03,350 --> 04:48:58,560
clear range we are going to launch

4610
04:49:07,020 --> 04:49:03,360
osiris in five four three two one

4611
04:49:14,708 --> 04:49:09,990
[Applause]

4612
04:49:19,750 --> 04:49:16,470
a little left of the sun

4613
04:49:21,590 --> 04:49:19,760
starting to go over just a little bit

4614
04:49:23,430 --> 04:49:21,600
that's probably all 5 thousand feet

4615
04:49:28,070 --> 04:49:23,440
there

4616
04:49:28,080 --> 04:49:32,310
okay parachutes out

4617
04:49:38,310 --> 04:49:34,150
not as excited on this one it sounds

4618
04:49:38,320 --> 04:49:53,190
main is set for 600 feet for this one

4619
04:49:57,510 --> 04:49:55,350
so it's starting to come back towards

4620
04:50:01,190 --> 04:49:57,520
the still under drogue parachute

4621
04:50:03,830 --> 04:50:01,200
still probably 2500 feet up

4622
04:50:07,510 --> 04:50:03,840
again main is set for 600 feet

4623
04:50:11,910 --> 04:50:07,520
approaching 2000 feet right now

4624
04:50:16,788 --> 04:50:14,708
there's there is 600 feet

4625
04:50:21,030 --> 04:50:16,798
oh now the crowd's really excited about

4626
04:50:28,150 --> 04:50:22,628
so

4627
04:50:30,070 --> 04:50:28,160
point at it heads up point at it

4628
04:50:33,430 --> 04:50:30,080
point at it folks let your neighbors

4629
04:50:36,230 --> 04:50:33,440
know heads up point at it stand up point

4630
04:50:40,550 --> 04:50:36,240
at it don't touch it heads up point at

4631
04:50:42,230 --> 04:50:40,560
the rocket point at the rocket

4632
04:50:44,390 --> 04:50:42,240
you don't need to run from it you just

4633
04:50:52,628 --> 04:50:44,400
got to step out of the way of it

4634
04:51:05,350 --> 04:50:54,948
okay

4635
04:51:06,390 --> 04:51:05,360
it let the team that's involved with it

4636
04:51:08,948 --> 04:51:06,400
touch it might want to get that

4637
04:51:21,030 --> 04:51:08,958
parachute collapsed relatively quickly

4638
04:51:21,040 --> 04:51:34,470
okay

4639
04:51:39,430 --> 04:51:36,868
hear a lot of chatter from the crowd so

4640
04:51:40,868 --> 04:51:39,440
yes when that rocket's coming in

4641
04:51:42,390 --> 04:51:40,878
you just want to point at it and let

4642
04:51:44,150 --> 04:51:42,400
your neighbors know

4643
04:51:45,910 --> 04:51:44,160
we will resume rocketry we still have

4644
04:51:47,270 --> 04:51:45,920
some rockets on the launch pad so we'll

4645
04:51:49,270 --> 04:51:47,280
want to turn the face towards the

4646
04:51:51,030 --> 04:51:49,280
rockets

4647
04:51:53,750 --> 04:51:51,040
so now we're going to the close pads

4648
04:51:55,990 --> 04:51:53,760
we're going to pad number 34.

4649
04:51:58,708 --> 04:51:56,000
this is portland rocketry out of

4650
04:52:03,590 --> 04:51:58,718
portland oregon the name of this rocket

4651
04:52:05,510 --> 04:52:03,600
is asgard it's 11.3 pounds fairly light

4652
04:52:07,670 --> 04:52:05,520
four inches in diameter

4653
04:52:09,750 --> 04:52:07,680
six feet eight inches tall

4654
04:52:11,350 --> 04:52:09,760
so this rocket does have an advanced

4655
04:52:13,670 --> 04:52:11,360
self-guided

4656
04:52:15,590 --> 04:52:13,680
autonomous recovery device

4657
04:52:17,750 --> 04:52:15,600
it's also

4658
04:52:20,708 --> 04:52:17,760
using a gps that's why it's called

4659
04:52:23,110 --> 04:52:20,718
asgard to track its location which will

4660
04:52:25,430 --> 04:52:23,120
help analyzing weather patterns as we

4661
04:52:27,590 --> 04:52:25,440
are providing data

4662
04:52:31,670 --> 04:52:27,600
for

4663
04:52:33,670 --> 04:52:31,680
is one of the sli comp competition

4664
04:52:35,830 --> 04:52:33,680
rockets

4665
04:52:46,868 --> 04:52:35,840
this should be going or this is planning

4666
04:52:50,948 --> 04:52:48,948
portland

4667
04:52:52,788 --> 04:52:50,958
not sure on the motor so i guess it'll

4668
04:52:55,190 --> 04:52:52,798
just be a mystery motor when it takes

4669
04:52:57,350 --> 04:52:55,200
off this is their first time here and

4670
04:53:00,230 --> 04:52:57,360
there are six people on the team i also

4671
04:53:02,628 --> 04:53:00,240
did find out asgard does tie into

4672
04:53:04,470 --> 04:53:02,638
thor's house i did not know that and

4673
04:53:07,350 --> 04:53:04,480
they also have a new avionics bay on

4674
04:53:09,110 --> 04:53:07,360
here so it's the blue and gold rocket

4675
04:53:11,590 --> 04:53:09,120
and it's a conglomerate of students all

4676
04:53:13,830 --> 04:53:11,600
across the portland area pad 34. we have

4677
04:53:15,430 --> 04:53:13,840
a clear sky i have the thumbs up

4678
04:53:16,708 --> 04:53:15,440
we have a clear range i see a lot of

4679
04:53:20,150 --> 04:53:16,718
cameras pointing at it so we're gonna

4680
04:53:20,948 --> 04:53:20,160
launch this rocket in five four three

4681
04:53:28,230 --> 04:53:20,958
two

4682
04:53:36,230 --> 04:53:30,788
so it was a form of a red line motor

4683
04:53:52,948 --> 04:53:38,868
that high cloud haze is a little tricky

4684
04:53:52,958 --> 04:54:02,550
did anyone see an event on that one

4685
04:54:09,590 --> 04:54:04,230
well we know it's not in orbit i don't

4686
04:54:09,600 --> 04:54:24,390
but my eyes are not kind to me right now

4687
04:54:31,910 --> 04:54:26,868
is it under parachute

4688
04:54:37,110 --> 04:54:34,390
oh yep i see it so just to the right

4689
04:54:39,030 --> 04:54:37,120
side below the sun right of the lco desk

4690
04:54:41,670 --> 04:54:39,040
coming down under drogue

4691
04:54:44,868 --> 04:54:41,680
main is set for 500 feet we're about a

4692
04:54:46,948 --> 04:54:44,878
thousand feet right now off to the right

4693
04:54:49,510 --> 04:54:46,958
side of the lco desk

4694
04:54:51,910 --> 04:54:49,520
we're about 750 and we're at 500 right

4695
04:54:59,510 --> 04:54:51,920
there there's the main event

4696
04:55:02,788 --> 04:55:01,350
just a little bit more energy on the

4697
04:55:07,110 --> 04:55:02,798
landing than normal or what they're

4698
04:55:13,190 --> 04:55:09,350
we got a little nice couple sympathy

4699
04:55:15,910 --> 04:55:13,200
claps so thank you everyone

4700
04:55:19,670 --> 04:55:15,920
so we're going now to

4701
04:55:23,750 --> 04:55:21,430
so this is again just to the right of

4702
04:55:24,868 --> 04:55:23,760
the front bank pads here at the lco desk

4703
04:55:31,430 --> 04:55:24,878
this is

4704
04:55:35,510 --> 04:55:31,440
they are from cota de caza orange county

4705
04:55:39,190 --> 04:55:35,520
in california the name of this rocket is

4706
04:55:42,150 --> 04:55:39,200
typhon it is 24.5 pounds four inches in

4707
04:55:44,070 --> 04:55:42,160
diameter seven feet seven inches tall

4708
04:55:46,788 --> 04:55:44,080
typhon is the father of the greek

4709
04:55:48,708 --> 04:55:46,798
mythological creature hydra we will beat

4710
04:55:50,788 --> 04:55:48,718
the university teams at their own

4711
04:55:51,910 --> 04:55:50,798
challenge they wrote this i did not say

4712
04:55:53,190 --> 04:55:51,920
this

4713
04:55:55,670 --> 04:55:53,200
all they said just kidding with the

4714
04:55:57,670 --> 04:55:55,680
smiley face but they did place fourth

4715
04:55:59,910 --> 04:55:57,680
and tark in one

4716
04:56:02,708 --> 04:55:59,920
some substantial dollars and this was

4717
04:56:04,868 --> 04:56:02,718
for the 8th to 12th graders on the team

4718
04:56:08,150 --> 04:56:04,878
so they are as a sli team they are doing

4719
04:56:11,670 --> 04:56:08,160
the full usli competition this does have

4720
04:56:14,550 --> 04:56:11,680
computer vision plus imu fused approach

4721
04:56:17,350 --> 04:56:14,560
using a scale invariant feature

4722
04:56:18,628 --> 04:56:17,360
transform sift to identify landing

4723
04:56:21,030 --> 04:56:18,638
location

4724
04:56:23,030 --> 04:56:21,040
along with an imu to account for drift

4725
04:56:25,910 --> 04:56:23,040
since the last

4726
04:56:27,670 --> 04:56:25,920
analyzable photo is taken i sound so

4727
04:56:30,868 --> 04:56:27,680
smart saying all that but i have zero

4728
04:56:32,948 --> 04:56:30,878
idea what i'm talking about

4729
04:56:35,670 --> 04:56:32,958
so the other thing the other thing with

4730
04:56:36,390 --> 04:56:35,680
this project is planning to go 4 900

4731
04:56:38,628 --> 04:56:36,400
feet

4732
04:56:42,868 --> 04:56:38,638
and it is flying on a cesarote ken i'm

4733
04:56:44,948 --> 04:56:42,878
sorry cesaroni k 1085 white thunder so

4734
04:56:46,470 --> 04:56:44,958
this is going to take off with a pretty

4735
04:56:50,150 --> 04:56:46,480
good movement on it and the main is set

4736
04:56:51,030 --> 04:56:50,160
for 500 550 feet pad 35 on the right

4737
04:56:53,190 --> 04:56:51,040
side

4738
04:56:54,310 --> 04:56:53,200
we have a clear sky we have a clear

4739
04:56:57,510 --> 04:56:54,320
range

4740
04:57:09,430 --> 04:56:57,520
we are going to launch typhon in five

4741
04:57:13,190 --> 04:57:11,270
little wiggly but good on the up you

4742
04:57:15,670 --> 04:57:13,200
heard that whistle because it has split

4743
04:57:17,270 --> 04:57:15,680
fins on that when what the air goes over

4744
04:57:18,788 --> 04:57:17,280
those fin to get that extra whistle at

4745
04:57:24,390 --> 04:57:18,798
burnout

4746
04:57:30,550 --> 04:57:25,590
looks

4747
04:57:35,430 --> 04:57:30,560
parachute

4748
04:57:35,440 --> 04:57:42,868
or their drogue is very very large

4749
04:57:47,350 --> 04:57:45,110
straight up just towards the sun don't

4750
04:57:49,190 --> 04:57:47,360
look at the sun do not look at the sun

4751
04:57:51,030 --> 04:57:49,200
look left of the sun

4752
04:57:53,590 --> 04:57:51,040
you will see

4753
04:57:55,430 --> 04:57:53,600
the team hydra rocket and it's

4754
04:57:57,590 --> 04:57:55,440
and you can see what the rockets doing

4755
04:57:59,830 --> 04:57:57,600
it's not moving much the upper level

4756
04:58:04,550 --> 04:57:59,840
winds are much less than they are at

4757
04:58:10,868 --> 04:58:06,788
and i i'm pretty sure that's the main

4758
04:58:14,788 --> 04:58:13,350
it's still way up there well over four

4759
04:58:18,070 --> 04:58:14,798
thousand feet

4760
04:58:26,550 --> 04:58:20,070
yep point those antennas straight up

4761
04:58:30,948 --> 04:58:28,868
so one of the things we do in gnar is we

4762
04:58:32,628 --> 04:58:30,958
do parachute duration rockets but for

4763
04:58:34,310 --> 04:58:32,638
this event we were not going for a

4764
04:58:36,150 --> 04:58:34,320
parachute duration

4765
04:58:43,430 --> 04:58:36,160
but this one's got some good hang time

4766
04:58:43,440 --> 04:58:47,750
it's still way up there

4767
04:59:00,628 --> 04:58:50,550
so this is a k parachute duration they

4768
04:59:05,270 --> 04:59:01,910
so still

4769
04:59:07,910 --> 04:59:05,280
above 3000 feet

4770
04:59:09,590 --> 04:59:07,920
thankfully the winds are not very active

4771
04:59:11,110 --> 04:59:09,600
up there so the rock has just kind of

4772
04:59:13,430 --> 04:59:11,120
taken its time

4773
04:59:15,350 --> 04:59:13,440
not a lot of horizontal drift on it for

4774
04:59:18,628 --> 04:59:15,360
the moment but even the winds kind of

4775
04:59:20,390 --> 04:59:18,638
died down a little bit as well

4776
04:59:24,310 --> 04:59:20,400
does anyone locally here know what the

4777
04:59:26,150 --> 04:59:24,320
next county over is

4778
04:59:41,990 --> 04:59:26,160
might be where it is someone said it

4779
04:59:48,708 --> 04:59:43,830
no it's not going to georgia tennessee

4780
04:59:59,110 --> 04:59:55,910
okay

4781
05:00:01,430 --> 04:59:59,120
we wait for that rocket to land we might

4782
05:00:06,628 --> 05:00:01,440
be flying on sunday so we want to keep

4783
05:00:10,470 --> 05:00:08,708
okay for those that aren't involved with

4784
05:00:13,350 --> 05:00:10,480
team hydra you can flip back around

4785
05:00:16,390 --> 05:00:13,360
we're going to go back to flying rockets

4786
05:00:18,390 --> 05:00:16,400
so we're going to pad number 44.

4787
05:00:19,670 --> 05:00:18,400
this is aggie rocketry this is north

4788
05:00:22,788 --> 05:00:19,680
carolina

4789
05:00:24,788 --> 05:00:22,798
a t state university from greensboro

4790
05:00:25,910 --> 05:00:24,798
north carolina the name of this rocket

4791
05:00:29,470 --> 05:00:25,920
is

4792
05:00:32,550 --> 05:00:29,480
aggie comet it's 35 and a half pounds

4793
05:00:35,430 --> 05:00:32,560
5.16 inch diameter

4794
05:00:37,150 --> 05:00:35,440
nine and three quarters feet long this

4795
05:00:40,150 --> 05:00:37,160
is flying on an aerotech

4796
05:00:55,270 --> 05:00:40,160
l1520 blue thunder

4797
05:01:00,470 --> 05:00:57,430
sorry um so this this rocket does have a

4798
05:01:02,390 --> 05:01:00,480
yagi antenna and a range finder

4799
05:01:04,788 --> 05:01:02,400
the launch vehicle will be tracked using

4800
05:01:07,110 --> 05:01:04,798
a yagi antenna and rangefinder the yagi

4801
05:01:08,788 --> 05:01:07,120
calculates angle of arrival and the

4802
05:01:12,230 --> 05:01:08,798
rangefinder uses radio waves to

4803
05:01:17,270 --> 05:01:14,830
also with this r with this group they

4804
05:01:19,990 --> 05:01:17,280
have they have the ability to add and

4805
05:01:21,510 --> 05:01:20,000
subtract weight in the payload section

4806
05:01:24,310 --> 05:01:21,520
and they actually do have a really

4807
05:01:27,430 --> 05:01:24,320
sizable radio ground station

4808
05:01:28,830 --> 05:01:27,440
and for the payload it says no ejection

4809
05:01:31,270 --> 05:01:28,840
for the

4810
05:01:34,150 --> 05:01:31,280
payload part of it

4811
05:01:36,310 --> 05:01:34,160
this one is supposed to go 5 000 feet oh

4812
05:01:38,708 --> 05:01:36,320
and the fun thing with this rocket this

4813
05:01:40,708 --> 05:01:38,718
rocket did land in a tree but it was a

4814
05:01:43,590 --> 05:01:40,718
good thing because below that tree was a

4815
05:01:46,230 --> 05:01:43,600
bunch of pig manure so this one is free

4816
05:01:48,948 --> 05:01:46,240
and clear of any manure on this rocket

4817
05:01:51,670 --> 05:01:48,958
so we're going to go to pad 44. i have

4818
05:01:56,150 --> 05:01:51,680
the thumbs up for the clear sky

4819
05:02:00,390 --> 05:01:56,160
the range is clear pad 44 aggie comet is

4820
05:02:03,020 --> 05:02:00,400
going to fly in five four three two

4821
05:02:09,990 --> 05:02:03,030
one ignition

4822
05:02:16,550 --> 05:02:11,670
nice straight up boost that's definitely

4823
05:02:16,560 --> 05:02:21,430
starting to arc over

4824
05:02:21,440 --> 05:02:28,070
there's an event

4825
05:02:31,270 --> 05:02:30,470
okay we do have a parachute out on that

4826
05:02:33,110 --> 05:02:31,280
one

4827
05:02:34,948 --> 05:02:33,120
maine is set for

4828
05:02:42,550 --> 05:02:34,958
564

4829
05:02:45,990 --> 05:02:44,150
and that one is coming down a lot

4830
05:02:59,750 --> 05:02:46,000
quicker because it is on a drogue

4831
05:03:04,470 --> 05:03:02,708
so just to the left of the sun

4832
05:03:10,788 --> 05:03:04,480
don't look into the sun use a way to

4833
05:03:10,798 --> 05:03:14,788
okay just below the sun

4834
05:03:20,788 --> 05:03:17,190
okay again we're go it's about 2 000

4835
05:03:24,070 --> 05:03:20,798
feet now probably close to a thousand

4836
05:03:27,030 --> 05:03:24,080
we're probably at that 560

4837
05:03:35,110 --> 05:03:27,040
feet 464.

4838
05:03:40,230 --> 05:03:36,948
so iowa state we don't have your flight

4839
05:03:43,830 --> 05:03:41,350
can't fly your rocket because we don't

4840
05:03:45,430 --> 05:03:43,840
have your flight card

4841
05:03:48,708 --> 05:03:45,440
okay while we wait for your card we're

4842
05:03:50,868 --> 05:03:48,718
gonna we will go to the next rocket

4843
05:03:56,470 --> 05:03:50,878
don't need to run you can just walk

4844
05:03:56,480 --> 05:03:59,670
case

4845
05:04:04,628 --> 05:04:02,150
okay we're going to pad number 45 this

4846
05:04:06,550 --> 05:04:04,638
is auburn university rocketry

4847
05:04:08,470 --> 05:04:06,560
association

4848
05:04:09,910 --> 05:04:08,480
this is auburn university out of auburn

4849
05:04:12,670 --> 05:04:09,920
alabama

4850
05:04:15,110 --> 05:04:12,680
name of this rocket is ferdinand

4851
05:04:16,470 --> 05:04:15,120
57.5 pounds so it's a heavy rocket

4852
05:04:19,110 --> 05:04:16,480
probably the heaviest one i've seen so

4853
05:04:22,070 --> 05:04:19,120
far six inches in diameter

4854
05:04:23,590 --> 05:04:22,080
just shy of 11 feet tall this is flying

4855
05:04:26,948 --> 05:04:23,600
on an aerotech

4856
05:04:29,030 --> 05:04:26,958
l 2200 mojave green

4857
05:04:32,628 --> 05:04:29,040
the social or the oh sorry this does

4858
05:04:36,070 --> 05:04:32,638
have the air brake system on board

4859
05:04:38,788 --> 05:04:36,080
it says it's simming to 40 between 4 200

4860
05:04:41,910 --> 05:04:38,798
and 4 300 feet

4861
05:04:44,230 --> 05:04:41,920
the project name is magellan

4862
05:04:47,190 --> 05:04:44,240
it does have a marco polo system on it

4863
05:04:49,750 --> 05:04:47,200
it has a new take

4864
05:04:52,948 --> 05:04:49,760
a new take on an age-old sundial

4865
05:04:54,070 --> 05:04:52,958
technology to log bearing their payload

4866
05:04:57,110 --> 05:04:54,080
using

4867
05:05:00,868 --> 05:04:57,120
eco locating to find the distance there

4868
05:05:03,430 --> 05:05:00,878
is a lot going on there

4869
05:05:06,150 --> 05:05:03,440
oh and this does also have the grid fins

4870
05:05:08,230 --> 05:05:06,160
to find the target altitude

4871
05:05:09,510 --> 05:05:08,240
one thing about auburn you'll always

4872
05:05:11,270 --> 05:05:09,520
know when they're here because they love

4873
05:05:12,948 --> 05:05:11,280
the hawaiian themed shirts i don't know

4874
05:05:14,550 --> 05:05:12,958
the story behind that

4875
05:05:17,190 --> 05:05:14,560
but yesterday they're very proud of

4876
05:05:19,430 --> 05:05:17,200
their of their um attire so i do like to

4877
05:05:21,510 --> 05:05:19,440
see that and also my best friend here

4878
05:05:24,708 --> 05:05:21,520
his name is solder solder is in the

4879
05:05:26,470 --> 05:05:24,718
house he really likes to solder stuff

4880
05:05:28,550 --> 05:05:26,480
and this is the project with all the

4881
05:05:31,350 --> 05:05:28,560
systems in it when i talk to them they

4882
05:05:33,030 --> 05:05:31,360
have a three concentric lazy susan

4883
05:05:34,390 --> 05:05:33,040
system so they took their mom's

4884
05:05:36,230 --> 05:05:34,400
kitchenware i don't know what's going on

4885
05:05:39,030 --> 05:05:36,240
there they have a leg system a

4886
05:05:41,110 --> 05:05:39,040
scissorless scissor lift system and a

4887
05:05:42,390 --> 05:05:41,120
microphone system there's a lot of

4888
05:05:44,390 --> 05:05:42,400
systems going on

4889
05:05:46,628 --> 05:05:44,400
they also put on here as a comet war

4890
05:05:48,708 --> 05:05:46,638
eagle i don't know what that means

4891
05:05:51,670 --> 05:05:48,718
war eagle we'll figure that one out

4892
05:05:54,150 --> 05:05:51,680
later pad number 45

4893
05:05:56,390 --> 05:05:54,160
we are going to launch this one in five

4894
05:06:05,830 --> 05:05:56,400
four three two

4895
05:06:10,150 --> 05:06:07,830
oh their fins deployed so it's starting

4896
05:06:19,750 --> 05:06:10,160
to

4897
05:06:22,310 --> 05:06:19,760
there is an event

4898
05:06:31,670 --> 05:06:22,320
supposed to go 4 200 feet

4899
05:06:50,470 --> 05:06:34,550
and the main on this one is set for 650

4900
05:06:54,788 --> 05:06:52,628
all right so we're about a thousand feet

4901
05:06:55,750 --> 05:06:54,798
so 650 we should see something else

4902
05:06:57,670 --> 05:06:55,760
happen

4903
05:07:02,550 --> 05:06:57,680
very small drop so it's coming in pretty

4904
05:07:07,830 --> 05:07:03,990
oh

4905
05:07:10,470 --> 05:07:07,840
we need a little more air or something

4906
05:07:11,910 --> 05:07:10,480
oh no that's

4907
05:07:13,830 --> 05:07:11,920
that's got a little energy on the

4908
05:07:15,030 --> 05:07:13,840
landing

4909
05:07:19,030 --> 05:07:15,040
it is down

4910
05:07:24,868 --> 05:07:20,628
um their payload is off they have to do

4911
05:07:32,550 --> 05:07:26,948
i don't know what pad notre dame 61 yeah

4912
05:07:42,868 --> 05:07:38,868
okay

4913
05:07:45,430 --> 05:07:42,878
far back pads the

4914
05:07:48,070 --> 05:07:45,440
rocket furthest left

4915
05:07:50,230 --> 05:07:48,080
this is the name team name is psych

4916
05:07:54,470 --> 05:07:50,240
launch

4917
05:07:56,230 --> 05:07:54,480
iowa state university out of ames iowa

4918
05:07:57,430 --> 05:07:56,240
they didn't put the name of their rocket

4919
05:07:58,868 --> 05:07:57,440
so they must have filled this card out

4920
05:08:00,948 --> 05:07:58,878
in a hurry

4921
05:08:02,868 --> 05:08:00,958
but the name of it says oh no the name

4922
05:08:04,708 --> 05:08:02,878
of the rocket is craig i don't know what

4923
05:08:06,430 --> 05:08:04,718
the story is behind craig but that's the

4924
05:08:10,628 --> 05:08:06,440
name of it

4925
05:08:11,510 --> 05:08:10,638
43.8 pounds it is 6.2 inches in diameter

4926
05:08:14,070 --> 05:08:11,520
and it

4927
05:08:16,550 --> 05:08:14,080
says 145 feet tall i think they meant

4928
05:08:18,948 --> 05:08:16,560
145 inches tall because i don't think

4929
05:08:22,550 --> 05:08:18,958
it's 145 feet tall

4930
05:08:24,550 --> 05:08:22,560
is flying on aerotech l 2500 super

4931
05:08:26,070 --> 05:08:24,560
thunder so it's going to have some umph

4932
05:08:28,788 --> 05:08:26,080
to it and it does have an inertial

4933
05:08:31,110 --> 05:08:28,798
navigation system

4934
05:08:33,110 --> 05:08:31,120
so with iowa state here this is

4935
05:08:35,430 --> 05:08:33,120
projected to go

4936
05:08:37,670 --> 05:08:35,440
5 000 feet

4937
05:08:39,510 --> 05:08:37,680
the the this team did also say they

4938
05:08:41,430 --> 05:08:39,520
wanted their rocket to be just a little

4939
05:08:43,670 --> 05:08:41,440
bit bigger than the previous year team

4940
05:08:45,990 --> 05:08:43,680
so that's how they settled on 145 feet

4941
05:08:47,910 --> 05:08:46,000
tall which i think it's inches and they

4942
05:08:48,948 --> 05:08:47,920
also have a unique way to use old tennis

4943
05:08:51,270 --> 05:08:48,958
balls they use that as their

4944
05:08:53,670 --> 05:08:51,280
anti-zippering device so another way for

4945
05:08:58,150 --> 05:08:53,680
some cool ways of doing ingenuity

4946
05:09:00,550 --> 05:08:58,160
on pad number 43 we will launch in five

4947
05:09:05,750 --> 05:09:00,560
four three two

4948
05:09:08,788 --> 05:09:07,590
that's a super thunder motor for you

4949
05:09:11,430 --> 05:09:08,798
folks

4950
05:09:14,070 --> 05:09:11,440
a little squiggly on the way up on its

4951
05:09:17,110 --> 05:09:14,080
way to 5000 feet which probably will do

4952
05:09:20,708 --> 05:09:18,788
now it's almost straight up just a

4953
05:09:24,230 --> 05:09:20,718
little left of the sun

4954
05:09:28,310 --> 05:09:25,750
there's the smoke from the motor

4955
05:09:30,230 --> 05:09:28,320
ignition okay we have a drogue parachute

4956
05:09:32,440 --> 05:09:30,240
out

4957
05:09:34,470 --> 05:09:32,450
and the team doesn't seem to care

4958
05:09:36,390 --> 05:09:34,480
[Laughter]

4959
05:09:40,150 --> 05:09:36,400
they're like we expected that so we're

4960
05:09:44,788 --> 05:09:42,628
so is this this isn't the hawkeye no not

4961
05:09:47,750 --> 05:09:44,798
hawkeyes this is

4962
05:09:52,788 --> 05:09:49,948
so then the main on this one is set for

4963
05:09:55,030 --> 05:09:52,798
550 feet

4964
05:09:59,350 --> 05:09:55,040
this one is pretty close to straight up

4965
05:10:04,070 --> 05:10:02,470
so we're about 2 000 feet so folks uh

4966
05:10:06,390 --> 05:10:04,080
we're going to give this one a heads up

4967
05:10:07,990 --> 05:10:06,400
point at it look at it

4968
05:10:09,910 --> 05:10:08,000
let your neighbors know because it is

4969
05:10:11,830 --> 05:10:09,920
not how the main parachute yet it's not

4970
05:10:15,110 --> 05:10:11,840
550 feet

4971
05:10:16,948 --> 05:10:15,120
we're about a thousand feet right now

4972
05:10:18,948 --> 05:10:16,958
heads up

4973
05:10:20,230 --> 05:10:18,958
point at the rocket let your neighbor

4974
05:10:23,110 --> 05:10:20,240
know

4975
05:10:25,750 --> 05:10:23,120
there's your main again still point at

4976
05:10:27,270 --> 05:10:25,760
this rocket because of where it's going

4977
05:10:29,510 --> 05:10:27,280
still close

4978
05:10:31,750 --> 05:10:29,520
point at it let your neighbors know

4979
05:10:33,750 --> 05:10:31,760
heads up on this rocket coming in under

4980
05:10:35,270 --> 05:10:33,760
parachute

4981
05:10:36,788 --> 05:10:35,280
looks like it might be swinging out to

4982
05:10:41,990 --> 05:10:36,798
the wheat

4983
05:10:47,430 --> 05:10:45,030
okay it is down

4984
05:10:50,550 --> 05:10:47,440
iowa always likes to keep it interesting

4985
05:10:57,910 --> 05:10:50,560
iowa state not iowa iowa state

4986
05:11:03,350 --> 05:11:01,270
pad 60 this is prometheus alabama

4987
05:11:05,190 --> 05:11:03,360
rocketry association

4988
05:11:07,670 --> 05:11:05,200
this is from the university of alabama

4989
05:11:10,230 --> 05:11:07,680
out of tuscaloosa alabama

4990
05:11:11,110 --> 05:11:10,240
the name of this rocket is prometheus it

4991
05:11:13,990 --> 05:11:11,120
is

4992
05:11:16,470 --> 05:11:14,000
48.5 pounds

4993
05:11:18,708 --> 05:11:16,480
just over six inches in diameter 10 and

4994
05:11:23,670 --> 05:11:18,718
a half feet tall it is flying on an

4995
05:11:32,070 --> 05:11:23,680
aerotech elf 1940 propellant x

4996
05:11:36,310 --> 05:11:33,910
okay right now we're gonna hold so we

4997
05:11:38,150 --> 05:11:36,320
had that rocket kind of come in close

4998
05:11:40,470 --> 05:11:38,160
we're gonna adjust the pad so right now

4999
05:11:42,310 --> 05:11:40,480
we're in a temporary hold we don't need

5000
05:11:44,150 --> 05:11:42,320
rockets coming into the crowd even

5001
05:11:46,070 --> 05:11:44,160
though it's under parachute still don't

5002
05:11:47,990 --> 05:11:46,080
need it so we're going to adjust the

5003
05:11:49,510 --> 05:11:48,000
rocket pads just a little bit further

5004
05:12:39,710 --> 05:11:49,520
out so we're on a temporary hold right

5005
05:13:59,260 --> 05:13:17,460

05:18:20,150 --> 05:18:17,920
center in huntsville alabama developing

5040
05:18:22,310 --> 05:18:20,160
new technologies and maturing proven

5041
05:18:23,910 --> 05:18:22,320
systems are at the core of how marshall

5042
05:18:26,550 --> 05:18:23,920
is powering the future of space

5043
05:18:28,708 --> 05:18:26,560
exploration marshall's test area is

5044
05:18:31,110 --> 05:18:28,718
critical for ensuring engines engine

5045
05:18:33,510 --> 05:18:31,120
components thrusters and custom-designed

5046
05:18:36,150 --> 05:18:33,520
test fixtures can withstand the extreme

5047
05:18:38,310 --> 05:18:36,160
forces of launch ascent on flights and

5048
05:18:40,628 --> 05:18:38,320
travel in space our test area

5049
05:18:42,230 --> 05:18:40,638
capabilities are also used by nasa

5050
05:18:44,310 --> 05:18:42,240
partners to mature innovative

5051
05:18:46,868 --> 05:18:44,320
technologies developed by american

industry to support space exploration

5053
05:18:50,628 --> 05:18:48,798
these test areas were invaluable when

5054
05:18:53,190 --> 05:18:50,638
analyzing hardware for the space launch

5055
05:18:55,350 --> 05:18:53,200
system rockets managed by marshall

5056
05:18:57,510 --> 05:18:55,360
we built new state-of-the-art stands to

5057
05:19:00,470 --> 05:18:57,520
test the liquid hydrogen tank and liquid

5058
05:19:02,550 --> 05:19:00,480

5062
05:19:10,310 --> 05:19:08,080
adapter is just one example of how our

5063
05:19:12,628 --> 05:19:10,320
facilities and engineering skills can

5064
05:19:14,470 --> 05:19:12,638
support current and future nasa needs

05:19:19,110 --> 05:19:16,798
work in them are supporting technologies

5067
05:19:21,270 --> 05:19:19,120
such as in-space storage and transfer of

5068
05:19:23,670 --> 05:19:21,280
cryogenic propellants used for deep

5069
05:19:26,150 --> 05:19:23,680
space travel transit systems for getting

5070
05:19:28,150 --> 05:19:26,160
to and off mars and lunar systems for

5071
05:19:30,150 --> 05:19:28,160
traveling working and staying on the

5072
05:19:31,990 --> 05:19:30,160
moon we are using the knowledge we've

5073
05:19:34,070 --> 05:19:32,000
gained from our lunar lander test bed

5074
05:19:36,788 --> 05:19:34,080
programs as we work with multiple

5075
05:19:39,430 --> 05:19:36,798
industry partners to design develop test

5076
05:19:41,590 --> 05:19:39,440
and deliver human rated lunar landers

5077
05:19:42,390 --> 05:19:41,600
marshall leads the human landing system

5078
05:19:44,708 --> 05:19:42,400
program

5079
05:19:47,270 --> 05:19:44,718
which will return american astronauts to

5080
05:19:49,350 --> 05:19:47,280
the moon under artemis not only is

5081
05:19:51,350 --> 05:19:49,360
marshall integral in landing humans back

5082
05:19:53,350 --> 05:19:51,360
on the moon we are also maturing

5083
05:19:56,390 --> 05:19:53,360
approaches for artemis base camp surface

5084
05:19:58,470 --> 05:19:56,400
habitats and a mars transit habitat to

5085
05:20:00,948 --> 05:19:58,480
support surface operations on the moon

5086
05:20:03,190 --> 05:20:00,958
as a stepping stone to mars years of

5087
05:20:04,708 --> 05:20:03,200
work developing environmental control

5088
05:20:06,788 --> 05:20:04,718
and life support systems for the

5089
05:20:08,628 --> 05:20:06,798
international space station has prepared

5090
05:20:11,270 --> 05:20:08,638
us for building the systems needed for

5091
05:20:13,670 --> 05:20:11,280
our next great leap living and working

5092
05:20:15,830 --> 05:20:13,680
on the moon and eventually mars living

5093
05:20:17,830 --> 05:20:15,840
and working on the moon and one day mars

5094
05:20:19,350 --> 05:20:17,840
will require us to use the lessons we've

5095
05:20:21,350 --> 05:20:19,360
learned from the international space

5096
05:20:23,430 --> 05:20:21,360
station at the payload operations

5097
05:20:26,948 --> 05:20:23,440
integration center marshall supports the

5098
05:20:28,948 --> 05:20:26,958
space station 24 hours a day 365 days a

5099
05:20:31,190 --> 05:20:28,958
year coordinating all scientific

5100
05:20:33,510 --> 05:20:31,200
experiments on the orbiting laboratory

5101
05:20:36,470 --> 05:20:33,520
hardware designed built and managed by

5102
05:20:37,990 --> 05:20:36,480
marshall such as the 4 bed co2 scrubber

5103
05:20:39,430 --> 05:20:38,000
provide valuable data and

5104
05:20:41,670 --> 05:20:39,440
state-of-the-art support system

5105
05:20:43,590 --> 05:20:41,680
capabilities to help future explorers

5106
05:20:46,070 --> 05:20:43,600
breathe easier on the moon and future

5107
05:20:48,390 --> 05:20:46,080
long-duration missions going back to the

5108
05:20:50,788 --> 05:20:48,400
moon and on to mars requires innovative

5109
05:20:52,548 --> 05:20:50,798
solutions to many challenges how do we

5110
05:20:55,030 --> 05:20:52,558
repair tools that have been broken on

5111
05:20:57,590 --> 05:20:55,040
mars is there a way we can manufacture

5112
05:20:59,590 --> 05:20:57,600
large structures in space engineers and

5113
05:21:01,510 --> 05:20:59,600
scientists at marshall's advanced and

5114
05:21:03,830 --> 05:21:01,520
additive manufacturing facility are

5115
05:21:05,110 --> 05:21:03,840
doing work to answer those questions and

5116
05:21:07,270 --> 05:21:05,120
many more

5117
05:21:09,750 --> 05:21:07,280
figuring out solutions to challenges is

5118
05:21:11,350 --> 05:21:09,760
what we do best at marshall nowhere is

5119
05:21:13,510 --> 05:21:11,360
that better demonstrated than with our

5120
05:21:16,310 --> 05:21:13,520
unique expertise in space nuclear

5121
05:21:18,470 --> 05:21:16,320
technologies this work comes to life in

5122
05:21:20,390 --> 05:21:18,480
our nuclear thermal lab with testing of

5123
05:21:22,390 --> 05:21:20,400
concept designs fuel material

5124
05:21:24,070 --> 05:21:22,400
development and manufacturing techniques

5125
05:21:26,230 --> 05:21:24,080
that are critical for deep space

5126
05:21:28,868 --> 05:21:26,240
exploration and sending the first humans

5127
05:21:31,670 --> 05:21:28,878
to mars deep space exploration also

5128
05:21:33,990 --> 05:21:31,680
requires powerful spacecraft satellites

5129
05:21:35,910 --> 05:21:34,000
and in-space observatories marshall's

5130
05:21:37,590 --> 05:21:35,920
work with developing x-ray mirrors in

5131
05:21:39,270 --> 05:21:37,600
our optics lab has resulted in

5132
05:21:40,390 --> 05:21:39,280
developing mirrors for the james webb

5133
05:22:14,868 --> 05:21:40,400
telescope

5134
05:22:14,878 --> 05:22:23,510
but

5135
05:22:27,270 --> 05:22:24,948
okay we're

5136
05:22:29,510 --> 05:22:27,280
we've re-angled the paths a little

5137
05:22:30,390 --> 05:22:29,520
further away so when it comes in for

5138
05:22:32,628 --> 05:22:30,400
landing

5139
05:22:34,070 --> 05:22:32,638
better chance to avoid all of us here in

5140
05:22:36,390 --> 05:22:34,080
the crowd

5141
05:22:39,030 --> 05:22:36,400
this is notre dame rocketry team this is

5142
05:22:41,990 --> 05:22:39,040
university of notre dame in south

5143
05:22:43,270 --> 05:22:42,000
south bend indiana name of this rocket

5144
05:22:45,708 --> 05:22:43,280
is

5145
05:22:49,390 --> 05:22:45,718
camulus x

5146
05:22:51,670 --> 05:22:49,400
51.43 pounds six inch in diameter

5147
05:22:54,628 --> 05:22:51,680
11.17 feet tall

5148
05:22:56,310 --> 05:22:54,638
is flying on an aerotech l 2200 mojave

5149
05:22:58,628 --> 05:22:56,320
green

5150
05:23:01,030 --> 05:22:58,638
um this one does say it has a launch

5151
05:23:03,190 --> 05:23:01,040
vehicle identification system

5152
05:23:05,670 --> 05:23:03,200
does have a strap down

5153
05:23:08,628 --> 05:23:05,680
inertial navigation system

5154
05:23:12,390 --> 05:23:08,638
so i remember looking at this rocket

5155
05:23:15,430 --> 05:23:12,400
had a lot of carbon fiber in it this one

5156
05:23:17,830 --> 05:23:15,440
is actually supposed to go to 5600 feet

5157
05:23:20,708 --> 05:23:17,840
but it does have an air brake system to

5158
05:23:23,030 --> 05:23:20,718
that makes it go to 4 800 feet it's what

5159
05:23:24,470 --> 05:23:23,040
they call the penguin system so for

5160
05:23:25,670 --> 05:23:24,480
anyone that's in the crowd put your

5161
05:23:29,750 --> 05:23:25,680
hands out

5162
05:23:32,310 --> 05:23:29,760
side that's their penguin system out

5163
05:23:34,150 --> 05:23:32,320
down out down penguin system

5164
05:23:35,750 --> 05:23:34,160
the other thing with this group

5165
05:23:37,910 --> 05:23:35,760
they've used some of the biggest quick

5166
05:23:39,430 --> 05:23:37,920
links in a project i've ever seen in my

5167
05:23:42,390 --> 05:23:39,440
life i think it's the quick links that

5168
05:23:44,150 --> 05:23:42,400
could tow a boat trailer or tow boat

5169
05:23:46,390 --> 05:23:44,160
and they used a lot of carbon fiber in

5170
05:23:48,470 --> 05:23:46,400
it the other thing with this group

5171
05:23:49,990 --> 05:23:48,480
this is their 10th anniversary competing

5172
05:23:51,990 --> 05:23:50,000
in the sli

5173
05:23:55,270 --> 05:23:52,000
and this is a fairly large team they

5174
05:23:56,708 --> 05:23:55,280
have 45 members in their team 28 of them

5175
05:23:59,670 --> 05:23:56,718
are here today

5176
05:24:02,150 --> 05:23:59,680
and with their 45-member team 28 are

5177
05:24:04,628 --> 05:24:02,160
from from 28 different states four

5178
05:24:06,708 --> 05:24:04,638
different countries three different u.s

5179
05:24:08,948 --> 05:24:06,718
territories when i think of notre dame i

5180
05:24:11,270 --> 05:24:08,958
think of the movie rudy i did find out

5181
05:24:13,510 --> 05:24:11,280
and confirm they do play the movie rudy

5182
05:24:16,230 --> 05:24:13,520
every year at their stadium so pretty

5183
05:24:19,510 --> 05:24:16,240
cool they do that every year

5184
05:24:21,750 --> 05:24:19,520
okay pad number 61

5185
05:24:24,150 --> 05:24:21,760
camulus x we have a clear sky of the

5186
05:24:25,590 --> 05:24:24,160
thumbs up we have a clear range rocket's

5187
05:24:34,830 --> 05:24:25,600
pointed downrange we're going to launch

5188
05:24:39,270 --> 05:24:37,270
ignition so the penguin system is

5189
05:24:41,270 --> 05:24:39,280
supposed to

5190
05:24:43,670 --> 05:24:41,280
just past the sun the penguin system is

5191
05:24:47,110 --> 05:24:43,680
supposed to prevent it to go to 5600

5192
05:24:49,270 --> 05:24:47,120
feet have it go to 4 800 feet

5193
05:24:51,030 --> 05:24:49,280
starting to arc over

5194
05:24:57,590 --> 05:24:51,040
right towards the sun

5195
05:25:01,910 --> 05:24:59,190
okay

5196
05:25:08,788 --> 05:25:01,920
there is a drogue parachute out looking

5197
05:25:17,430 --> 05:25:12,470
so we're still probably about

5198
05:25:22,390 --> 05:25:20,548
so this team their head of marketing at

5199
05:25:24,390 --> 05:25:22,400
notre dame they did tell me and inform

5200
05:25:25,910 --> 05:25:24,400
me to notify the group

5201
05:25:28,150 --> 05:25:25,920
they said

5202
05:25:29,110 --> 05:25:28,160
go irish they just wanted to point that

5203
05:25:32,390 --> 05:25:29,120
out

5204
05:25:35,190 --> 05:25:32,400
as their head of marketing

5205
05:25:40,470 --> 05:25:35,200
so we're about 2000 feet the main is set

5206
05:25:44,830 --> 05:25:41,948
we are about

5207
05:25:48,310 --> 05:25:44,840
590 feet coming up to

5208
05:25:50,470 --> 05:25:48,320
576. there it is there was an event but

5209
05:25:53,030 --> 05:25:50,480
there's no parachute the backup saved it

5210
05:25:55,190 --> 05:25:53,040
that's why you use a backup folks

5211
05:25:57,270 --> 05:25:55,200
and the crowd i see some jumping up and

5212
05:26:01,190 --> 05:25:57,280
down so they are very excited and

5213
05:26:06,628 --> 05:26:01,200
satisfied for sure

5214
05:26:11,430 --> 05:26:08,230
sounds like someone's saying let's go

5215
05:26:11,440 --> 05:26:17,270
so now we're going back to pad 60.

5216
05:26:21,590 --> 05:26:18,470
okay

5217
05:26:23,270 --> 05:26:21,600
this pad 60 is prometheus alabama

5218
05:26:25,910 --> 05:26:23,280
rocketry association university of

5219
05:26:29,470 --> 05:26:25,920
alabama at tuscaloosa name of this rock

5220
05:26:32,150 --> 05:26:29,480
is prometheus 48 and a half pounds

5221
05:26:33,190 --> 05:26:32,160
6.17 inch diameter 10 and a half feet

5222
05:26:36,548 --> 05:26:33,200
tall

5223
05:26:39,350 --> 05:26:36,558
is flying on aerotech l 1940x main

5224
05:26:42,470 --> 05:26:39,360
except for 800 feet

5225
05:26:43,910 --> 05:26:42,480
um this does have prometheus integrated

5226
05:26:46,628 --> 05:26:43,920
camera system

5227
05:26:48,548 --> 05:26:46,638
i like the acronym it says pics

5228
05:26:50,470 --> 05:26:48,558
it's taking pictures of the launch field

5229
05:26:52,708 --> 05:26:50,480
and using

5230
05:26:55,350 --> 05:26:52,718
a machine learning to

5231
05:26:57,670 --> 05:26:55,360
process and compare pictures

5232
05:26:59,510 --> 05:26:57,680
to grid view of launch field and

5233
05:27:01,990 --> 05:26:59,520
transmit coordinates to ground station

5234
05:27:04,708 --> 05:27:02,000
that is really cool it's a very complex

5235
05:27:06,470 --> 05:27:04,718
project i think i got the gist of it

5236
05:27:07,910 --> 05:27:06,480
definitely above my pay grade but it's

5237
05:27:09,750 --> 05:27:07,920
really cool to see

5238
05:27:11,270 --> 05:27:09,760
the thing with this rocket and i noticed

5239
05:27:12,868 --> 05:27:11,280
when they were building or noticed when

5240
05:27:14,948 --> 05:27:12,878
it came through the table

5241
05:27:17,510 --> 05:27:14,958
this has some very heavy duty carbon

5242
05:27:19,590 --> 05:27:17,520
fiber fins look like some ten ounce or

5243
05:27:21,670 --> 05:27:19,600
grater the only comment they said about

5244
05:27:23,590 --> 05:27:21,680
their fins is they said the rock broke

5245
05:27:24,948 --> 05:27:23,600
their fins are that strong it broke a

5246
05:27:26,868 --> 05:27:24,958
rock

5247
05:27:29,110 --> 05:27:26,878
this does have a new payload they said

5248
05:27:31,110 --> 05:27:29,120
the last one was bye-bye it's supposed

5249
05:27:32,230 --> 05:27:31,120
to go 4 300 feet

5250
05:27:33,830 --> 05:27:32,240
and what happened unfortunately with

5251
05:27:36,470 --> 05:27:33,840
that first payload is it landed in a

5252
05:27:38,390 --> 05:27:36,480
creek so to be safe and smart they did a

5253
05:27:40,548 --> 05:27:38,400
whole new payload and all did all the

5254
05:27:42,470 --> 05:27:40,558
right testing it's all good to go

5255
05:27:45,430 --> 05:27:42,480
so pad number 60 we're going to launch

5256
05:27:47,350 --> 05:27:45,440
prometheus thumbs up for a clear sky we

5257
05:27:54,628 --> 05:27:47,360
have a clear range we will launch in

5258
05:27:54,638 --> 05:27:59,750
there it goes

5259
05:28:04,830 --> 05:28:02,310
this is supposed to go 4 300 feet it

5260
05:28:08,548 --> 05:28:04,840
might do that starting to go

5261
05:28:11,910 --> 05:28:08,558
over yeah we are in alabama starting arc

5262
05:28:16,150 --> 05:28:13,910
there is an event

5263
05:28:18,150 --> 05:28:16,160
right above the sun yeah i can hear the

5264
05:28:21,670 --> 05:28:18,160
crowd someone said are we in alabama

5265
05:28:23,430 --> 05:28:21,680
last time i checked we are

5266
05:28:26,150 --> 05:28:23,440
just right in the sun right now oh just

5267
05:28:28,708 --> 05:28:26,160
below the sun

5268
05:28:31,270 --> 05:28:28,718
main is set for 800 feet on this rocket

5269
05:28:33,190 --> 05:28:31,280
coming in pretty good relatively small

5270
05:28:35,750 --> 05:28:33,200
drogue and that small drogue is to help

5271
05:28:37,510 --> 05:28:35,760
it minimize this distance of where it's

5272
05:28:39,910 --> 05:28:37,520
landing keeps it close to where it took

5273
05:28:45,910 --> 05:28:39,920
off we're about a thousand feet right

5274
05:28:45,920 --> 05:28:52,310
they are very excited over there

5275
05:28:57,030 --> 05:28:54,948
nice good parachute on that one and the

5276
05:28:59,350 --> 05:28:57,040
way they have as much carbon fiber on

5277
05:29:11,190 --> 05:28:59,360
those fins they are indestructible so

5278
05:29:11,200 --> 05:29:27,990
okay

5279
05:29:33,110 --> 05:29:31,270
did it blow away or did it

5280
05:29:39,190 --> 05:29:33,120
it does not appear that you handed it to

5281
05:29:39,200 --> 05:29:50,628
i do not see it gerald

5282
05:29:50,638 --> 05:30:02,548
did anyone see a piece of paper

5283
05:30:05,910 --> 05:30:03,750
okay

5284
05:30:10,948 --> 05:30:05,920
pad number 63

5285
05:30:12,948 --> 05:30:10,958
we have nasa sli at virginia tech

5286
05:30:14,708 --> 05:30:12,958
okay this is a virginia tech out of

5287
05:30:18,628 --> 05:30:14,718
blacksburg virginia

5288
05:30:21,910 --> 05:30:18,638
the name of this rocket is called mk16

5289
05:30:23,910 --> 05:30:21,920
so i said what does mk16 stand for

5290
05:30:26,548 --> 05:30:23,920
for some of those that probably know is

5291
05:30:29,270 --> 05:30:26,558
the name of the iron man suit so that is

5292
05:30:30,110 --> 05:30:29,280
the reason why it's mk16

5293
05:30:33,430 --> 05:30:30,120
it is

5294
05:30:35,830 --> 05:30:33,440
35.44 pounds five inches in diameter

5295
05:30:38,868 --> 05:30:35,840
this one's 125 feet tall but i think

5296
05:30:41,590 --> 05:30:38,878
they meant inches 125 inches tall

5297
05:30:43,670 --> 05:30:41,600
does have drug deployment

5298
05:30:47,190 --> 05:30:43,680
uh after apogee

5299
05:30:50,150 --> 05:30:47,200
backup is 25 after main deployment 700

5300
05:30:53,430 --> 05:30:50,160
feet back up at 600 feet this is flying

5301
05:30:57,510 --> 05:30:53,440
on a cesseroni l 1720 white thunder i've

5302
05:31:01,030 --> 05:30:59,670
and for the science experiment this is

5303
05:31:02,548 --> 05:31:01,040
called the

5304
05:31:04,548 --> 05:31:02,558
akina

5305
05:31:07,270 --> 05:31:04,558
project which stands for the greek

5306
05:31:09,190 --> 05:31:07,280
goddess so the payload uses sensors in

5307
05:31:10,708 --> 05:31:09,200
order to determine its propulsion

5308
05:31:13,270 --> 05:31:10,718
autonomously

5309
05:31:15,830 --> 05:31:13,280
it is mounted in a removable sled that

5310
05:31:18,390 --> 05:31:15,840
is bolted to a fiberglass structure and

5311
05:31:19,990 --> 05:31:18,400
i believe that's 3d printed

5312
05:31:23,150 --> 05:31:20,000
also a couple other things with this is

5313
05:31:26,070 --> 05:31:23,160
supposed to go

5314
05:31:28,390 --> 05:31:26,080
5250 feet on their practice flight it

5315
05:31:29,750 --> 05:31:28,400
was within nine feet of that altitude so

5316
05:31:31,990 --> 05:31:29,760
they feel very confident they're going

5317
05:31:34,230 --> 05:31:32,000
to be able to hit that

5318
05:31:35,590 --> 05:31:34,240
oh and their university so virginia tech

5319
05:31:40,788 --> 05:31:35,600
is in its

5320
05:31:42,788 --> 05:31:40,798
sea sequential 150 year anniversary

5321
05:31:47,350 --> 05:31:42,798
oh the one thing i was supposed to say

5322
05:31:52,868 --> 05:31:48,830
let's

5323
05:31:59,830 --> 05:31:54,470
okay i got it

5324
05:32:01,830 --> 05:31:59,840
all right so on pad 63 we'll fly mk 16.

5325
05:32:03,830 --> 05:32:01,840
we have a thumbs up for clear sky we

5326
05:32:07,350 --> 05:32:03,840
have a clear range we are going to

5327
05:32:12,708 --> 05:32:07,360
launch this rocket in five four three

5328
05:32:17,990 --> 05:32:14,670
wow okay so it's headed to

5329
05:32:26,150 --> 05:32:18,000
5250 feet

5330
05:32:30,150 --> 05:32:27,590
need an event

5331
05:32:34,230 --> 05:32:30,160
there's an event there's it's backup

5332
05:32:37,750 --> 05:32:36,310
okay the other thing i noticed with this

5333
05:32:40,628 --> 05:32:37,760
project

5334
05:32:44,548 --> 05:32:40,638
there is a team member named helen

5335
05:32:49,590 --> 05:32:44,558
so today this day is helen's 21st

5336
05:32:55,270 --> 05:32:51,750
i didn't say that she's gonna have some

5337
05:33:04,150 --> 05:32:55,280
refreshments this evening i believe

5338
05:33:09,030 --> 05:33:06,390
okay we're still about

5339
05:33:12,788 --> 05:33:09,040
3 000 feet up

5340
05:33:15,030 --> 05:33:12,798
about probably closer to 2 000 feet

5341
05:33:16,590 --> 05:33:15,040
main is set for 700 feet so we're coming

5342
05:33:18,708 --> 05:33:16,600
up on a thousand feet right now

5343
05:33:20,470 --> 05:33:18,718
[Music]

5344
05:33:22,470 --> 05:33:20,480
900

5345
05:33:24,948 --> 05:33:22,480
800

5346
05:33:29,910 --> 05:33:24,958
this would be 700 right here so we need

5347
05:33:35,110 --> 05:33:32,470
all right congratulations and happy

5348
05:33:36,948 --> 05:33:35,120
birthday helen

5349
05:33:38,390 --> 05:33:36,958
i can't sing happy birthday so someone

5350
05:33:49,830 --> 05:33:38,400
will have to leave that off a little bit

5351
05:33:54,470 --> 05:33:53,350
pad 65 we have yc student launch

5352
05:33:57,030 --> 05:33:54,480
this is

5353
05:33:57,910 --> 05:33:57,040
yam hill carton high school carlton high

5354
05:34:00,310 --> 05:33:57,920
school

5355
05:34:04,788 --> 05:34:00,320
in yam hill oregon the name of this

5356
05:34:06,788 --> 05:34:04,798
rocket is mind blown it is 28.8 pounds

5357
05:34:09,110 --> 05:34:06,798
five and a half inches in diameter

5358
05:34:12,070 --> 05:34:09,120
nine feet two inches tall thrust to

5359
05:34:13,110 --> 05:34:12,080
weight is 6.5 it's supposed to go 3 700

5360
05:34:16,310 --> 05:34:13,120
feet

5361
05:34:17,830 --> 05:34:16,320
to apogee although they also say 2500

5362
05:34:19,510 --> 05:34:17,840
feet so we've got two different sets of

5363
05:34:20,548 --> 05:34:19,520
notes on here we'll find out how high it

5364
05:34:24,230 --> 05:34:20,558
goes

5365
05:34:26,708 --> 05:34:24,240
it's flying on an air um aerotech k480

5366
05:34:30,230 --> 05:34:26,718
so this one's not going to take off as

5367
05:34:33,190 --> 05:34:30,240
fast if i'm reading that right k480

5368
05:34:35,830 --> 05:34:33,200
this does have a simulated gelatin brain

5369
05:34:38,390 --> 05:34:35,840
that uses multiple three axis

5370
05:34:40,788 --> 05:34:38,400
accelerometers to record

5371
05:34:43,670 --> 05:34:40,798
impact in compressions

5372
05:34:46,350 --> 05:34:43,680
to assess brain injuries in space flight

5373
05:34:48,150 --> 05:34:46,360
passengers so this is one of the sli

5374
05:34:49,430 --> 05:34:48,160
competitions

5375
05:34:50,548 --> 05:34:49,440
the other thing i noticed with this

5376
05:34:53,270 --> 05:34:50,558
rocket

5377
05:34:55,510 --> 05:34:53,280
has an incredible paint job on it and i

5378
05:34:57,910 --> 05:34:55,520
actually saw some etching in the fins of

5379
05:35:00,230 --> 05:34:57,920
a pattern so it's got a really cool hot

5380
05:35:02,150 --> 05:35:00,240
rod paint job theme to it's even got

5381
05:35:04,230 --> 05:35:02,160
flames on there saw some metallic paint

5382
05:35:05,590 --> 05:35:04,240
into it i don't know who on that team is

5383
05:35:07,670 --> 05:35:05,600
a master painter but they've definitely

5384
05:35:09,910 --> 05:35:07,680
got the style points figured out

5385
05:35:13,350 --> 05:35:09,920
okay we will go to pad 65 we're going to

5386
05:35:15,430 --> 05:35:13,360
launch mind blown aerotech k480

5387
05:35:17,190 --> 05:35:15,440
thumbs up for the clear sky

5388
05:35:30,470 --> 05:35:17,200
clear range we're going to launch in

5389
05:35:34,868 --> 05:35:32,868
nice little bit longer burn on that

5390
05:35:36,628 --> 05:35:34,878
again this is supposed to simulate

5391
05:35:39,190 --> 05:35:36,638
the brain so i didn't need to take off

5392
05:35:40,628 --> 05:35:39,200
as fast or as punchy that's why they

5393
05:35:42,548 --> 05:35:40,638
chose that motor

5394
05:35:44,948 --> 05:35:42,558
we have an event

5395
05:35:46,788 --> 05:35:44,958
hopefully the brain is still okay not a

5396
05:35:50,150 --> 05:35:46,798
real brain it's just a simulated gel

5397
05:35:51,350 --> 05:35:50,160
brain main is set for 700 feet on this

5398
05:35:52,948 --> 05:35:51,360
rocket

5399
05:35:54,788 --> 05:35:52,958
you can see that nice reflection it's

5400
05:35:58,948 --> 05:35:54,798
got a really good paint job nice clear

5401
05:36:04,548 --> 05:36:01,110
and this does have the three axis

5402
05:36:06,070 --> 05:36:04,558
accelerometers to record and measure the

5403
05:36:09,030 --> 05:36:06,080
impacts and compressions on the

5404
05:36:10,868 --> 05:36:09,040
simulated gel brain

5405
05:36:13,270 --> 05:36:10,878
and this one is kind of coming towards

5406
05:36:18,628 --> 05:36:13,280
us at the lco desk

5407
05:36:24,548 --> 05:36:21,510
we're about a thousand feet up right now

5408
05:36:27,190 --> 05:36:24,558
coming up on 750 right there

5409
05:36:29,350 --> 05:36:27,200
and then there's their backup

5410
05:36:30,708 --> 05:36:29,360
so we have the wind going off to the

5411
05:36:32,708 --> 05:36:30,718
west a little bit so hopefully that

5412
05:36:34,948 --> 05:36:32,718
helps us a little bit keeps it over in

5413
05:36:36,948 --> 05:36:34,958
the wheat

5414
05:36:38,310 --> 05:36:36,958
gotta watch this one a little bit make

5415
05:36:40,150 --> 05:36:38,320
sure it's

5416
05:36:42,070 --> 05:36:40,160
so you can see when it shifts directions

5417
05:36:43,190 --> 05:36:42,080
pretty quickly that's the surface level

5418
05:36:48,310 --> 05:36:43,200
winds

5419
05:36:54,310 --> 05:36:50,390
but that's a definite good looking

5420
05:37:03,750 --> 05:36:54,320
textbook flight nice job team

5421
05:37:10,070 --> 05:37:07,350
okay on pad number 80 we have

5422
05:37:12,390 --> 05:37:10,080
university of north dakota and this says

5423
05:37:14,470 --> 05:37:12,400
university of north dakota at a grand

5424
05:37:16,548 --> 05:37:14,480
forks north dakota

5425
05:37:18,470 --> 05:37:16,558
the name of this rocket

5426
05:37:21,190 --> 05:37:18,480
i think it says just mike i think the

5427
05:37:24,548 --> 05:37:21,200
name of the rocket is mike

5428
05:37:27,430 --> 05:37:24,558
37 pounds six inch in diameter

5429
05:37:29,430 --> 05:37:27,440
almost ten and a half feet tall

5430
05:37:31,590 --> 05:37:29,440
and this says we have a payload that

5431
05:37:35,510 --> 05:37:31,600
ejects specifically

5432
05:37:37,190 --> 05:37:35,520
from the rocket the projected altitude

5433
05:37:40,070 --> 05:37:37,200
is six thousand feet but they're

5434
05:37:42,470 --> 05:37:40,080
thinking it's going to do 5925

5435
05:37:44,470 --> 05:37:42,480
feet with the current wind and how it's

5436
05:37:46,470 --> 05:37:44,480
pointed down range

5437
05:37:48,548 --> 05:37:46,480
does have a hawk telemetry system that

5438
05:37:50,708 --> 05:37:48,558
utilizes a three radio system to

5439
05:37:52,788 --> 05:37:50,718
triangulate rocket location

5440
05:37:55,110 --> 05:37:52,798
one radio and rocket one radio

5441
05:37:55,990 --> 05:37:55,120
separating payload and one at the base

5442
05:37:58,070 --> 05:37:56,000
station

5443
05:38:00,548 --> 05:37:58,080
uses shielded antennas

5444
05:38:03,190 --> 05:38:00,558
to find angles

5445
05:38:04,628 --> 05:38:03,200
and they actually did uh paint on the

5446
05:38:06,150 --> 05:38:04,638
side of the rocket they did paint their

5447
05:38:07,270 --> 05:38:06,160
instagram handle so they wanted to make

5448
05:38:08,390 --> 05:38:07,280
sure everyone was following their

5449
05:38:10,948 --> 05:38:08,400
instagram

5450
05:38:12,470 --> 05:38:10,958
the rocket was also originally red but

5451
05:38:15,030 --> 05:38:12,480
for being north dakota they wanted to

5452
05:38:17,910 --> 05:38:15,040
change the colors and paint it green

5453
05:38:21,190 --> 05:38:17,920
okay on pad number 80. oh this is flying

5454
05:38:24,628 --> 05:38:21,200
on an l 1420 red line

5455
05:38:26,948 --> 05:38:24,638
main set for 600 feet pad 80 we are

5456
05:38:30,310 --> 05:38:26,958
going to launch mike clear sky

5457
05:38:34,708 --> 05:38:30,320
clear range we will launch in five four

5458
05:38:40,230 --> 05:38:34,718
three two one ignition

5459
05:38:47,670 --> 05:38:44,310
i don't think that's gonna go 5900 feet

5460
05:38:53,030 --> 05:38:47,680
that's probably more of a 3 500 4 000

5461
05:39:16,708 --> 05:38:56,070
there's an event there's it's back up

5462
05:39:21,510 --> 05:39:19,590
and so the main on this one

5463
05:39:24,230 --> 05:39:21,520
again is

5464
05:39:26,310 --> 05:39:24,240
600 feet and the there is a piece that

5465
05:39:31,190 --> 05:39:26,320
does separate from it and it is supposed

5466
05:39:36,470 --> 05:39:34,788
oh okay it's about 2000 feet right now

5467
05:39:39,510 --> 05:39:36,480
it's coming in at a thousand feet

5468
05:39:42,230 --> 05:39:39,520
probably 750.

5469
05:39:45,190 --> 05:39:42,240
we should be 600 here about now so we

5470
05:39:47,190 --> 05:39:45,200
should see an event

5471
05:39:49,030 --> 05:39:47,200
they are 600 feet

5472
05:39:50,628 --> 05:39:49,040
so again there's a part that separates

5473
05:39:54,150 --> 05:39:50,638
from it that's what it's supposed to do

5474
05:39:59,030 --> 05:39:54,160
but it's kind of coming in pretty quick

5475
05:40:03,030 --> 05:40:00,070
i don't know if there's anything under

5476
05:40:05,590 --> 05:40:03,040
that parachute but uh that

5477
05:40:10,948 --> 05:40:05,600
a little bit of a healthier landing

5478
05:40:17,750 --> 05:40:14,548
is this the last rocket for this event

5479
05:40:22,948 --> 05:40:20,070
okay this is one of the last rockets for

5480
05:40:24,948 --> 05:40:22,958
this round of flying

5481
05:40:28,070 --> 05:40:24,958
the name of this rocket is called rocket

5482
05:40:29,510 --> 05:40:28,080
royals 2.0 this is victory christian

5483
05:40:32,390 --> 05:40:29,520
center school out of charlotte north

5484
05:40:34,150 --> 05:40:32,400
carolina oh this team is pumped they're

5485
05:40:36,548 --> 05:40:34,160
already excited it hasn't even taken off

5486
05:40:39,510 --> 05:40:36,558
yet i love it love the energy

5487
05:40:42,070 --> 05:40:39,520
the name of this rocket is faith 2.0

5488
05:40:44,150 --> 05:40:42,080
weighs 24 pounds four inches in diameter

5489
05:40:45,990 --> 05:40:44,160
is nine feet tall

5490
05:40:49,110 --> 05:40:46,000
this rocket does have a

5491
05:40:50,948 --> 05:40:49,120
comparative analysis of seeds

5492
05:40:53,910 --> 05:40:50,958
that

5493
05:40:57,350 --> 05:40:53,920
run in hydroponic conditions after

5494
05:40:58,948 --> 05:40:57,360
exposure to higher altitude and pressure

5495
05:41:00,708 --> 05:40:58,958
they will grow they will measure the

5496
05:41:03,430 --> 05:41:00,718
growth rates

5497
05:41:05,590 --> 05:41:03,440
in the change based on the culture

5498
05:41:06,948 --> 05:41:05,600
and the ones that were exposed to the

5499
05:41:18,310 --> 05:41:06,958
altitude

5500
05:41:28,628 --> 05:41:21,270
and this rocket is flying on a cicerone

5501
05:41:33,830 --> 05:41:30,390
the other thing with other thing with

5502
05:41:36,708 --> 05:41:33,840
this rocket they did call it faith 2.0

5503
05:41:39,350 --> 05:41:36,718
faith 1.0 didn't do as well so they just

5504
05:41:42,230 --> 05:41:39,360
did a new one called it faith 2.0

5505
05:41:44,310 --> 05:41:42,240
i also did see with this rocket it has

5506
05:41:45,430 --> 05:41:44,320
thimbles as its charge wells i've never

5507
05:41:47,430 --> 05:41:45,440
seen that i've seen a lot of unique

5508
05:41:49,350 --> 05:41:47,440
things for charge wells never seen

5509
05:41:51,430 --> 05:41:49,360
thimbles used they did kind of look like

5510
05:41:53,110 --> 05:41:51,440
engine nozzles that were in there

5511
05:41:55,510 --> 05:41:53,120
i know this team put a lot of hours in

5512
05:41:57,990 --> 05:41:55,520
this project and it is made up of middle

5513
05:42:00,470 --> 05:41:58,000
schoolers and high school students that

5514
05:42:03,510 --> 05:42:00,480
were advisors to it i also thought was

5515
05:42:05,670 --> 05:42:03,520
really cool this project the mentor of

5516
05:42:07,590 --> 05:42:05,680
the group wanted to be an astronaut well

5517
05:42:09,350 --> 05:42:07,600
this is pretty darn close to being an

5518
05:42:11,750 --> 05:42:09,360
astronaut being out here today and

5519
05:42:13,750 --> 05:42:11,760
mentoring this team did a lot of driving

5520
05:42:15,190 --> 05:42:13,760
back and forth to make this initial

5521
05:42:16,708 --> 05:42:15,200
flight and they had a lot of help and

5522
05:42:18,470 --> 05:42:16,718
assistance on painting and finishing

5523
05:42:19,910 --> 05:42:18,480
whether it was their parents students

5524
05:42:21,590 --> 05:42:19,920
and even the maintenance person for the

5525
05:42:24,150 --> 05:42:21,600
school helped and assisted in getting

5526
05:42:26,948 --> 05:42:24,160
guidance on paint so we are ready to fly

5527
05:42:29,350 --> 05:42:26,958
faith 2.0 on pad 81.

5528
05:42:32,708 --> 05:42:29,360
clear sky have a thumbs up clear range

5529
05:42:40,310 --> 05:42:32,718
we will launch this rocket in five four

5530
05:42:45,910 --> 05:42:42,150
that one really wanted to take off i

5531
05:42:48,470 --> 05:42:45,920
don't even think i got to ignition yet

5532
05:42:49,590 --> 05:42:48,480
supposed to go 5800 feet it might be

5533
05:43:11,510 --> 05:42:49,600
doing that

5534
05:43:11,520 --> 05:43:28,150
that one i did not see an event on it

5535
05:43:28,160 --> 05:43:45,270
here

5536
05:43:45,280 --> 05:43:58,390
does anyone have an eye on that one

5537
05:44:07,350 --> 05:44:00,390
is this does anyone still see that one

5538
05:44:11,750 --> 05:44:09,430
this one might have had a very high rate

5539
05:44:24,150 --> 05:44:11,760
of descent and i believe it might be

5540
05:44:29,670 --> 05:44:27,270
range is open

5541
05:44:31,350 --> 05:44:29,680
again just a reminder in recovery don't

5542
05:44:33,670 --> 05:44:31,360
need to send out the whole team to get

5543
05:44:35,990 --> 05:44:33,680
the rocket just get the team members

5544
05:44:38,310 --> 05:44:36,000
that you need for recovery just get the

5545
05:44:39,830 --> 05:44:38,320
ones you only need and then also once

5546
05:44:41,590 --> 05:44:39,840
you're recovering make sure you turn off

5547
05:44:43,910 --> 05:44:41,600
your transmitters

5548
05:44:46,310 --> 05:44:43,920
for the recovery so if you're on 915 you

5549
05:44:49,110 --> 05:44:46,320
want to make sure you get your

5550
05:46:03,010 --> 05:44:49,120
transmitter turned off upon recovery

5551
05:47:30,240 --> 05:46:50,110
[Music]

5552
05:47:45,030 --> 05:47:30,250
hmm

5553
05:50:34,390 --> 05:47:45,040
[Music]

5554
05:51:08,800 --> 05:50:37,220
so

5555
05:52:28,628 --> 05:51:14,000

thanks tracy i'm so glad to be here this

5565
05:53:38,310 --> 05:53:36,080
has been so exciting my first time to

5566
05:53:39,910 --> 05:53:38,320
come to see student launch initiative

5567
05:53:41,590 --> 05:53:39,920
so fun to see the students from whether

5568
05:53:43,590 --> 05:53:41,600
it's middle school students or college

5569
05:53:46,470 --> 05:53:43,600
students so fun to see their work in

5570
05:53:48,310 --> 05:53:46,480
action yes absolutely so again it's so

5571
05:53:50,628 --> 05:53:48,320
good to have you i know you're at

5572
05:53:53,750 --> 05:53:50,638
headquarters so you traveled all the way

5573
05:53:55,110 --> 05:53:53,760
down here to alabama to be with us uh

5574
05:53:58,708 --> 05:53:55,120
mike talk to

5575
05:54:01,510 --> 05:53:58,718
um our folks here today about artemis

5576
05:54:03,670 --> 05:54:01,520
generation and how that connects to the

5577
05:54:05,030 --> 05:54:03,680
student launch initiative right so it's

5578
05:54:06,708 --> 05:54:05,040
so cool to be able to see what's going

5579
05:54:07,990 --> 05:54:06,718
on here because this is just one of many

5580
05:54:09,510 --> 05:54:08,000
different ways that students can get

5581
05:54:10,788 --> 05:54:09,520
involved as you know tracy there are

5582
05:54:12,628 --> 05:54:10,798
students all across the country what i

5583
05:54:13,910 --> 05:54:12,638
love about sli is that we have students

5584
05:54:15,830 --> 05:54:13,920
it's not just something in huntsville or

5585
05:54:17,590 --> 05:54:15,840
just something in houston or florida

5586
05:54:19,030 --> 05:54:17,600
anybody can get involved and the fact

5587
05:54:20,230 --> 05:54:19,040
that we have students that have come

5588
05:54:21,350 --> 05:54:20,240
from different backgrounds different

5589
05:54:23,230 --> 05:54:21,360
experiences

5590
05:54:25,270 --> 05:54:23,240
and and if people go to

5591
05:54:26,470 --> 05:54:25,280
stem.nasa.gov you can learn more about

5592
05:54:28,230 --> 05:54:26,480
other ways that students can get

5593
05:54:29,830 --> 05:54:28,240
involved i'm excited your questions

5594
05:54:31,910 --> 05:54:29,840
about artemis you know this summer we'll

5595
05:54:34,628 --> 05:54:31,920
be launching the first vehicle in 50

5596
05:54:36,070 --> 05:54:34,638
years yes this is so exciting it sure is

5597
05:54:37,830 --> 05:54:36,080
and and the the idea that we'll have the

5598
05:54:39,910 --> 05:54:37,840
first woman the first person of color

5599
05:54:41,190 --> 05:54:39,920
yes eventually land on the moon

5600
05:54:42,390 --> 05:54:41,200
to do that we have to have students from

5601
05:54:43,590 --> 05:54:42,400
all different kinds of backgrounds

5602
05:54:44,948 --> 05:54:43,600
participating

5603
05:54:46,230 --> 05:54:44,958
so we'd love to have you join us there's

5604
05:54:48,070 --> 05:54:46,240
something called the artemis learning

5605
05:54:49,990 --> 05:54:48,080
pathways comes out every tuesday for

5606
05:54:51,990 --> 05:54:50,000
educators to find out what's going on

5607
05:54:54,788 --> 05:54:52,000
and it's a great way for them to to

5608
05:54:56,948 --> 05:54:54,798
follow us at home okay that sounds good

5609
05:55:00,548 --> 05:54:56,958
um mike talk to me just from the

5610
05:55:03,110 --> 05:55:00,558
standpoint of being an observer here

5611
05:55:04,708 --> 05:55:03,120
how i mean i know it's amazing right

5612
05:55:06,470 --> 05:55:04,718
it's so cool and it's such a beautiful

5613
05:55:07,990 --> 05:55:06,480
day today

5614
05:55:09,190 --> 05:55:08,000
talk to me about some of the things that

5615
05:55:11,430 --> 05:55:09,200
you've seen

5616
05:55:13,110 --> 05:55:11,440
what have you learned um what's been

5617
05:55:14,470 --> 05:55:13,120
your best what's been the best part of

5618
05:55:15,430 --> 05:55:14,480
student launch for you so far you know

5619
05:55:16,948 --> 05:55:15,440
i'm so glad you asked that question

5620
05:55:18,628 --> 05:55:16,958
tracy so i brought my 13 year old

5621
05:55:19,910 --> 05:55:18,638
daughter with me and we came here

5622
05:55:21,430 --> 05:55:19,920
yesterday and we were visiting with the

5623
05:55:22,948 --> 05:55:21,440
teams as they were frankly a little

5624
05:55:24,628 --> 05:55:22,958
nervous about getting their rockets

5625
05:55:25,510 --> 05:55:24,638
ready right yes some of them are like we

5626
05:55:27,350 --> 05:55:25,520
don't really want to talk to you right

5627
05:55:29,350 --> 05:55:27,360
now they're very polite but they're like

5628
05:55:30,788 --> 05:55:29,360
we're focused and then some of them had

5629
05:55:32,948 --> 05:55:30,798
a chance to visit with my daughter to

5630
05:55:34,788 --> 05:55:32,958
talk about their perspectives and so to

5631
05:55:37,350 --> 05:55:34,798
to come experience only not only as

5632
05:55:38,708 --> 05:55:37,360
myself but to see how she sees it what a

5633
05:55:40,390 --> 05:55:38,718
fun thing to be able to see i wish

5634
05:55:41,750 --> 05:55:40,400
everyone who's watching us at home had a

5635
05:55:43,270 --> 05:55:41,760
chance to come out here and see the

5636
05:55:44,788 --> 05:55:43,280
passion and the energy that these

5637
05:55:46,628 --> 05:55:44,798
students bring

5638
05:55:48,390 --> 05:55:46,638
and like i said before it doesn't always

5639
05:55:50,150 --> 05:55:48,400
work the way we want to yes yes some of

5640
05:55:52,868 --> 05:55:50,160
these rockets didn't land where we

5641
05:55:54,390 --> 05:55:52,878
expected but we learn more from the

5642
05:55:57,350 --> 05:55:54,400
challenges i think sometimes than the

5643
05:55:59,430 --> 05:55:57,360
easy ones absolutely these are words of

5644
05:56:02,230 --> 05:55:59,440
inspiration we learn more from the

5645
05:56:05,350 --> 05:56:02,240
challenges amen okay don't forget that

5646
05:56:08,390 --> 05:56:05,360
so last question for you mike i just

5647
05:56:11,430 --> 05:56:08,400
know that there are people at home that

5648
05:56:13,990 --> 05:56:11,440
are watching uh there are young students

5649
05:56:15,750 --> 05:56:14,000
there are maybe older people who are

5650
05:56:19,030 --> 05:56:15,760
wondering how do i get involved with

5651
05:56:20,470 --> 05:56:19,040
nasa how can i get involved with

5652
05:56:22,390 --> 05:56:20,480
things like this

5653
05:56:24,230 --> 05:56:22,400
uh what advice can you give to them

5654
05:56:25,788 --> 05:56:24,240
thanks tracy's great question again i

5655
05:56:27,590 --> 05:56:25,798
always like talk about

5656
05:56:29,430 --> 05:56:27,600
stem.nasa.gov because you can find all

5657
05:56:31,350 --> 05:56:29,440
kinds of information and i'll also

5658
05:56:33,910 --> 05:56:31,360
mention something called nasa express it

comes out every thursday 56 000 people

5660
05:56:37,190 --> 05:56:35,520
get it gets all the different ways that

5661
05:56:38,868 --> 05:56:37,200
you can get involved in stem engagement

5662
05:56:40,788 --> 05:56:38,878
at nasa you know student launch

5663
05:56:42,948 --> 05:56:40,798
initiative is one that you know we're we

just north of huntsville alabama

5675
05:57:09,830 --> 05:57:07,120
for the 2022 launch this is amazing

5676
05:57:11,430 --> 05:57:09,840
because we've been here so many years

5677
05:57:13,190 --> 05:57:11,440
doing this we've seen

5678
05:57:15,430 --> 05:57:13,200
new teams we've seen teams that have

5679
05:57:17,750 --> 05:57:15,440
been back time and time again

5680
05:57:19,830 --> 05:57:17,760

[Music]

5691
06:03:20,868 --> 06:03:19,270
hi welcome back to student launch 2022

5692
06:03:22,470 --> 06:03:20,878
i'm kay anderson with northrop grumman

5693
06:03:23,910 --> 06:03:22,480
and i'm here with jill eskew also

5694
06:03:25,910 --> 06:03:23,920
northrop grumman and we were just

5695
06:03:27,190 --> 06:03:25,920
comparing notes to try to remember how

5696
06:03:29,350 --> 06:03:27,200
many years we've been coming out to this

5697
06:03:31,350 --> 06:03:29,360
event jill what year did you pin down i

5698
06:03:35,270 --> 06:03:31,360
think i started coming around out around

5699
06:03:36,628 --> 06:03:35,280
2012 2013 so it's been a few years just

5700
06:03:38,788 --> 06:03:36,638
a few and what what are some of your

5701
06:03:41,110 --> 06:03:38,798
more vivid memories over the years wow

5702
06:03:43,510 --> 06:03:41,120
we have had so much variable weather

5703
06:03:46,150 --> 06:03:43,520
we're in north alabama and so april and

5704
06:03:48,628 --> 06:03:46,160
north alabama can be freezing or it can

5705
06:03:50,230 --> 06:03:48,638
be sweltering and so we have been out

5706
06:03:53,110 --> 06:03:50,240
here i think the last time we were out

5707
06:03:55,190 --> 06:03:53,120
here it was just barely above freezing

5708
06:03:57,430 --> 06:03:55,200
so we were really cold we've been out

5709
06:03:59,990 --> 06:03:57,440
here when it was just a torrential

5710
06:04:03,190 --> 06:04:00,000
downpour beforehand and we had

5711
06:04:05,670 --> 06:04:03,200
inches of mud caked on our feet

5712
06:04:08,230 --> 06:04:05,680
today it has been incredibly windy so

5713
06:04:10,310 --> 06:04:08,240
we're all very wind blown and we had an

5714
06:04:12,470 --> 06:04:10,320
event today as a result of the wind one

5715
06:04:15,030 --> 06:04:12,480
of the rockets came down and actually

5716
06:04:16,708 --> 06:04:15,040
smashed through a team van window so

5717
06:04:18,628 --> 06:04:16,718
that will be a memory for that team for

5718
06:04:20,150 --> 06:04:18,638
sure yes so

5719
06:04:21,670 --> 06:04:20,160
um you do a lot of stem outreach and i

5720
06:04:23,670 --> 06:04:21,680
know we really appreciate that your

5721
06:04:25,510 --> 06:04:23,680
efforts with students tell us about

5722
06:04:27,910 --> 06:04:25,520
northrop grumman's role and sponsorship

5723
06:04:30,230 --> 06:04:27,920
though with this event right so northrop

5724
06:04:33,510 --> 06:04:30,240
grumman has been sponsoring this event

5725
06:04:37,110 --> 06:04:33,520
since 2007. we became the premier

5726
06:04:40,230 --> 06:04:37,120
sponsor in 2008 but at that time we were

5727
06:04:41,990 --> 06:04:40,240
atk and then we became orbital atk and

5728
06:04:43,990 --> 06:04:42,000
then we became northrop grumman so it's

5729
06:04:45,590 --> 06:04:44,000
the same company but our name has

5730
06:04:47,990 --> 06:04:45,600
changed but we've been loving that

5731
06:04:49,990 --> 06:04:48,000
sponsorship and plan to keep doing it we

5732
06:04:51,430 --> 06:04:50,000
do it's our favorite event every year

5733
06:04:52,708 --> 06:04:51,440
and just glad to be in person this year

5734
06:04:55,510 --> 06:04:52,718
i think i've said that every time i've

5735
06:04:57,270 --> 06:04:55,520
talked um tell me a little bit about

5736
06:04:59,910 --> 06:04:57,280
why this kind of event is so important

5737
06:05:02,310 --> 06:04:59,920
for students i think this event is so

5738
06:05:05,030 --> 06:05:02,320
incredible because it mimics so much of

5739
06:05:08,390 --> 06:05:05,040
real life whenever you have a complex

5740
06:05:10,708 --> 06:05:08,400
program everything is hinged off

5741
06:05:12,470 --> 06:05:10,718
technical competence and this gives the

5742
06:05:14,948 --> 06:05:12,480
students a real

5743
06:05:16,470 --> 06:05:14,958
opportunity to use what they've learned

5744
06:05:18,230 --> 06:05:16,480
but the other thing you have to have is

5745
06:05:19,830 --> 06:05:18,240
good communication

5746
06:05:21,750 --> 06:05:19,840
if you're the smartest engineer in the

5747
06:05:22,788 --> 06:05:21,760
entire world and you can't share what

5748
06:05:27,190 --> 06:05:22,798
you know

5749
06:05:29,750 --> 06:05:27,200
then here they have to go through the

5750
06:05:32,390 --> 06:05:29,760
same reviews that we go through with our

5751
06:05:34,548 --> 06:05:32,400
big sls rocket so they go through a

5752
06:05:37,430 --> 06:05:34,558
preliminary design review a critical

5753
06:05:39,830 --> 06:05:37,440
design review a flight readiness review

5754
06:05:42,230 --> 06:05:39,840
and what that tells them and how that

5755
06:05:44,230 --> 06:05:42,240
mimics what we do is we have to tell our

5756
06:05:45,990 --> 06:05:44,240
customer that what we're giving them

5757
06:05:47,830 --> 06:05:46,000
meets the technical requirements for

5758
06:05:49,590 --> 06:05:47,840
what they're asking for and meets the

5759
06:05:52,070 --> 06:05:49,600
safety requirements so that

5760
06:05:55,590 --> 06:05:52,080
communication is really important i

5761
06:05:57,990 --> 06:05:55,600
think the third thing is teamwork

5762
06:06:01,110 --> 06:05:58,000
teamwork has to be

5763
06:06:03,590 --> 06:06:01,120
excellent to do anything complex

5764
06:06:05,270 --> 06:06:03,600
we have component teams we have

5765
06:06:08,230 --> 06:06:05,280
component teams that have to integrate

5766
06:06:09,750 --> 06:06:08,240
together to make the sls rocket and then

5767
06:06:11,670 --> 06:06:09,760
you have to have

5768
06:06:14,310 --> 06:06:11,680
even various companies integrate

5769
06:06:16,628 --> 06:06:14,320
together to make that whole sls vehicle

5770
06:06:18,708 --> 06:06:16,638
and these students get to

5771
06:06:21,190 --> 06:06:18,718
experience the same thing because on

5772
06:06:23,510 --> 06:06:21,200
launch day you either all fail together

5773
06:06:25,510 --> 06:06:23,520
or you all launch successfully together

5774
06:06:27,670 --> 06:06:25,520
and so that's what teamwork's about it's

5775
06:06:28,868 --> 06:06:27,680
really helping each other out

5776
06:06:30,868 --> 06:06:28,878
that's awesome thank you for that

5777
06:06:32,310 --> 06:06:30,878
perspective you mentioned just a little

5778
06:06:33,990 --> 06:06:32,320
bit ago that northrop grumman makes a

5779
06:06:35,670 --> 06:06:34,000
rocket motor that's really similar to

5780
06:06:37,270 --> 06:06:35,680
the rockets we're seeing today right so

5781
06:06:39,830 --> 06:06:37,280
northrop grumman makes a lot of solid

5782
06:06:41,350 --> 06:06:39,840
rocket motors in various sizes but

5783
06:06:43,590 --> 06:06:41,360
somebody had mentioned well do you make

5784
06:06:45,750 --> 06:06:43,600
any this size and we do have several

5785
06:06:47,590 --> 06:06:45,760
motors in the tactical area that may be

5786
06:06:49,830 --> 06:06:47,600
around this size but one of the more

5787
06:06:52,708 --> 06:06:49,840
interesting motors we're working on is

5788
06:06:55,430 --> 06:06:52,718
the mars ascent vehicle and that vehicle

5789
06:06:57,030 --> 06:06:55,440
will be what um return samples from mars

5790
06:06:59,510 --> 06:06:57,040
and it will be the first rocket to

5791
06:07:01,350 --> 06:06:59,520
launch off of another planet so that's

5792
06:07:03,110 --> 06:07:01,360
kind of exciting that's crazy and that's

5793
06:07:04,390 --> 06:07:03,120
really super interesting yeah and so

5794
06:07:06,230 --> 06:07:04,400
thank you jill for sharing your

5795
06:07:07,830 --> 06:07:06,240
perspective thank you

5796
06:07:13,320 --> 06:07:07,840
we'll talk to you later all right thank

5797
06:08:19,590 --> 06:07:40,520
[Music]

5798
06:08:19,600 --> 06:08:26,540
so

5799
06:08:26,550 --> 06:09:09,590
[Music]

5800
06:09:12,788 --> 06:09:10,708
so we're here with izzy you guys are

5801
06:09:14,390 --> 06:09:12,798
from yam hill high and that's in oregon

5802
06:09:15,910 --> 06:09:14,400
right yes yamaha carlton high school

5803
06:09:18,070 --> 06:09:15,920
cool and this is i'm going to call it

5804
06:09:20,390 --> 06:09:18,080
the young frankenstein rocket because

5805
06:09:22,150 --> 06:09:20,400
it's it had a brain inside it uh not a

5806
06:09:24,708 --> 06:09:22,160
real brain though right is that right no

5807
06:09:26,788 --> 06:09:24,718
it is a kind of like ballistics gel it's

5808
06:09:28,150 --> 06:09:26,798
gelatin and agarose so what were you

5809
06:09:30,788 --> 06:09:28,160
doing with that other than launching it

5810
06:09:34,310 --> 06:09:30,798
into the air so we're concussion testing

5811
06:09:36,470 --> 06:09:34,320
in rocket flight because as passengers

5812
06:09:39,270 --> 06:09:36,480
are starting to be in rockets more often

5813
06:09:40,948 --> 06:09:39,280
doing these tests can help be helpful so

5814
06:09:42,948 --> 06:09:40,958
we decided that we were going to put

5815
06:09:44,628 --> 06:09:42,958
three axis accelerometers inside of

5816
06:09:47,270 --> 06:09:44,638
ballistics a ballistics gel like

5817
06:09:49,830 --> 06:09:47,280
material and test to see what the

5818
06:09:51,590 --> 06:09:49,840
likelihood for traumatic brain injury

5819
06:09:52,948 --> 06:09:51,600
and

5820
06:09:55,990 --> 06:09:52,958
di de

5821
06:09:57,750 --> 06:09:56,000
actional injury i forget how to say it

5822
06:10:00,470 --> 06:09:57,760
but um two different types of energies

5823
06:10:02,708 --> 06:10:00,480
so one's more of compression that's the

5824
06:10:05,030 --> 06:10:02,718
one inside the brain so we're going to

5825
06:10:07,110 --> 06:10:05,040
put in vectors and ton of mathematical

5826
06:10:09,270 --> 06:10:07,120
stuff to figure out how much that brain

5827
06:10:11,190 --> 06:10:09,280
compressed and if it's in with within a

5828
06:10:12,310 --> 06:10:11,200
certain amount then that causes a

5829
06:10:15,190 --> 06:10:12,320
concussion

5830
06:10:16,708 --> 06:10:15,200
and we're also putting a sensor on our

5831
06:10:18,628 --> 06:10:16,718
um

5832
06:10:20,708 --> 06:10:18,638
3d printed canister that is holding the

5833
06:10:22,868 --> 06:10:20,718
brain and that's testing for a traumatic

5834
06:10:24,708 --> 06:10:22,878
brain injury so that one's just flat

5835
06:10:27,110 --> 06:10:24,718
numbers and we're using similar

5836
06:10:29,670 --> 06:10:27,120
mathematics that they use when they're

5837
06:10:31,830 --> 06:10:29,680
testing concussion risk in cars oh cool

5838
06:10:33,830 --> 06:10:31,840
okay awesome and so did that affect the

5839
06:10:35,190 --> 06:10:33,840
way that you i mean did that affect like

5840
06:10:36,948 --> 06:10:35,200
your launch velocities any of that kind

5841
06:10:38,150 --> 06:10:36,958
of stuff did you i mean there's several

5842
06:10:39,910 --> 06:10:38,160
other rockets that we talked that we saw

5843
06:10:41,670 --> 06:10:39,920
that were like launched that really they

5844
06:10:43,350 --> 06:10:41,680
really took off did you guys slide down

5845
06:10:45,910 --> 06:10:43,360
any or were you did you take that

5846
06:10:48,788 --> 06:10:45,920
into consideration yeah so we used the

5847
06:10:51,510 --> 06:10:48,798
k480 motor and that has a very low

5848
06:10:53,430 --> 06:10:51,520
thrust to try to simulate as close to

5849
06:10:56,390 --> 06:10:53,440
actual rocket flight as possible uh

5850
06:10:57,510 --> 06:10:56,400
human marketplace yeah yeah all right so

5851
06:10:59,430 --> 06:10:57,520
do you guys have any any sponsors

5852
06:11:02,628 --> 06:10:59,440
anybody you guys want to thank um so

5853
06:11:07,510 --> 06:11:04,948
big thank you to them

5854
06:11:09,190 --> 06:11:07,520
breaking bad science a podcast a big

5855
06:11:15,430 --> 06:11:09,200
thank you to them we actually have an

5856
06:11:21,590 --> 06:11:19,750

and it's been a lot of fun but this has

5897
06:14:40,788 --> 06:14:38,878
definitely been the highlight of my

5898
06:14:42,390 --> 06:14:40,798
internship getting to come and see

5899
06:14:44,548 --> 06:14:42,400
everyone in person

know this is this is very good i'm glad

5903
06:14:54,948 --> 06:14:52,320
that we're talking

5904
06:14:57,270 --> 06:14:54,958
nasa is a technical organization right

5905
06:14:59,990 --> 06:14:57,280
we're here at this student launch

5906
06:15:02,390 --> 06:15:00,000
a lot of people think that if you want

5907
06:15:05,670 --> 06:15:02,400
to work for nasa you have to be a

5908
06:15:08,310 --> 06:15:05,680
scientist or an engineer tell me about

5909
06:15:10,868 --> 06:15:08,320
your educational backgrounds and what

5910
06:15:13,270 --> 06:15:10,878
exactly you did in your internships in

5911
06:15:15,270 --> 06:15:13,280
that area absolutely well i have a

5912
06:15:16,548 --> 06:15:15,280
bachelor's in public relations and i

5913
06:15:17,990 --> 06:15:16,558
have a master's in strategic

5914
06:15:21,270 --> 06:15:18,000
communication so i'm in the

5915
06:15:22,868 --> 06:15:21,280
communications realm at nasa and

5916
06:15:24,548 --> 06:15:22,878
communications is so important here at

5917
06:15:26,310 --> 06:15:24,558
nasa we have various science and

5918
06:15:28,628 --> 06:15:26,320
technical things that we have to relay

5919
06:15:30,150 --> 06:15:28,638
to the public so being able to have a

5920
06:15:30,868 --> 06:15:30,160
communication background and being able

5921
06:15:33,990 --> 06:15:30,878
to

5922
06:15:36,070 --> 06:15:34,000
relay that science information out in an

5923
06:15:39,510 --> 06:15:36,080
understandable way it's it's so

5924
06:15:42,230 --> 06:15:39,520
important you know and so in my area

5925
06:15:43,830 --> 06:15:42,240
we've done everything from graphics to

5926
06:15:46,230 --> 06:15:43,840
photo to

5927
06:15:47,350 --> 06:15:46,240
just social media tweeting out stuff so

5928
06:15:50,070 --> 06:15:47,360
it's very important to have

5929
06:15:52,230 --> 06:15:50,080
communications and and arts and so many

5930
06:15:54,868 --> 06:15:52,240
other fields other than just stem fields

5931
06:15:58,150 --> 06:15:54,878
yes yeah so i just finished my junior

5932
06:15:59,750 --> 06:15:58,160
year at uah and marketing

5933
06:16:01,670 --> 06:15:59,760
and i've been working with

5934
06:16:04,230 --> 06:16:01,680
student launch and herc with their

5935
06:16:05,750 --> 06:16:04,240
different social media channels and i

5936
06:16:07,750 --> 06:16:05,760
just think it's super important that

5937
06:16:09,990 --> 06:16:07,760
people know that

5938
06:16:12,548 --> 06:16:10,000
you know stem or nasa is not all just

5939
06:16:15,510 --> 06:16:12,558
about stem people in communications and

5940
06:16:18,150 --> 06:16:15,520
marketing they have a place here at nasa

5941
06:16:20,310 --> 06:16:18,160
and if you want an internship and an

5942
06:16:22,948 --> 06:16:20,320
opportunity like apply there's there's

5943
06:16:25,030 --> 06:16:22,958
places for you here at nasa and i think

5944
06:16:27,110 --> 06:16:25,040
we're proof of that

5945
06:16:30,150 --> 06:16:27,120
you guys are you ladies are absolutely

5946
06:16:31,590 --> 06:16:30,160
proof of that last question for you all

5947
06:16:34,868 --> 06:16:31,600
uh if you

5948
06:16:36,868 --> 06:16:34,878
had to give one piece of advice

5949
06:16:38,708 --> 06:16:36,878
to people listening

5950
06:16:41,670 --> 06:16:38,718
that say you know what

5951
06:16:45,110 --> 06:16:41,680
i think i might want to be an intern at

5952
06:16:46,868 --> 06:16:45,120
nasa what advice would you give them

5953
06:16:49,350 --> 06:16:46,878
i would say just don't give up on that

5954
06:16:50,868 --> 06:16:49,360
dream i mean the whole reason that i

5955
06:16:52,070 --> 06:16:50,878
even thought about an internship at nasa

5956
06:16:55,030 --> 06:16:52,080
was because i watched the movie hidden

5957
06:16:56,948 --> 06:16:55,040
figures and that movie inspired me to

5958
06:16:59,350 --> 06:16:56,958
apply and i never thought in a million

5959
06:17:01,670 --> 06:16:59,360
years that i would get accepted and i

5960
06:17:03,510 --> 06:17:01,680
sure did i got a call and got accepted

5961
06:17:05,430 --> 06:17:03,520
came here and it was a dream come true

5962
06:17:06,788 --> 06:17:05,440
so i think it's just don't give up you

5963
06:17:08,548 --> 06:17:06,798
may think there's no way they would

5964
06:17:10,788 --> 06:17:08,558
accept me well you're wrong there's so

5965
06:17:12,470 --> 06:17:10,798
many people here at nasa from so many

5966

to let you guys introduce yourselves

6038
06:42:27,510 --> 06:42:25,360

singh and i'm a co-captain on this team

6040
06:42:30,548 --> 06:42:29,040
and uh i'm matthew and i'm also the

6041
06:42:31,670 --> 06:42:30,558
co-captain of this team and so you guys

6042
06:42:34,070 --> 06:42:31,680
already launched right you launched in

6043
06:42:36,390 --> 06:42:34,080
the last volley yep how'd it go it went

6044
06:42:37,910 --> 06:42:36,400
really well we um there's a few things

6045
06:42:40,150 --> 06:42:37,920
that we can learn from our parachute

6046
06:42:41,670 --> 06:42:40,160
didn't deploy all the way which uh we

6047
06:42:44,230 --> 06:42:41,680
analyzed why that happened and that's a

6048
06:42:45,830 --> 06:42:44,240
great learning experience for us but um

6049
06:42:48,070 --> 06:42:45,840
other than that it was a great flight

6050
06:42:50,230 --> 06:42:48,080
and went straight up and it was just as

6051
06:42:51,270 --> 06:42:50,240
we expected good awesome and what was

6052
06:42:53,590 --> 06:42:51,280
your payload

6053
06:42:56,708 --> 06:42:53,600
uh our payload was just uh tracking the

6054
06:42:58,868 --> 06:42:56,718
location of the rocket using a gps uh so

6055
06:43:00,070 --> 06:42:58,878
yeah and uh what was your what was the

6056
06:43:02,390 --> 06:43:00,080
was the altitude you guys were shooting

6057
06:43:05,830 --> 06:43:02,400
for uh we were shooting for 5000 feet

6058
06:43:07,910 --> 06:43:05,840
and it only went 4 500 feet which um we

6059
06:43:10,070 --> 06:43:07,920
think that we could figure out why that

6060
06:43:11,510 --> 06:43:10,080
happened later at home using simulations

6061
06:43:13,030 --> 06:43:11,520
and using other data that we gathered

6062
06:43:15,190 --> 06:43:13,040
today so you guys would gather a lot of

6063
06:43:16,070 --> 06:43:15,200
data then awesome yeah good deal is

6064
06:43:17,590 --> 06:43:16,080

6065
06:43:19,590 --> 06:43:17,600

6088
06:45:10,910 --> 06:44:29,040
and

6089
06:45:28,390 --> 06:45:12,788
[Music]

6090
06:45:28,400 --> 06:46:03,080

6091
06:46:08,710 --> 06:46:06,230
[Music]

6092
06:46:28,070 --> 06:46:08,720
so

6093
06:46:30,580 --> 06:46:28,080
have folded it in two small pieces in my

6094
06:46:33,590 --> 06:46:30,590
pocket so with north carolina

6095
06:46:35,830 --> 06:46:33,600
[Music]

6096
06:46:38,468 --> 06:46:35,840
yes so that was

6097
06:46:40,390 --> 06:46:38,478
yes they had the water ground station

6098
06:46:43,270 --> 06:46:40,400
oh the thing that i found interesting

6099
06:46:45,430 --> 06:46:43,280
about tacos lycos that does translate to

6100
06:46:47,270 --> 06:46:45,440
speedy wolf

6101
06:46:49,830 --> 06:46:47,280
and you should ask the team about the

6102
06:46:51,030 --> 06:46:49,840
screwdriver in their body tube so that's

6103
06:46:52,948 --> 06:46:51,040
uh

6104
06:46:54,230 --> 06:46:52,958
that was interesting

6105
06:46:56,230 --> 06:46:54,240
make sure they gotta check for their

6106
06:46:58,070 --> 06:46:56,240
tools

6107
06:46:59,510 --> 06:46:58,080
and i've seen a lot in my lifetime but

6108
06:47:01,350 --> 06:46:59,520
i've never seen the size of a

6109
06:47:02,788 --> 06:47:01,360
screwdriver one of the team members is

6110
06:47:04,548 --> 06:47:02,798
carrying it's like a three foot long

6111
06:47:05,990 --> 06:47:04,558
screwdriver

6112
06:47:07,350 --> 06:47:06,000
the other

6113
06:47:08,708 --> 06:47:07,360
note about the

6114
06:47:10,468 --> 06:47:08,718
about the group

6115
06:47:11,990 --> 06:47:10,478
they have something called joseph's

6116
06:47:13,270 --> 06:47:12,000
mallet so i guess when something just

6117
06:47:15,510 --> 06:47:13,280
doesn't go their way in terms of

6118
06:47:19,110 --> 06:47:15,520
building the rocket

6119
06:47:21,990 --> 06:47:19,120
just grab joseph's mallet

6120
06:47:25,590 --> 06:47:22,000
there we go folks

6121
06:47:27,350 --> 06:47:25,600
just one more rocket so it looks like

6122
06:47:29,190 --> 06:47:27,360
the university of

6123
06:47:31,110 --> 06:47:29,200
tennessee chattanooga has already got

6124
06:47:32,948 --> 06:47:31,120
the rocket on the pad it's got it

6125
06:47:35,030 --> 06:47:32,958
pointed up right now

6126
06:47:37,110 --> 06:47:35,040
going through all of their

6127
06:47:38,708 --> 06:47:37,120
payload safety checks and making sure

6128
06:47:53,480 --> 06:47:38,718
that's all good but it looks like it's

6129
06:48:12,788 --> 06:48:02,340
