flown 107 00:11:29,150 --> 00:11:26,040 it was a historic mission 108 00:11:31,910 --> 00:11:29,160 that paved the way for future deep space 109 00:11:33,710 --> 00:11:31,920 exploration in a new chapter for NASA in 110 00:11:36,829 --> 00:11:33,720 the world 111 00:11:40,370 --> 00:11:36,839 that mission was a plus 112 00:11:42,889 --> 00:11:40,380 and we have been reviewing the data from 113 00:11:46,190 --> 00:11:42,899 that mission and we can clearly say that 114 00:11:53,210 --> 00:11:46,200 we are ready to fly crew on Artemis 2. 115 00:11:57,230 --> 00:11:55,190 recently NASA named the crew for the 116 00:11:59,630 --> 00:11:57,240 Artemis II mission which will be 117 00:12:02,870 --> 00:11:59,640 historic and groundbreaking in itself 118 00:12:04,490 --> 00:12:02,880 as we will fly the first woman in the 119 00:12:10,970 --> 00:12:04,500 first person of color on a deep space 120 00:12:18,350 --> 00:12:13,990 Reid Wiseman Victor Glover Christina cut 121 00:12:19,850 --> 00:12:18,360 and Jeremy Hanson will be the crew to 122 00:12:21,590 --> 00:12:19,860 return humans to the moon for the first 123 00:12:23,990 --> 00:12:21,600 time in 50 years 124 00:12:27,290 --> 00:12:24,000 and that will pave the way 125 00:12:29,269 --> 00:12:27,300 for the next human landing on Artemis 3. 126 00:12:30,949 --> 00:12:29,279 on the human Landing system is being 127 00:12:33,350 --> 00:12:30,959 managed right here at Marshall's space 128 00:12:35,750 --> 00:12:33,360 flight center with our partner SpaceX 129 00:12:37,790 --> 00:12:35,760 we will also land the

Artemis generation now let's bring 565 00:31:32,990 --> 00:31:31,020 everything a little bit closer to home 566 00:31:35,389 --> 00:31:33,000 your rocket is getting ready to fly 567 00:31:36,889 --> 00:31:35,399 what's going through your mind as you're 568 00:31:39,950 --> 00:31:36,899 getting ready to fly 569 00:31:42,289 --> 00:31:39,960 um definitely nervous excited we have a 570 00:31:43,909 --> 00:31:42,299 lot to get done a lot to um make sure 571 00:31:45,769 --> 00:31:43,919 this rocket is perfect to go in the air 572 00:31:47,570 --> 00:31:45,779 and we all really care about it so much 573 00:31:49,250 --> 00:31:47,580 so yeah we're a little we're a little 574 00:31:50,870 --> 00:31:49,260 stressed but excited 575 00:31:52,070 --> 00:31:50,880 stress but excite is always a good way 576 00:31:54,110 --> 00:31:52,080 to be now one of the things we haven't 577 00:31:55,909 --> 00:31:54,120 touched on yet is payloads this year we 578 00:31:57,649 --> 00:31:55,919 have a really well I think it's a really 579 00:32:01,430 --> 00:31:57,659 cool payload challenge how do you guys 580 00:32:02,389 --> 00:32:01,440 tackle this camera receiving signals 581 00:32:06,889 --> 00:32:02,399 challenge 582 00:32:12,169 --> 00:32:09,529 um with the cameras right in between the 583 00:32:14,149 --> 00:32:12,179 fins so whichever orientation the launch 584 00:32:15,830 --> 00:32:14,159 vehicle lands in then we'll always have 585 00:32:17,570 --> 00:32:15,840 one camera up and we just use 586 00:32:19,490 --> 00:32:17,580 Electronics to determine which one of 587 00:32:21,529 --> 00:32:19,500 those cameras is up and to complete the 588 00:32:25,310 --> 00:32:21,539 challenge and take in the radio signals 589 00:32:28,310 --> 00:32:25,320 via VIA antennas that are on the outside 590 00:32:30,830 --> 00:32:28,320 of our rocket so yeah and um this year 591 00:32:31,970 --> 00:32:30,840 we had a ton of challenges with that 592 00:32:33,889 --> 00:32:31,980 because 593 00:32:37,250 --> 00:32:33,899 um about a week and a half ago our 594 00:32:38,269 --> 00:32:37,260 entire rocket exploded pretty much we 595 00:32:41,029 --> 00:32:38,279 had 596 00:32:42,529 --> 00:32:41,039 um a test launch just for the payload we 597 00:32:44,690 --> 00:32:42,539 had already had a successful launch that 598 00:32:48,070 --> 00:32:44,700 was nearly perfect before then 599 00:32:51,889 --> 00:32:48,080 um and then that launch we had a motor 600 00:32:54,350 --> 00:32:51,899 manufacturer air the motor exploded and 601 00:32:56,570 --> 00:32:54,360 shot through our payload Bay destroying 602 00:32:58,130 --> 00:32:56,580 all the work that we had done 603 00:33:00,769 --> 00:32:58,140 um but I'm really proud to say that our 604 00:33:02,330 --> 00:33:00,779 team has enough of removable components 605 00:33:05,149 --> 00:33:02,340 and replaceable components that we were 606 00:33:07,490 --> 00:33:05,159 able to rebuild the payload and any 607 00:33:11,570 --> 00:33:07,500 damaged parts of the Rockets in 10 days 608 00:33:13,730 --> 00:33:11,580 so um uh the so the payload is about up 609 00:33:16,370 --> 00:33:13,740 back up to 75 percent 610 00:33:17,990 --> 00:33:16,380 um uh use and uh we're really hoping 611 00:33:20,090 --> 00:33:18,000 that it goes well today just because we 612 00:33:22,370 --> 00:33:20,100 put so much work into that so 613 00:33:24,110 --> 00:33:22,380 talk about overcoming adversity now I 614 00:33:28,190 --> 00:33:24,120 understand you guys had to chase down a 615 00:33:31,250 --> 00:33:28,200 part last

some issues with our 702 00:36:29,270 --> 00:36:27,660 parachute opening at apogee but finally 703 00:36:31,609 --> 00:36:29,280 in our third full-scale flight we got it 704 00:36:33,410 --> 00:36:31,619 to open at 600 feet when we wanted it to 705 00:36:35,150 --> 00:36:33,420 so we were all super excited when that 706 00:36:36,950 --> 00:36:35,160 happened although it ended up Landing in 707 00:36:38,870 --> 00:36:36,960 trees above a swamp so we had to go 708 00:36:41,030 --> 00:36:38,880 waiting in the swamp among the 709 00:36:42,710 --> 00:36:41,040 alligators and snakes but we managed to 710 00:36:44,630 --> 00:36:42,720 get our rocket back and it's on the pad 711 00:36:46,010 --> 00:36:44,640 there today yeah so where do you guys 712 00:36:47,810 --> 00:36:46,020 normally

00:36:51,839 we've also gone down to Samson Alabama 716 00:36:56,930 --> 00:36:54,480 and up to Elizabethtown and Hopkinsville 717 00:37:00,470 --> 00:36:58,490 hi me do you guys have like a particular 718 00:37:02,810 --> 00:37:00,480 name for your rocket do you guys do that 719 00:37:03,829 --> 00:37:02,820 or our name for our rocket this year is 720 00:37:05,930 --> 00:37:03,839 Argo

00:37:16,079 and the team liked it and so our payload 727 00:37:19,849 --> 00:37:17,880 is called The Argonaut so it is flying 728 00:37:21,230 --> 00:37:19,859 on the Argo okay so how big is your

765 00:38:40,250 --> 00:38:38,760 your payload I'm going to ask you about 766 00:38:40,970 --> 00:38:40,260 how are you guys tackling this year's 767 00:38:44,089 --> 00:38:40,980 challenge 768 00:38:46,670 --> 00:38:44,099 so throughout the whole year we have 769 00:38:49,310 --> 00:38:46,680 through the a lot of challenges starting 770 00:38:52,069 --> 00:38:49,320 from the topography where to launch and 771 00:38:53,930 --> 00:38:52,079 the coordination with the airport we 772 00:38:55,190 --> 00:38:53,940 always have constant communication with 773 00:38:57,410 --> 00:38:55,200 the airport having constant 774 00:39:00,890 --> 00:38:57,420 communication with the authority of 775 00:39:04,069 --> 00:39:00,900 Courts which they authorize us to go in 776 00:39:07,490 --> 00:39:04,079 the the place of the launch site in 777 00:39:09,770 --> 00:39:07,500 order to launch our rocket and one of 778 00:39:12,349 --> 00:39:09,780 the biggest challenges besides that is 779 00:39:14,810 --> 00:39:12,359 manufacturing per se the big rocket 780 00:39:17,329 --> 00:39:14,820 because we depend a lot on the 781 00:39:20,390 --> 00:39:17,339 University and other sponsors that we 782 00:39:22,430 --> 00:39:20,400 have that support us and our motor 783 00:39:25,910 --> 00:39:22,440 mounts especially that is made out of 784 00:39:28,550 --> 00:39:25,920 aluminum we had a hard time looking on 785 00:39:31,910 --> 00:39:28,560 how we were going to weld that in and 786 00:39:35,089 --> 00:39:31,920 how to find a shop that could do the job 787 00:39:37,370 --> 00:39:35,099 and having to mount all that together to 788 00:39:40,010 --> 00:39:37,380 the rocket another challenge that we had 789 00:39:43,010 --> 00:39:40,020 is the payload per se because this year 790 00:39:45,829 --> 00:39:43,020 we're launching a Rover and that Rover 791 00:39:48,290 --> 00:39:45,839 gets out of the rocket once it lands and 792 00:39:52,130 --> 00:39:48,300 then it stands up up straight and then 793 00:39:55,550 --> 00:39:52,140 takes the picture 360. yeah and that's 794 00:39:58,370 --> 00:39:55,560 very unique from our team and we put 795 00:40:00,770 --> 00:39:58,380 everything on it and we're still even 796 00:40:03,950 --> 00:40:00,780 now working on a few Financial software 797 00:40:06,170 --> 00:40:03,960 touches before we launch and yeah I 798 00:40:07,970 --> 00:40:06,180 don't know if I left anything up I'm 799 00:40:10,250 --> 00:40:07,980 sorry for all the teams that are back 800 00:40:13,609 --> 00:40:10,260 there and thank you for watching the 801

00:47:51,780 if you see it even under parachute don't 1013 00:48:11,390 --> 00:47:54,599 want to run from it just watch it take a 1014 00:48:15,770 --> 00:48:13,430 and just when you're moving away from it 1015 00:48:17,690 --> 00:48:15,780 in the events coming in in a parachute 1016 00:48:19,550 --> 00:48:17,700 make sure you move in a lateral 1017 00:48:22,370 --> 00:48:19,560 Direction can't move forward or back as 1018 00:48:24,720 --> 00:48:22,380 easy so just keep that in mind you'll 1019 00:48:26,089 --> 00:48:24,730 hear a really loud uh siren go off 1020 00:48:29,089 --> 00:48:26,099 [Music] 1021 00:48:31,309 --> 00:48:29,099 if it's coming in over by us and if it's 1022 00:48:32,630 --> 00:48:31,319 not yours don't touch it don't don't 1023 00:48:34,970 --> 00:48:32,640 need to be bothered with it and keep 1024 00:48:36,890 --> 00:48:34,980 distance away from it so just a couple 1025 00:48:38,809 --> 00:48:36,900 of those things from a safety briefing 1026 00:48:40,910 --> 00:48:38,819 standpoint 1027 00:48:43,490 --> 00:48:40,920 and just so that those have a little bit 1028 00:48:46,309 --> 00:48:43,500 of background I'm Gerald here and my 1029 00:48:47,930 --> 00:48:46,319 role is the launch control officer here 1030 00:48:50,930 --> 00:48:47,940 to be a part of the uh within our 1031 00:48:53,870 --> 00:48:50,940 organization not I'm saying I'm not a 1032 00:48:56,030 --> 00:48:53,880 professional so I did talk to all the 1033 00:48:58,730 --> 00:48:56,040 teams I took some notes as best as I 1034 00:49:00,050 --> 00:48:58,740 could you use a lot of acronyms so I did 1035 00:49:01,910 --> 00:49:00,060 struggle with some of that stuff and 1036 00:49:04,490 --> 00:49:01,920 some technology in terms I've never 1037 00:49:06,710 --> 00:49:04,500 heard of before so I'll use those as 1038 00:49:08,270 --> 00:49:06,720 best as I can but want to have some fun 1039 00:49:10,970 --> 00:49:08,280 in connection with everyone here today 1040 00:49:12,710 --> 00:49:10,980 with and also those online 1041 00:49:14,990 --> 00:49:12,720 so there's a few more things that those 1042 00:49:16,970 --> 00:49:15,000 teams have to do they'll come back in 1043 00:49:19,010 --> 00:49:16,980 and we'll get going if there's any 1044 00:49:59,329 --> 00:49:19,020 questions just let any one of us know 1045 00:50:03,710 --> 00:50:01,670 so I did just receive confirmation the 1046 00:50:06,109 --> 00:50:03,720 uh we're arming all the boxes and you 1047 00:50:07,790 --> 00:50:06,119 see the finals of the teams coming back 1048 00:50:10,730 --> 00:50:07,800 in and then also those that are working 1049 00:50:12,770 --> 00:50:10,740 on the 500 and 300 foot pads so we're 1050 00:52:09,770 --> 00:50:12,780 probably within five to ten minutes of 1051 00:52:09,780 --> 00:52:30,730 zero 1052 00:52:30,740 --> 00:52:40,870 all right 1053 00:52:44,870 --> 00:52:43,309 okay we're ready to get this show on the 1054 00:52:47,450 --> 00:52:44,880 road this is a pretty exciting so we got 1055 00:52:50,630 --> 00:52:47,460 the 2023 1056 00:52:53,450 --> 00:52:50,640 usli SLI competition here at the Bragg 1057 00:52:55,970 --> 00:52:53,460 Farm put on by NASA and supported with 1058 00:52:59,450 --> 00:52:55,980 uh folks from Nar so the very first team 1059 00:53:01,010 --> 00:52:59,460 going today this is UNC Pembroke or 1060 00:53:03,349 --> 00:53:01,020 Pembroke rocket team they're from 1061 00:53:05,750 --> 00:53:03,359 Pembroke North Carolina the name of this 1062 00:53:07,130 --> 00:53:05,760 rocket is called small boy now I hear 1063 00:53:09,410 --> 00:53:07,140 some clapping over there so it's a eight 1064 00:53:12,069 --> 00:53:09,420 pound rocket four inch in diameter six 1065 00:53:14,390 --> 00:53:12,079 feet tall it's flying on an Aerotech 1066 00:53:16,730 --> 00:53:14,400 j540 Redline 1067 00:53:18,770 --> 00:53:16,740 they did not put any notes down but I 1068 00:53:22,790 --> 00:53:18,780 was able to catch and see them for just 1069 00:53:27,410 --> 00:53:25,670 so this is their first time here they've 1070 00:53:29,270 --> 00:53:27,420 um they've had three different team let 1071 00:53:31,190 --> 00:53:29,280 three different team leaders but they 1072 00:53:33,290 --> 00:53:31,200 still did show up 1073 00:53:35,329 --> 00:53:33,300 um they also have a strong social media 1074 00:53:38,030 --> 00:53:35,339 game they have Instagram Tick Tock 1075 00:53:39,230 --> 00:53:38,040 Facebook Twitter Youtube and um they 1076 00:53:40,910 --> 00:53:39,240 normally compete in the First Nations 1077 00:53:42,770 --> 00:53:40,920 launch but they are branching out this 1078 00:53:44,809 --> 00:53:42,780 year I had to know why do they call it 1079 00:53:46,849 --> 00:53:44,819 small boy with an eye and it's said with 1080 00:53:48,410 --> 00:53:46,859 an eye one of their team members was 1081 00:53:50,270 --> 00:53:48,420 assessing all the parts they did not 1082 00:53:52,609 --> 00:53:50,280 know what rocket parts were and they 1083 00:53:54,290 --> 00:53:52,619 called The Switch band the small boy so 1084 00:53:57,109 --> 00:53:54,300 there's a new technical rocket term 1085 00:53:58,609 --> 00:53:57,119 switch band equals small boy okay we're 1086 00:54:01,849 --> 00:53:58,619 ready to go on to the show with flying 1087 00:54:05,450 --> 00:54:01,859 some Rockets we have a clear sky we have 1088 00:54:08,630 --> 00:54:05,460 a clear range we have Josie Harvey who 1089 00:54:10,010 --> 00:54:08,640 just turned 16 earlier this week gets a 1090 00:54:11,329 --> 00:54:10,020 driver's license it says you know what I 1091 00:54:13,010 --> 00:54:11,339 want to fly some rockets and I want to 1092 00:54:15,170 --> 00:54:13,020 push the button so I'm going to push the 1093 00:54:17,210 --> 00:54:15,180 button for this first one to start so we 1094 00:54:20,030 --> 00:54:17,220 have a clear sky clear range we're going 1095 00:54:23,450 --> 00:54:20,040 to go in five four oh this is I'm sorry 1096 00:54:27,530 --> 00:54:23,460 pad number 10 pad number 10 1097 00:54:29,750 --> 00:54:27,540 closest to us furthest to the left 1098 00:54:33,589 --> 00:54:29,760 okay we have a clear sky we have a clear 1099 00:54:37,370 --> 00:54:33,599 range we're going in five four three two 1100 00:54:37,380 --> 00:54:42,910 foreign 1101 00:54:50,809 --> 00:54:48,109 The Crowd Goes Wild so flying on a j540 1102 00:54:55,309 --> 00:54:50,819 rad this is supposed to be going 5200 1103 00:54:55,319 --> 00:55:09,650 it's not oh I see an event 1104 00:55:09,660 --> 00:55:13,670 yep there is an event on it 1105 00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:20,150 nice Clear Blue Sky to start us off 1106 00:55:23,569 --> 00:55:22,309 the main is supposed to be at 600 feet 1107 00:55:27,589 --> 00:55:23,579 so there's a little bit of distance 1108 00:55:28,730 --> 00:55:27,599 between 5200 estimated down to 600 but 1109 00:55:32,510 --> 00:55:28,740 that's why we have the small drug 1110 00:55:34,670 --> 00:55:32,520 parachute that gets it down to a to 600 1111 00:55:37,370 --> 00:55:34,680 feet pretty quickly and then at 600 feet 1112 00:56:14,450 --> 00:55:37,380 a much larger parachute comes out and 1113 00:56:19,130 --> 00:56:17,030 okay I see it just below the Sun but 1114 00:56:21,290 --> 00:56:19,140 like my mother and father told me don't 1115 00:56:23,630 --> 00:56:21,300 ever look into the Sun so just right 1116 00:56:27,290 --> 00:56:23,640 below it there's the rocket under drug 1117 00:56:31,069 --> 00:56:29,150 so it's like pretty much due east of 1118 00:56:33,349 --> 00:56:31,079 where we're at 1119 00:56:35,750 --> 00:56:33,359 so we're probably a thousand feet about 1120 00:56:37,849 --> 00:56:35,760 now so pretty quick here we should see 1121 00:56:42,890 --> 00:56:37,859 the main there's 600 feet 1122 00:56:48,650 --> 00:56:45,230 Crowd Goes Wild a nice good clap there 1123 00:56:54,589 --> 00:56:48,660 but I bet the Pembroke team is pretty 1124 00:56:58,329 --> 00:56:56,930 almost to the ground and then they have 1125 00:57:00,530 --> 00:56:58,339 to do their 1126 00:57:01,450 --> 00:57:00,540 experiment which is going to be involved 1127 00:57:05,390 --> 00:57:01,460 with 1128 00:57:07,130 --> 00:57:05,400 photography communication back from the 1129 00:57:08,329 --> 00:57:07,140 specified location to the team and then 1130 00:57:15,650 --> 00:57:08,339 they take all their pictures so 1131 00:57:19,490 --> 00:57:17,809 and a reminder to the team don't go and 1132 00:57:27,710 --> 00:57:19,500 recover your rocket until the range is 1133 00:57:32,510 --> 00:57:29,930 so we're going to go in numerical order 1134 00:57:39,109 --> 00:57:32,520 so we're now going to go over to pad 1135 00:57:43,130 --> 00:57:41,329 okay we're hold for helicopter 1136 00:57:45,589 --> 00:57:43,140 so that's one of the other things if you 1137 00:57:48,829 --> 00:57:45,599 see aircraft in the air we don't want to 1138 00:57:50,630 --> 00:57:48,839 uh disrupt or disturb them we do have a 1139 00:57:52,309 --> 00:57:50,640 clearance to fly Rockets but sometimes 1140 00:57:54,230 --> 00:57:52,319 we have some 1141 00:57:57,230 --> 00:57:54,240 other aircraft in the area we do not 1142 00:58:00,530 --> 00:57:57,240 want to be sharing it so someone see 1143 00:58:01,849 --> 00:58:00,540 something say something 1144 00:58:04,730 --> 00:58:01,859 well I'll start reading off the flight 1145 00:58:06,890 --> 00:58:04,740 card here so on pad number 11 we have 1146 00:58:09,170 --> 00:58:06,900 aiaab 1147 00:58:10,730 --> 00:58:09,180 OC section which is down in Irvine 1148 00:58:12,530 --> 00:58:10,740 California 1149 00:58:14,630 --> 00:58:12,540 the name of this rocket is called red 1150 00:58:17,030 --> 00:58:14,640 lightning 15 and a half pounds three 1151 00:58:20,390 --> 00:58:17,040 inch in diameter eight foot tall flying 1152 00:58:22,730 --> 00:58:20,400 on an Aerotech k2050 that's a very 1153 00:58:24,290 --> 00:58:22,740 healthy Punchy motor just knowing that 1154 00:58:26,450 --> 00:58:24,300 from experience 1155 00:58:28,190 --> 00:58:26,460 so for their science experiment and 1156 00:58:31,309 --> 00:58:28,200 payload information is called the 1157 00:58:33,410 --> 00:58:31,319 additive velocity payload that has a 1158 00:58:36,829 --> 00:58:33,420 buzzer that will emit sound and two 1159 00:58:39,349 --> 00:58:36,839 microphones one aft and one under the 1160 00:58:40,730 --> 00:58:39,359 rear of the buzzer both microphones will 1161 00:58:43,910 --> 00:58:40,740 be observed 1162 00:58:45,890 --> 00:58:43,920 the frequency shift of the buzzer during 1163 00:58:48,049 --> 00:58:45,900 a sense I hope all of you got and 1164 00:58:49,730 --> 00:58:48,059 understood that 1165 00:58:51,230 --> 00:58:49,740 um one of the other things I did notice 1166 00:58:53,630 --> 00:58:51,240 when I looked at the rocket it's a 1167 00:58:56,690 --> 00:58:53,640 fairly small diameter rocket on a k2050 1168 00:58:59,089 --> 00:58:56,700 it's going to go right to 5000 feet they 1169 00:59:01,089 --> 00:58:59,099 also use some very thick fiberglass fins 1170 00:59:03,650 --> 00:59:01,099 so those fins probably will never break 1171 00:59:05,089 --> 00:59:03,660 they did not have a name when I a name 1172 00:59:08,630 --> 00:59:05,099 with a rocket and I guess they did 1173 00:59:11,270 --> 00:59:08,640 settle on uh red lightning they do have 1174 00:59:13,849 --> 00:59:11,280 11 team members seven of them are here 1175 00:59:15,410 --> 00:59:13,859 the team also said to me they had fun 1176 00:59:17,510 --> 00:59:15,420 time working together and they did not 1177 00:59:19,910 --> 00:59:17,520 have time to paint it there you go so 1178 00:59:22,549 --> 00:59:19,920 we're gonna go on pad number 11. this is 1179 00:59:25,430 --> 00:59:22,559 red lightning on a k2050 to 5000 feet 1180 00:59:32,809 --> 00:59:25,440 clear sky clear range we're gonna launch 1181 00:59:41,210 --> 00:59:36,049 yep I know the k2050s that's the super 1182 00:59:45,410 --> 00:59:43,190 no you don't need to apologize I hear 1183 00:59:47,150 --> 00:59:45,420 some sorrys nope nope that's let's rock 1184 00:59:50,390 --> 00:59:47,160 a tree that's what we do 1185 00:59:50,400 --> 00:59:54,230 there's a 1186 00:59:54,240 --> 01:00:01,609 okay I can see it under drogue 1187 01:00:09,049 --> 01:00:03,589 so right now it's under drove the main 1188 01:00:14,750 --> 01:00:11,210 so I don't know if they're uh stuff to 1189 01:00:16,069 --> 01:00:14,760 test for frequency and buzzers I don't 1190 01:00:42,049 --> 01:00:16,079 know if that's gonna work that went up 1191 01:00:45,890 --> 01:00:44,569 oh there's the main event just right by 1192 01:00:48,289 --> 01:00:45,900 the Sun 1193 01:00:56,150 --> 01:00:48,299 the team is very happy and satisfied 1194 01:01:11,690 --> 01:00:58,130 so that won't land too far away that 1195 01:01:14,930 --> 01:01:13,910 okay we're gonna go to pad number 12. 1196 01:01:20,809 --> 01:01:14,940 this is 1197 01:01:23,150 --> 01:01:20,819 of Charlottesville Virginia 1198 01:01:27,230 --> 01:01:23,160 the name of this rocket is decently 1199 01:01:29,270 --> 01:01:27,240 sized Dipper it's a 16 pound rocket 4 1200 01:01:33,849 --> 01:01:29,280 inch in diameter seven feet three inches 1201 01:01:37,849 --> 01:01:33,859 tall flying on a k535 for the 1202 01:01:40,010 --> 01:01:37,859 electronics it says uh piezoelectronics 1203 01:01:42,950 --> 01:01:40,020 generators we are measuring how much 1204 01:01:45,890 --> 01:01:42,960 electricity can be harnessed or 1205 01:01:47,210 --> 01:01:45,900 harvested from vibrations as the rocket 1206 01:01:49,069 --> 01:01:47,220 ascends 1207 01:01:50,630 --> 01:01:49,079 a Boy Scout Troop folks that's pretty 1208 01:01:52,490 --> 01:01:50,640 impressive 1209 01:01:54,650 --> 01:01:52,500 couple will notes I noticed from this 1210 01:01:57,530 --> 01:01:54,660 team this is playing on Aerotek k535 1211 01:01:59,690 --> 01:01:57,540 should go about 4 500 feet 1212 01:02:01,670 --> 01:01:59,700 um so they did have a a saying on the 1213 01:02:03,950 --> 01:02:01,680 Rock is called the dream is alive it's a 1214 01:02:06,109 --> 01:02:03,960 actually the famous words from the sts-1 1215 01:02:08,089 --> 01:02:06,119 shuttle mission John Young upon 1216 01:02:11,030 --> 01:02:08,099 touchdown back to Earth after the 1217 01:02:13,069 --> 01:02:11,040 mission this team had a lot of fun and 1218 01:02:14,510 --> 01:02:13,079 um they had a lot of dad jokes included 1219 01:02:17,089 --> 01:02:14,520 with the building of this rocket 1220 01:02:18,710 --> 01:02:17,099 including launching a volley of puns I 1221 01:02:20,150 --> 01:02:18,720 did not say that that was one of the dad 1222 01:02:21,829 --> 01:02:20,160 jokes though 1223 01:02:23,589 --> 01:02:21,839 um they did contract out the paint job 1224 01:02:25,490 --> 01:02:23,599 came back a little different but after 1225 01:02:27,170 --> 01:02:25,500 thinking about it they ended up really 1226 01:02:28,309 --> 01:02:27,180 really liking it 1227 01:02:30,829 --> 01:02:28,319 um they're out and they're also they 1228 01:02:32,569 --> 01:02:30,839 have a PR person named Mason who did 1229 01:02:34,609 --> 01:02:32,579 very well supporting the team including 1230 01:02:36,470 --> 01:02:34,619 live streaming the scale flight they 1231 01:02:39,230 --> 01:02:36,480 also did a GoFundMe this is a very 1232 01:02:41,329 --> 01:02:39,240 relaxed team with varying age rages Boy 1233 01:02:43,130 --> 01:02:41,339 Scouts it can range from age 10 to age 1234 01:02:45,109 --> 01:02:43,140 18 and they cover all the gamut with 1235 01:02:47,329 --> 01:02:45,119 this team pretty impressive work okay 1236 01:02:49,609 --> 01:02:47,339 we're gonna go to pad 12. clear sky 1237 01:03:02,870 --> 01:02:49,619 clear range we're gonna launch in five 1238 01:03:14,809 --> 01:03:05,630 nice boost the crowd seems to be 1239 01:03:14,819 --> 01:03:20,390 oh there's an event 1240 01:03:27,470 --> 01:03:24,349 so that was supposed to go 4 500 feet 1241 01:03:34,730 --> 01:03:27,480 I don't know if it went 4 500 feet but 1242 01:03:40,130 --> 01:03:36,770 and it's really small drogue the main is 1243 01:03:42,530 --> 01:03:40,140 set for 700 feet 1244 01:03:44,569 --> 01:03:42,540 oh there it is 1245 01:03:46,250 --> 01:03:44,579 all right 1246 01:03:51,230 --> 01:03:46,260 I hope they harnessed a lot of 1247 01:03:54,470 --> 01:03:53,089 it's a shocking flight oh yeah we gotta 1248 01:03:56,930 --> 01:03:54,480 use all the dad jokes for this team 1249 01:04:00,410 --> 01:03:56,940 that's right 1250 01:04:02,450 --> 01:04:00,420 okay moving on to pad number 20. this is 1251 01:04:04,490 --> 01:04:02,460 a Whitney Young Aerospace out of Whitney 1252 01:04:07,609 --> 01:04:04,500 uh or the school's Whitney Young out of 1253 01:04:12,470 --> 01:04:07,619 Chicago Illinois the name of this rocket 1254 01:04:15,950 --> 01:04:12,480 is a Red Rider it's a 26.35 pounds five 1255 01:04:20,690 --> 01:04:15,960 inch in diameter 103 inches tall 1256 01:04:23,510 --> 01:04:20,700 is flying on a Aerotech k1000 it should 1257 01:04:26,270 --> 01:04:23,520 go about 3 700 feet for the um 1258 01:04:28,069 --> 01:04:26,280 experiment information 1259 01:04:33,410 --> 01:04:28,079 um 1260 01:04:38,750 --> 01:04:35,930 okay so with this team they're doing the 1261 01:04:42,230 --> 01:04:38,760 same as College usli requirements 1262 01:04:44,089 --> 01:04:42,240 without the aprs utilization and it says 1263 01:04:45,710 --> 01:04:44,099 automated 1264 01:04:47,809 --> 01:04:45,720 um with this team but they told me that 1265 01:04:49,010 --> 01:04:47,819 oh they're payload they call it pixel so 1266 01:04:50,329 --> 01:04:49,020 if you look at the rocket it's kind of 1267 01:04:52,430 --> 01:04:50,339 hard to see it's red and black but it's 1268 01:04:55,309 --> 01:04:52,440 got a pretty cool pixelated paint job 1269 01:04:58,609 --> 01:04:55,319 and the payload does take pictures upon 1270 01:05:00,829 --> 01:04:58,619 Landing okay on pad 20. we have a clear 1271 01:05:10,849 --> 01:05:00,839 sky we have a clear range we will launch 1272 01:05:17,089 --> 01:05:13,309 okay this should be on its way to 3 700 1273 01:05:22,609 --> 01:05:19,430 starting to Arc over a little bit that 1274 01:05:25,069 --> 01:05:22,619 might be pretty close to 3 700 feet 1275 01:05:30,410 --> 01:05:25,079 there's an event there's its back up to 1276 01:05:30,420 --> 01:05:34,490 oh is that the main Maybe 1277 01:05:38,930 --> 01:05:36,650 oh that that does look like that's the 1278 01:05:46,910 --> 01:05:38,940 main the main is supposed to come out at 1279 01:05:51,650 --> 01:05:49,250 and then some you can probably see that 1280 01:05:53,809 --> 01:05:51,660 smoke below it that's actually tracking 1281 01:05:58,190 --> 01:05:53,819 smoke that's in the motor so you can 1282 01:06:00,289 --> 01:05:58,200 visually Spot It under recovery 1283 01:06:02,030 --> 01:06:00,299 and the Sea it just burned itself out so 1284 01:06:04,549 --> 01:06:02,040 it will burn for a period of duration so 1285 01:06:07,490 --> 01:06:04,559 you can see it while it's up in the air 1286 01:06:11,030 --> 01:06:07,500 but the main is out at apogee so that's 1287 01:06:12,470 --> 01:06:11,040 going for the K parachute duration 1288 01:06:42,589 --> 01:06:12,480 probably it's one of the Gnar 1289 01:06:42,599 --> 01:06:46,370 oh 1290 01:06:46,380 --> 01:06:51,170 so still hanging out up there 1291 01:06:51,180 --> 01:07:13,910 it will be out in the field 1292 01:07:19,190 --> 01:07:15,890 so it's still coming down under its main 1293 01:07:20,870 --> 01:07:19,200 parachute so you'll see it like I think 1294 01:07:23,270 --> 01:07:20,880 it was 800 feet you'll see probably a 1295 01:07:24,950 --> 01:07:23,280 smoke piece come out and that will be 1296 01:07:27,289 --> 01:07:24,960 where the parachute was actually 1297 01:07:29,029 --> 01:07:27,299 supposed to come out for the main 1298 01:07:30,410 --> 01:07:29,039 that's okay you'd rather have it out 1299 01:07:32,329 --> 01:07:30,420 than not out 1300 01:08:00,589 --> 01:07:32,339 we've learned from some of the scale and 1301 01:08:03,770 --> 01:08:02,510 okay so that one is just about to touch 1302 01:08:05,990 --> 01:08:03,780 down 1303 01:08:07,910 --> 01:08:06,000 so I will continue on as that one is 1304 01:08:10,190 --> 01:08:07,920 just about 1305 01:08:13,430 --> 01:08:10,200 it's right at the tree line so this is 1306 01:08:16,550 --> 01:08:13,440 going to be on pad number 21 the team 1307 01:08:18,829 --> 01:08:16,560 name is called space Jacks uh the school 1308 01:08:20,510 --> 01:08:18,839 is Northern Arizona University out of 1309 01:08:22,550 --> 01:08:20,520 Flagstaff Arizona 1310 01:08:25,669 --> 01:08:22,560 the name of the rocket is called lofty 1311 01:08:27,890 --> 01:08:25,679 aspirations it's a almost 23 pound 1312 01:08:29,329 --> 01:08:27,900 rocket four inch in diameter eight and a 1313 01:08:31,490 --> 01:08:29,339 half feet tall 1314 01:08:34,849 --> 01:08:31,500 so for their science and experiment 1315 01:08:37,550 --> 01:08:34,859 information all they wrote down was NASA 1316 01:08:41,110 --> 01:08:37,560 usli challenge they kept it short and 1317 01:08:44,510 --> 01:08:41,120 sweet it is flying on an Aerotek k1100 1318 01:08:45,530 --> 01:08:44,520 Blue Thunder it should go about 5 000 1319 01:08:48,950 --> 01:08:45,540 feet 1320 01:08:50,809 --> 01:08:48,960 and the main is set for 600 so for this 1321 01:08:52,789 --> 01:08:50,819 team this is the first time competing 1322 01:08:55,550 --> 01:08:52,799 for them either in a long time or ever 1323 01:08:59,630 --> 01:08:55,560 they have an elongated payload package 1324 01:09:02,150 --> 01:08:59,640 with two gimbaling passive systems 1325 01:09:04,189 --> 01:09:02,160 this team also did paint the rocket this 1326 01:09:05,749 --> 01:09:04,199 end up on it so they just could remind 1327 01:09:08,209 --> 01:09:05,759 themselves which way is the correct 1328 01:09:09,769 --> 01:09:08,219 orientation of the rocket 1329 01:09:11,570 --> 01:09:09,779 um and then within the past couple of 1330 01:09:13,490 --> 01:09:11,580 days they wanted to point or paint on 1331 01:09:15,229 --> 01:09:13,500 there this end down and then they also 1332 01:09:17,510 --> 01:09:15,239 painted on their lofty aspirations they 1333 01:09:19,729 --> 01:09:17,520 said it earned a name the team also 1334 01:09:21,349 --> 01:09:19,739 struggled with one of their management I 1335 01:09:23,390 --> 01:09:21,359 guess skills they're supposed to order 1336 01:09:25,309 --> 01:09:23,400 pizza for club meetings but they never 1337 01:09:26,689 --> 01:09:25,319 got around to doing it so hopefully 1338 01:09:29,090 --> 01:09:26,699 they'll remember to order pizza for 1339 01:09:31,789 --> 01:09:29,100 their next meet okay continuing on to 1340 01:09:33,590 --> 01:09:31,799 the launch on pad number 21 we are going 1341 01:09:35,269 --> 01:09:33,600 to launch lofty aspirations we have a 1342 01:09:39,050 --> 01:09:35,279 clear sky clear range we're going to 1343 01:09:45,229 --> 01:09:39,060 launch in five four three two one 1344 01:09:49,610 --> 01:09:47,630 k1100 those are good Motors those Motors 1345 01:09:52,490 --> 01:09:49,620 uh made by Aerotek have been around for 1346 01:09:52,500 --> 01:09:56,630 still under I can still see it 1347 01:09:56,640 --> 01:09:59,630 there is an event 1348 01:10:04,130 --> 01:10:01,850 and then that's the back up to the 1349 01:10:06,590 --> 01:10:04,140 apogee event which is good it's a good 1350 01:10:08,870 --> 01:10:06,600 sign so the main is not out so this 1351 01:10:13,790 --> 01:10:08,880 one's coming down at a quicker rate 1352 01:10:18,950 --> 01:10:15,590 I don't think this rocket probably went 1353 01:10:22,130 --> 01:10:18,960 5 000 feet would be would be my guess 1354 01:10:24,410 --> 01:10:22,140 that three thousand thirty five hundred 1355 01:10:26,750 --> 01:10:24,420 we're coming in about two thousand feet 1356 01:10:30,410 --> 01:10:26,760 right now 1357 01:10:32,630 --> 01:10:30,420 probably 1500 right around a thousand 1358 01:10:34,430 --> 01:10:32,640 and there's your 600. 1359 01:10:35,630 --> 01:10:34,440 all right and then there's our backup to 1360 01:10:39,169 --> 01:10:35,640 the main 1361 01:10:41,390 --> 01:10:39,179 so everything looks good on that one 1362 01:11:16,010 --> 01:10:41,400 not such lofty aspirations I'm still 1363 01:11:21,470 --> 01:11:18,110 okay so now we're going to pad number 1364 01:11:23,510 --> 01:11:21,480 22. this is Portland rocketry out of 1365 01:11:26,510 --> 01:11:23,520 Portland Oregon the name of this rocket 1366 01:11:27,490 --> 01:11:26,520 is Asgard 2.0 14 pounds four inch in 1367 01:11:31,910 --> 01:11:27,500 diameter 1368 01:11:34,490 --> 01:11:31,920 7.65 feet it is flying on a j 449 Blue 1369 01:11:36,910 --> 01:11:34,500 Streak cesaroni motor should go about 4 1370 01:11:40,130 --> 01:11:36,920 100 feet on the experiment information 1371 01:11:43,130 --> 01:11:40,140 it has an air brake system the Aero 1372 01:11:44,570 --> 01:11:43,140 brake system autonomously deploys three 1373 01:11:48,470 --> 01:11:44,580 fins 1374 01:11:50,270 --> 01:11:48,480 uh dynamically change the drag 1375 01:11:51,830 --> 01:11:50,280 wait there's a lot of information here 1376 01:11:53,930 --> 01:11:51,840 dynamically change the drag of the 1377 01:11:55,490 --> 01:11:53,940 rocket during flight this makes it so 1378 01:11:58,550 --> 01:11:55,500 the rocket can reach the predicted 1379 01:12:02,270 --> 01:11:58,560 height more accurately the main is set 1380 01:12:04,790 --> 01:12:02,280 for 500 feet and this team this is their 1381 01:12:06,050 --> 01:12:04,800 second time being here ever 1382 01:12:08,450 --> 01:12:06,060 um and with the name of the rocket 1383 01:12:10,610 --> 01:12:08,460 Asgard number two it goes to Greek 1384 01:12:11,689 --> 01:12:10,620 mythology which represents the city of 1385 01:12:13,910 --> 01:12:11,699 the Gods 1386 01:12:15,950 --> 01:12:13,920 I also thought was unique with this team 1387 01:12:18,110 --> 01:12:15,960 it's a team of six members 1388 01:12:19,850 --> 01:12:18,120 they did not have a chance to paint it 1389 01:12:21,590 --> 01:12:19,860 in time but they decorated it I think 1390 01:12:23,209 --> 01:12:21,600 since Thursday they put a lot of glitter 1391 01:12:25,550 --> 01:12:23,219 and so glitter is everywhere folks so 1392 01:12:27,229 --> 01:12:25,560 just double check your shirts I thought 1393 01:12:29,330 --> 01:12:27,239 was unique with this team as they also 1394 01:12:31,550 --> 01:12:29,340 had a rocket playlist when they would 1395 01:12:33,709 --> 01:12:31,560 get together and do the working on the 1396 01:12:35,270 --> 01:12:33,719 project some of the songs they shared 1397 01:12:38,450 --> 01:12:35,280 with me they like to play the Rick Roll 1398 01:12:41,870 --> 01:12:38,460 song the Spider-Man theme song Felice 1399 01:12:44,030 --> 01:12:41,880 Navidad Pokeman theme song Rocket Man Of 1400 01:12:46,370 --> 01:12:44,040 course Ain't No Mountain High Enough so 1401 01:12:48,470 --> 01:12:46,380 quite a diverse playlist when they're in 1402 01:12:51,770 --> 01:12:48,480 crunch time mode though they do like to 1403 01:12:52,850 --> 01:12:51,780 play the Mario gamer music song so if 1404 01:12:54,830 --> 01:12:52,860 you want to check out their Spotify 1405 01:12:59,149 --> 01:12:54,840 playlist I'd go check out with Portland 1406 01:13:00,770 --> 01:12:59,159 rocketry okay on pad number 22 we have a 1407 01:13:04,550 --> 01:13:00,780 clear sky we have a clear range we're 1408 01:13:09,050 --> 01:13:04,560 going to launch in five four three two 1409 01:13:23,030 --> 01:13:12,050 foreign so there should be an air brake 1410 01:13:30,110 --> 01:13:26,149 okay it was told there's an event 1411 01:13:30,120 --> 01:13:45,890 oh yeah there it is 1412 01:14:18,320 --> 01:13:48,530 and the main on this one is set for 550 1413 01:14:22,310 --> 01:14:20,390 [Applause] 1414 01:14:40,130 --> 01:14:22,320 okay and then there's the main on that 1415 01:14:46,430 --> 01:14:42,229 okay so now we're going to the 500 foot 1416 01:14:49,970 --> 01:14:48,290 okay so we're going out to the far back 1417 01:14:52,189 --> 01:14:49,980 pads furthest to the left is where we'll 1418 01:14:55,189 --> 01:14:52,199 start we'll start on pad number 41 this 1419 01:14:57,229 --> 01:14:55,199 is Owl rocketry at a Temple University 1420 01:15:00,169 --> 01:14:57,239 at a Philadelphia Pennsylvania the name 1421 01:15:02,990 --> 01:15:00,179 of this rocket is Balboa it doesn't have 1422 01:15:04,790 --> 01:15:03,000 a weight listed so it's it doesn't want 1423 01:15:06,310 --> 01:15:04,800 to share its weight it's five and a half 1424 01:15:10,850 --> 01:15:06,320 inch diameter 1425 01:15:13,990 --> 01:15:10,860 9.4 feet tall it is flying on an L 1150 1426 01:15:17,870 --> 01:15:14,000 Aerotech Redline it should go 1427 01:15:20,390 --> 01:15:17,880 4935 feet the main is set for 1428 01:15:23,270 --> 01:15:20,400 600 feet this is their first time being 1429 01:15:25,189 --> 01:15:23,280 here they are using a secondary pay uh 1430 01:15:27,229 --> 01:15:25,199 payload on this rocket I thought it was 1431 01:15:29,689 --> 01:15:27,239 also a unique story on this team their 1432 01:15:33,110 --> 01:15:29,699 Mentor is also their team member and was 1433 01:15:36,110 --> 01:15:33,120 also a competitor in the SLI division 1434 01:15:38,270 --> 01:15:36,120 when she was in high school the team is 1435 01:15:41,030 --> 01:15:38,280 made up of eight members they also had a 1436 01:15:42,950 --> 01:15:41,040 weird way of the key lock switch so like 1437 01:15:45,709 --> 01:15:42,960 I think of a normal house key they put 1438 01:15:47,630 --> 01:15:45,719 the key in there broke the key off but 1439 01:15:49,669 --> 01:15:47,640 then they will use a screwdriver to turn 1440 01:15:50,810 --> 01:15:49,679 the electronics on and off so that is a 1441 01:15:53,330 --> 01:15:50,820 unique 1442 01:15:56,750 --> 01:15:53,340 Ingenuity way to approach the switch 1443 01:15:59,270 --> 01:15:56,760 system on pad number 41 we have Temple 1444 01:16:00,530 --> 01:15:59,280 University we have a clear sky we have a 1445 01:16:12,590 --> 01:16:00,540 clear range we're going to launch in 1446 01:16:17,990 --> 01:16:15,229 burn the igniter on that one so what 1447 01:16:20,990 --> 01:16:18,000 happens is is the igniter lit but it did 1448 01:16:25,669 --> 01:16:21,000 not give enough energy to light the 1449 01:16:30,530 --> 01:16:27,649 so we'll come back and recycle that one 1450 01:16:33,350 --> 01:16:30,540 on pad 42 we have the University of 1451 01:16:35,390 --> 01:16:33,360 Alabama Tuscaloosa 1452 01:16:37,550 --> 01:16:35,400 well I guess they're kind of excited 1453 01:16:40,390 --> 01:16:37,560 they're out of Tuscaloosa Alabama the 1454 01:16:42,470 --> 01:16:40,400 name of this rocket is Prometheus 1455 01:16:46,250 --> 01:16:42,480 34.8 pounds four and a half inch 1456 01:16:49,430 --> 01:16:46,260 diameter 8.33 feet tall this team has a 1457 01:16:52,130 --> 01:16:49,440 CO2 deployment system 23 grams and the 1458 01:16:54,470 --> 01:16:52,140 main 35 is back up this is the only team 1459 01:16:56,570 --> 01:16:54,480 that I'm aware of that is also using CO2 1460 01:16:58,610 --> 01:16:56,580 deployment too 1461 01:17:00,470 --> 01:16:58,620 so their experiment information upon 1462 01:17:02,510 --> 01:17:00,480 Landing that payload Bay deploys a 1463 01:17:04,490 --> 01:17:02,520 vertical camera using a pulley system 1464 01:17:07,669 --> 01:17:04,500 this camera operates using radio 1465 01:17:10,729 --> 01:17:07,679 frequency commands relayed by NASA 1466 01:17:14,689 --> 01:17:10,739 this rocket is also flying on an 1467 01:17:16,850 --> 01:17:14,699 Aerotech l1150 Redline it should go 5 1468 01:17:18,830 --> 01:17:16,860 000 feet I think their payload is called 1469 01:17:20,510 --> 01:17:18,840 fear the Ripper and I think they're 1470 01:17:23,149 --> 01:17:20,520 going for the 3D printed award I saw a 1471 01:17:25,130 --> 01:17:23,159 lot of 3D printed stuff on there this 1472 01:17:28,310 --> 01:17:25,140 also this team rolls deep they got 35 1473 01:17:29,750 --> 01:17:28,320 members on their team they also um we 1474 01:17:32,090 --> 01:17:29,760 also want to thank all of our sponsors 1475 01:17:34,250 --> 01:17:32,100 we're grateful to have you here and 1476 01:17:35,990 --> 01:17:34,260 support um the schools and programs and 1477 01:17:38,090 --> 01:17:36,000 dreams but I will say this team did 1478 01:17:41,090 --> 01:17:38,100 secure a very unique sponsorship from 1479 01:17:43,669 --> 01:17:41,100 Whataburger I thought that was different 1480 01:17:45,470 --> 01:17:43,679 um something about 50 Burgers so I want 1481 01:17:46,850 --> 01:17:45,480 to get one of those 50 Burgers too so 1482 01:17:50,570 --> 01:17:46,860 just keep that in mind right here at the 1483 01:17:53,209 --> 01:17:50,580 lco desk okay pad 42 clear sky clear 1484 01:17:57,410 --> 01:17:53,219 range we're going to launch in five four 1485 01:18:24,010 --> 01:17:57,420 three two one ignition 1486 01:18:24,020 --> 01:18:29,750 than never 1487 01:18:33,530 --> 01:18:31,669 well I guess that's CO2 I don't know 1488 01:18:37,490 --> 01:18:33,540 what's going on there but 1489 01:19:00,770 --> 01:18:37,500 hopefully the vertical camera system 1490 01:19:00,780 --> 01:19:15,950 oh there's the main okay 1491 01:19:15,960 --> 01:19:24,470 hmm I don't know not sure on that one 1492 01:19:32,630 --> 01:19:29,630 okay Pat yep pad 43 so pad 43 this is 1493 01:19:36,950 --> 01:19:32,640 uh Wu rocketry out of Washington 1494 01:19:38,689 --> 01:19:36,960 University in St Louis out of St Louis 1495 01:19:40,850 --> 01:19:38,699 oh they got their little chant going 1496 01:19:43,490 --> 01:19:40,860 there too I don't know what's going on 1497 01:19:46,370 --> 01:19:43,500 over there calm down everyone the name 1498 01:19:48,850 --> 01:19:46,380 of this rocket is uh benkin one I 1499 01:19:53,450 --> 01:19:48,860 believe it's 41 pounds 1500 01:19:55,970 --> 01:19:53,460 6.17 inch diameter 9.25 feet tall this 1501 01:19:57,590 --> 01:19:55,980 rocket does says besides a sick paint 1502 01:20:00,290 --> 01:19:57,600 job I didn't see I didn't this is what 1503 01:20:03,169 --> 01:20:00,300 it says I'm reading it this rocket has a 1504 01:20:06,229 --> 01:20:03,179 3D printed airfoil fin shells and two 1505 01:20:08,390 --> 01:20:06,239 onboard cameras to record flights their 1506 01:20:10,250 --> 01:20:08,400 experiment info information is called 1507 01:20:12,050 --> 01:20:10,260 the vision so we'll start of many 1508 01:20:15,470 --> 01:20:12,060 acronyms you'll hear over the day today 1509 01:20:18,050 --> 01:20:15,480 this is the virtual interactive snapshot 1510 01:20:22,070 --> 01:20:18,060 in operational environment 1511 01:20:25,070 --> 01:20:22,080 is an SDR aprs based on a scissor lift 1512 01:20:26,689 --> 01:20:25,080 ground deployment Imaging system I hope 1513 01:20:29,590 --> 01:20:26,699 you all got that there's a test later 1514 01:20:32,090 --> 01:20:29,600 today on it it is flying on an Aerotech 1515 01:20:34,790 --> 01:20:32,100 l1390 Mojave green 1516 01:20:36,169 --> 01:20:34,800 should go about 4 600 feet 1517 01:20:38,149 --> 01:20:36,179 um I thought was unique with this team 1518 01:20:40,310 --> 01:20:38,159 is they one of these sub teams made 1519 01:20:42,530 --> 01:20:40,320 their own special sunglasses I think 1520 01:20:44,390 --> 01:20:42,540 they're probably wearing them right now 1521 01:20:46,010 --> 01:20:44,400 the other thing they mentioned they have 1522 01:20:47,630 --> 01:20:46,020 a rack and pinion system in there I'm 1523 01:20:49,970 --> 01:20:47,640 like I thought that goes in a car but 1524 01:20:51,950 --> 01:20:49,980 they put it in the rocket 1525 01:20:53,810 --> 01:20:51,960 um they also have a they have a nose 1526 01:20:56,689 --> 01:20:53,820 cone that has an elliptical finish it's 1527 01:20:58,970 --> 01:20:56,699 not to a point and then the Leading Edge 1528 01:21:00,709 --> 01:20:58,980 to the fins are 3D printed this team 1529 01:21:04,430 --> 01:21:00,719 also rolls pretty deep they got 40 team 1530 01:21:06,890 --> 01:21:04,440 members total 25 of them 25 of them are 1531 01:21:09,229 --> 01:21:06,900 here the team also came up with their 1532 01:21:12,110 --> 01:21:09,239 own logo they have a pretty high team 1533 01:21:14,330 --> 01:21:12,120 morale and I guess one of their team 1534 01:21:16,729 --> 01:21:14,340 members Brendan doesn't like to sleep a 1535 01:21:18,709 --> 01:21:16,739 lot I guess this likes to sleep while 1536 01:21:20,030 --> 01:21:18,719 showering there's a story there you're 1537 01:21:22,370 --> 01:21:20,040 going to have to go talk to Brendan on 1538 01:21:24,410 --> 01:21:22,380 that one okay on pad 43 we're gonna 1539 01:21:26,090 --> 01:21:24,420 we're gonna launch this rocket in the 1540 01:21:29,990 --> 01:21:26,100 clear sky we have a clear range we're 1541 01:21:37,610 --> 01:21:30,000 gonna launch in five four three two one 1542 01:21:42,890 --> 01:21:40,850 nice Mojave green that should go 4 600 1543 01:21:44,570 --> 01:21:42,900 feet 1544 01:21:49,729 --> 01:21:44,580 that might do it 1545 01:21:49,739 --> 01:21:54,169 there is an event there's its back up 1546 01:21:54,179 --> 01:22:23,570 and the main is set for 600 feet 1547 01:22:29,209 --> 01:22:26,750 it's probably 1500 feet 1548 01:22:31,790 --> 01:22:29,219 close to a thousand feet now so we 1549 01:22:37,430 --> 01:22:31,800 should see it about 600 feet 1550 01:22:46,370 --> 01:22:41,149 it's a low 600 feet oh there we go 1551 01:22:49,490 --> 01:22:48,169 Brandon I hope you're awake for this do 1552 01:22:55,490 --> 01:22:49,500 you see it 1553 01:22:55,500 --> 01:23:01,550 okay we are going to continue on 1554 01:23:01,560 --> 01:23:11,510 now we're going to 1555 01:23:16,850 --> 01:23:14,570 okay we're going to pad 60. the name of 1556 01:23:18,950 --> 01:23:16,860 this rocket is the advanced rocketry 1557 01:23:21,649 --> 01:23:18,960 Club out of the University of North 1558 01:23:24,169 --> 01:23:21,659 Dakota Grand Forks North Dakota 1559 01:23:25,610 --> 01:23:24,179 the name of this rocket is Cosmo so 1560 01:23:28,130 --> 01:23:25,620 you're going to probably hear some other 1561 01:23:29,590 --> 01:23:28,140 teams with the cosmos but this one is 1562 01:23:32,709 --> 01:23:29,600 Cosmo 1563 01:23:35,570 --> 01:23:32,719 42.3 pounds six inch diameter 1564 01:23:36,850 --> 01:23:35,580 8.67 feet tall it is flying on an 1565 01:23:39,669 --> 01:23:36,860 Aerotech 1566 01:23:45,350 --> 01:23:39,679 l1420 Redline 1567 01:23:49,729 --> 01:23:47,830 looks maybe like 1568 01:23:51,050 --> 01:23:49,739 5600 feet 1569 01:23:54,830 --> 01:23:51,060 I think that's what I'm reading here 1570 01:23:59,870 --> 01:23:56,450 um and then the name of this payload is 1571 01:24:02,209 --> 01:23:59,880 called obscura the whole um 1572 01:24:04,189 --> 01:24:02,219 their their whole payload is 3D printed 1573 01:24:06,890 --> 01:24:04,199 and it found out it weighs six kilograms 1574 01:24:08,330 --> 01:24:06,900 so it is a very heavy 3D printed payload 1575 01:24:09,350 --> 01:24:08,340 and the whole payload is in the nose 1576 01:24:11,570 --> 01:24:09,360 cone 1577 01:24:14,930 --> 01:24:11,580 and they painted they called it Cosmo 1578 01:24:16,970 --> 01:24:14,940 and painted it in that fashion but not 1579 01:24:18,890 --> 01:24:16,980 Cosmos because Ohio State University 1580 01:24:21,709 --> 01:24:18,900 called it that rocket so don't get those 1581 01:24:23,209 --> 01:24:21,719 mixed up the team did vote on this paint 1582 01:24:24,709 --> 01:24:23,219 job too so I guess with a lot of 1583 01:24:27,590 --> 01:24:24,719 deliberation that's what they settled on 1584 01:24:29,870 --> 01:24:27,600 for the paint jobs pad 60. we have a 1585 01:24:32,570 --> 01:24:29,880 clear sky we have a clear range we're 1586 01:24:37,390 --> 01:24:32,580 going to launch this one in five four 1587 01:24:39,410 --> 01:24:37,400 three two one ignition 1588 01:24:46,130 --> 01:24:39,420 [Music] 1589 01:24:49,610 --> 01:24:47,930 the crowd seem to be pretty impressed 1590 01:24:56,270 --> 01:24:49,620 with that one that's what those red 1591 01:25:01,490 --> 01:24:58,310 there's an event there's it's back up to 1592 01:25:03,649 --> 01:25:01,500 the main or the apogee 1593 01:25:10,970 --> 01:25:03,659 we could hear it I'd suggest maybe more 1594 01:25:10,980 --> 01:25:51,649 the mean on this one is set for 700 feet 1595 01:25:57,290 --> 01:25:54,110 oh there it is okay it should be 1596 01:25:59,330 --> 01:25:57,300 we should be pretty close to 700 now 1597 01:26:01,970 --> 01:25:59,340 there it is 1598 01:26:06,050 --> 01:26:01,980 now the parachute needs to open there it 1599 01:26:14,330 --> 01:26:08,390 okay we'll see if obscura can do its 1600 01:26:18,830 --> 01:26:16,790 so continuing on to pad number 61 that's 1601 01:26:21,950 --> 01:26:18,840 the yellow and blue rocket 1602 01:26:23,450 --> 01:26:21,960 this is the rocket box is what it looks 1603 01:26:26,270 --> 01:26:23,460 like it says from the University of 1604 01:26:30,229 --> 01:26:26,280 Tennessee in Chattanooga Tennessee 1605 01:26:33,770 --> 01:26:30,239 the name of this rocket is 1606 01:26:36,050 --> 01:26:33,780 this is a sick parvis Magna 1607 01:26:40,850 --> 01:26:36,060 greatness comes from Small Beginnings 1608 01:26:43,790 --> 01:26:40,860 okay the 25.8 pound rocket 5.15 inch 1609 01:26:47,530 --> 01:26:43,800 diameter six feet eight inches tall 1610 01:26:50,390 --> 01:26:47,540 this is flying on a CTI 1611 01:26:51,649 --> 01:26:50,400 k1440 white thunder so this is going to 1612 01:26:54,950 --> 01:26:51,659 be another one of those faster taking 1613 01:26:58,970 --> 01:26:54,960 off Motors it should go about 5 000 feet 1614 01:27:03,709 --> 01:26:58,980 I did notice this team is a a team of 10 1615 01:27:05,570 --> 01:27:03,719 team of 10 usually a rocket is no longer 1616 01:27:08,149 --> 01:27:05,580 painted they have to earn the paint job 1617 01:27:11,450 --> 01:27:08,159 but this one said it earned its paint 1618 01:27:13,550 --> 01:27:11,460 job but they put it in a wrap so I'm a 1619 01:27:16,310 --> 01:27:13,560 little confused and their approach to 1620 01:27:17,990 --> 01:27:16,320 finish and the payload isn't an acrylic 1621 01:27:21,169 --> 01:27:18,000 casing so that's pretty neat to see that 1622 01:27:23,930 --> 01:27:21,179 on pad number 61. 1623 01:27:28,010 --> 01:27:23,940 clear sky clear range we're going to 1624 01:27:31,070 --> 01:27:28,020 launch in five four three two one 1625 01:27:31,080 --> 01:27:39,950 that's the white Thunder for you 1626 01:27:44,390 --> 01:27:41,810 so that one's supposed to be at 5 000 1627 01:27:48,709 --> 01:27:44,400 feet I might do that 1628 01:27:54,590 --> 01:27:50,330 there's an event 1629 01:27:54,600 --> 01:28:03,350 then the main is set for 700 feet 1630 01:28:21,110 --> 01:28:05,450 still a few thousand feet up I can still 1631 01:28:27,290 --> 01:28:25,010 okay we're probably about 1500 feet out 1632 01:28:29,629 --> 01:28:27,300 this one main is set for 700 probably a 1633 01:28:32,090 --> 01:28:29,639 thousand feet right now should have an 1634 01:28:34,370 --> 01:28:32,100 event pretty soon there it is 1635 01:28:37,729 --> 01:28:34,380 parachute needs to open though that's 1636 01:28:41,090 --> 01:28:37,739 whoa little delay there trying to keep 1637 01:28:49,010 --> 01:28:42,530 all right 1638 01:28:54,649 --> 01:28:51,890 okay on pad 62 1639 01:28:57,530 --> 01:28:54,659 this is Society of Aeronautics and 1640 01:28:59,810 --> 01:28:57,540 rocketry University of South Florida and 1641 01:29:01,270 --> 01:28:59,820 Tampa Florida name of this rocket is 1642 01:29:06,410 --> 01:29:01,280 Bullseye 1643 01:29:09,770 --> 01:29:06,420 21.8 pounds 4.02 inch diameter 100 and 1644 01:29:12,169 --> 01:29:09,780 okay the length says 121 feet tall I 1645 01:29:14,330 --> 01:29:12,179 don't think it's 121 feet tall I'm just 1646 01:29:17,990 --> 01:29:14,340 reading the flight card 1647 01:29:19,910 --> 01:29:18,000 um this is flying on a k 1648 01:29:23,570 --> 01:29:19,920 wait a minute so 1649 01:29:24,950 --> 01:29:23,580 oh this is flying on a k780 maybe 4500 1650 01:29:26,750 --> 01:29:24,960 feet 1651 01:29:28,669 --> 01:29:26,760 and with this team I believe this might 1652 01:29:30,470 --> 01:29:28,679 be their first time here 1653 01:29:32,750 --> 01:29:30,480 their payload oh yeah I remember looking 1654 01:29:34,790 --> 01:29:32,760 at their payload they had a lot of 1655 01:29:37,070 --> 01:29:34,800 cables in it or repaired originate a lot 1656 01:29:40,129 --> 01:29:37,080 of cables they also used 1657 01:29:42,950 --> 01:29:40,139 get for the software encoding work the 1658 01:29:45,649 --> 01:29:42,960 payload can read radio signals based on 1659 01:29:47,870 --> 01:29:45,659 how the team set up the Arduino it was a 1660 01:29:50,510 --> 01:29:47,880 theory they tested and claimed it works 1661 01:29:52,610 --> 01:29:50,520 it does have elliptical fins and they do 1662 01:29:55,490 --> 01:29:52,620 have a scientific reasoning for using it 1663 01:29:56,510 --> 01:29:55,500 you'll have to check in with them on why 1664 01:29:58,370 --> 01:29:56,520 um 1665 01:30:01,610 --> 01:29:58,380 okay I think that's all the info so I'm 1666 01:30:03,470 --> 01:30:01,620 pad 62 we will watch Bullseye we have a 1667 01:30:06,770 --> 01:30:03,480 clear sky we have a clear range we're 1668 01:30:08,800 --> 01:30:06,780 going to launch in five four three two 1669 01:30:11,229 --> 01:30:08,810 one ignition 1670 01:30:15,290 --> 01:30:11,239 [Music] 1671 01:30:19,490 --> 01:30:17,689 a little whistle at the end of it 1672 01:30:22,790 --> 01:30:19,500 maybe that's why they use the elliptical 1673 01:30:27,890 --> 01:30:24,590 starting to Arc over 1674 01:30:32,209 --> 01:30:27,900 need the main at 600 feet 1675 01:30:34,550 --> 01:30:32,219 oh it's not looking good though 1676 01:30:41,030 --> 01:30:34,560 oh boy 1677 01:30:45,290 --> 01:30:42,709 so that one is now one with the Earth 1678 01:31:07,910 --> 01:30:45,300 unfortunately hopefully we can go find 1679 01:31:13,790 --> 01:31:11,930 okay on pad 63 this is Rogue Aerospace 1680 01:31:16,970 --> 01:31:13,800 New York University out of Brooklyn New 1681 01:31:19,070 --> 01:31:16,980 York the name of this rocket is Big Bird 1682 01:31:21,169 --> 01:31:19,080 so when Big Bert doesn't have a weight 1683 01:31:24,110 --> 01:31:21,179 doesn't have a diameter doesn't have a 1684 01:31:26,030 --> 01:31:24,120 length so it is unknown on all fronts 1685 01:31:27,830 --> 01:31:26,040 doesn't have a motor listed but I think 1686 01:31:31,910 --> 01:31:27,840 I know what the motor is it should be a 1687 01:31:32,689 --> 01:31:31,920 accessory l1050 it should go about 5000 1688 01:31:34,669 --> 01:31:32,699 feet 1689 01:31:37,129 --> 01:31:34,679 on the experiment information it's 1690 01:31:39,229 --> 01:31:37,139 called Little Bird this payload will 1691 01:31:43,129 --> 01:31:39,239 deploy with the launch vehicle recovery 1692 01:31:46,250 --> 01:31:43,139 system staying connected shot cord after 1693 01:31:48,709 --> 01:31:46,260 landing additionally with this team they 1694 01:31:50,689 --> 01:31:48,719 said it has a self-writing payload but 1695 01:31:52,070 --> 01:31:50,699 then they also said theoretically 1696 01:31:53,330 --> 01:31:52,080 hope it's a little better than 1697 01:31:55,729 --> 01:31:53,340 theoretically 1698 01:31:57,410 --> 01:31:55,739 I also did notice they have a 3D printed 1699 01:31:59,930 --> 01:31:57,420 shock plate don't know what that means 1700 01:32:02,090 --> 01:31:59,940 but it has one of those and this team 1701 01:32:04,090 --> 01:32:02,100 also has I thought pretty unique 1702 01:32:06,830 --> 01:32:04,100 matching uniforms in those kind of like 1703 01:32:08,629 --> 01:32:06,840 mechanic kind of Dickie style worker 1704 01:32:11,270 --> 01:32:08,639 shirts you have to go check out their uh 1705 01:32:13,669 --> 01:32:11,280 their style points there they did paint 1706 01:32:15,050 --> 01:32:13,679 the rocket in school colors they also 1707 01:32:19,550 --> 01:32:15,060 did 1708 01:32:22,189 --> 01:32:19,560 also painted the rabbit over the moon 1709 01:32:24,950 --> 01:32:22,199 and this year does Mark the year of the 1710 01:32:28,370 --> 01:32:24,960 rabbit which signifies good luck pretty 1711 01:32:30,530 --> 01:32:28,380 cool this team is have 30 members and 10 1712 01:32:35,450 --> 01:32:30,540 of them are here today 1713 01:32:40,010 --> 01:32:38,149 up being told there's a plane so if you 1714 01:32:42,110 --> 01:32:40,020 look West so over there you can see a 1715 01:32:44,209 --> 01:32:42,120 plane flying outbound 1716 01:32:45,890 --> 01:32:44,219 we don't want to fly when we see them 1717 01:33:16,729 --> 01:32:45,900 let them be out of the bound and then 1718 01:33:21,229 --> 01:33:19,490 we're still on hold we don't know what 1719 01:33:23,149 --> 01:33:21,239 the pile is doing the pilot maybe 1720 01:33:24,649 --> 01:33:23,159 doesn't know what it's doing just gonna 1721 01:33:26,209 --> 01:33:24,659 make sure the plane is clear and 1722 01:34:08,270 --> 01:33:26,219 outbound not coming our way or flying 1723 01:34:08,280 --> 01:34:14,149 we're gonna hold we see a 1724 01:34:19,669 --> 01:34:17,030 so I saw bird I saw a plane so shouldn't 1725 01:34:21,590 --> 01:34:19,679 Superman come in at any point 1726 01:34:23,750 --> 01:34:21,600 was that Batman I'm getting my 1727 01:34:25,129 --> 01:34:23,760 okay my superheroes all mixed up we're 1728 01:34:27,050 --> 01:34:25,139 just we're on a hold for just a moment 1729 01:35:08,810 --> 01:34:27,060 as the planes clear out of our viewing 1730 01:35:13,790 --> 01:35:11,209 okay planes are clear so now we can go 1731 01:35:17,090 --> 01:35:13,800 back to New York University with big 1732 01:35:19,729 --> 01:35:17,100 Burton little bird pad 63. we have a 1733 01:35:21,229 --> 01:35:19,739 clear sky we have a clear range planes 1734 01:35:26,450 --> 01:35:21,239 are now outbound we're gonna launch in 1735 01:35:33,530 --> 01:35:26,460 five four three two one ignition 1736 01:35:38,330 --> 01:35:35,930 nice boost on that one 1737 01:35:41,750 --> 01:35:38,340 supposed to go 5 000 feet 1738 01:35:41,760 --> 01:35:46,610 I'm hearing some Maybe not maybe close 1739 01:35:46,620 --> 01:35:56,629 okay there's an event 1740 01:35:56,639 --> 01:36:05,629 okay so it is under drug right now 1741 01:36:10,790 --> 01:36:08,209 so the mainly did not list on paper but 1742 01:36:17,330 --> 01:36:10,800 probably somewhere in that between 500 1743 01:36:39,169 --> 01:36:19,790 yep so we're still about a couple 1744 01:36:46,010 --> 01:36:42,110 so we're probably a thousand feet out 1745 01:36:57,530 --> 01:36:47,470 probably 1746 01:37:00,530 --> 01:36:57,540 for 500 feet oh 1747 01:37:05,750 --> 01:37:00,540 it's booster went right into the pair of 1748 01:37:05,760 --> 01:37:11,149 there's a story on that one 1749 01:37:11,159 --> 01:37:27,050 that rocket experienced all the emotions 1750 01:37:32,570 --> 01:37:30,590 okay on pad number 80. we have 1751 01:37:34,610 --> 01:37:32,580 UMass rocket team this is University of 1752 01:37:36,709 --> 01:37:34,620 Massachusetts Amherst and Amherst 1753 01:37:40,090 --> 01:37:36,719 Massachusetts name of this rocket is 1754 01:37:44,030 --> 01:37:40,100 Nemesis 46.7 pounds six inch diameter 1755 01:37:47,930 --> 01:37:44,040 8.9 feet tall does have a 3D printed 1756 01:37:51,530 --> 01:37:47,940 nose cone in booster also has a 3D 1757 01:37:53,810 --> 01:37:51,540 printed metal bulkhead I don't know how 1758 01:37:55,729 --> 01:37:53,820 they got their hands on a 3D printed 1759 01:37:58,430 --> 01:37:55,739 metal machine 1760 01:38:01,490 --> 01:37:58,440 I'd like access to that please okay the 1761 01:38:03,229 --> 01:38:01,500 remain is set for 600 feet 1762 01:38:05,990 --> 01:38:03,239 I didn't notice they had a lot of 3D 1763 01:38:08,570 --> 01:38:06,000 printed Parts their deployment did also 1764 01:38:10,189 --> 01:38:08,580 have a vertical lift system 1765 01:38:12,290 --> 01:38:10,199 and then oh this is the team that had 1766 01:38:14,750 --> 01:38:12,300 the one really small gear and the one 1767 01:38:16,669 --> 01:38:14,760 really big gear but did not know the 1768 01:38:17,870 --> 01:38:16,679 gear ratio so I'll have to check in on 1769 01:38:19,729 --> 01:38:17,880 what that is 1770 01:38:22,490 --> 01:38:19,739 we also had a their nose could have an 1771 01:38:25,850 --> 01:38:22,500 elliptical shape so it does not stick in 1772 01:38:27,530 --> 01:38:25,860 the ground they have 21 team members 13 1773 01:38:29,930 --> 01:38:27,540 of them are here 1774 01:38:31,790 --> 01:38:29,940 I also learned this team possibly might 1775 01:38:33,290 --> 01:38:31,800 have picked up the rocket in route of 1776 01:38:35,209 --> 01:38:33,300 coming here so I don't know what that 1777 01:38:38,450 --> 01:38:35,219 means they might have left it behind and 1778 01:38:43,310 --> 01:38:40,850 ah and then this is the team I did 1779 01:38:45,530 --> 01:38:43,320 notice they have the largest quick links 1780 01:38:47,510 --> 01:38:45,540 I've ever seen use I think they took the 1781 01:38:50,209 --> 01:38:47,520 one off their parents boat and put it on 1782 01:38:52,729 --> 01:38:50,219 the rocket but these are 6 000 these are 1783 01:38:54,290 --> 01:38:52,739 six thousand pound rated quick links so 1784 01:38:56,810 --> 01:38:54,300 if you need a quick link to tow 1785 01:39:01,010 --> 01:38:56,820 something after this event come see that 1786 01:39:03,530 --> 01:39:01,020 team on pad 80. we have a clear sky we 1787 01:39:07,070 --> 01:39:03,540 have a clear range on pad 80. we're 1788 01:39:11,450 --> 01:39:07,080 going to launch in five four three two 1789 01:39:11,460 --> 01:39:18,490 foreign 1790 01:39:23,990 --> 01:39:20,530 on the 1791 01:39:26,629 --> 01:39:24,000 l1355 it should go about 4 200 feet I 1792 01:39:31,129 --> 01:39:28,970 yep it is arcing over 1793 01:39:35,510 --> 01:39:31,139 there's an event 1794 01:39:35,520 --> 01:39:40,550 main is set for 600 feet 1795 01:39:40,560 --> 01:40:15,169 pretty sure the quick links will hold 1796 01:40:20,330 --> 01:40:17,750 okay I see it it's probably right around 1797 01:40:22,550 --> 01:40:20,340 a thousand feet Maine is set for 600 1798 01:40:25,310 --> 01:40:22,560 feet on this one 1799 01:40:27,950 --> 01:40:25,320 there it is 1800 01:40:36,050 --> 01:40:27,960 okay parachutes out 1801 01:40:40,490 --> 01:40:38,330 okay looks like a good flight 1802 01:40:43,310 --> 01:40:40,500 yeah right off the oh I don't have to go 1803 01:40:45,830 --> 01:40:43,320 too far off of that to get that one 1804 01:40:48,530 --> 01:40:45,840 you can see it land right there okay 1805 01:40:50,330 --> 01:40:48,540 camp at 81 we have University of Miami 1806 01:40:54,110 --> 01:40:50,340 this is the 1807 01:40:56,810 --> 01:40:54,120 University of Miami Coral Gables Florida 1808 01:41:00,729 --> 01:40:56,820 name of this rocket is Ibis one 1809 01:41:04,129 --> 01:41:00,739 uh 46.02 pounds six inch diameter 1810 01:41:06,350 --> 01:41:04,139 10.25 feet tall 1811 01:41:08,530 --> 01:41:06,360 so this the name of this experiment is 1812 01:41:12,530 --> 01:41:08,540 called another acronym 1813 01:41:14,689 --> 01:41:12,540 socci the self-orienting camera control 1814 01:41:17,750 --> 01:41:14,699 instrument uses a looking Vault to 1815 01:41:20,689 --> 01:41:17,760 retain nose cone during flight scissor 1816 01:41:24,770 --> 01:41:20,699 lift pushes out camera pushes out camera 1817 01:41:28,729 --> 01:41:24,780 and nose nose off after landing this 1818 01:41:30,110 --> 01:41:28,739 rocket is flying on a cesarini l 1720 1819 01:41:33,229 --> 01:41:30,120 white thunder so this is going to be 1820 01:41:34,490 --> 01:41:33,239 another Punchy takeoff should go about 4 1821 01:41:35,629 --> 01:41:34,500 000 feet 1822 01:41:38,090 --> 01:41:35,639 um this team this is our first time 1823 01:41:39,770 --> 01:41:38,100 competing in recent history I noticed 1824 01:41:43,609 --> 01:41:39,780 when I looked at this rocket it had a 1825 01:41:45,290 --> 01:41:43,619 super long camera or sorry super long 1826 01:41:47,689 --> 01:41:45,300 um antenna it looks like it came off a 1827 01:41:49,070 --> 01:41:47,699 car possibly so I don't know if you took 1828 01:41:50,930 --> 01:41:49,080 it from a car or something I don't know 1829 01:41:53,149 --> 01:41:50,940 what happened with that they did paint 1830 01:41:55,189 --> 01:41:53,159 it in their school colors it is a 20 1831 01:41:58,070 --> 01:41:55,199 person team they also did mention they 1832 01:42:00,770 --> 01:41:58,080 had a lot of 4 am working nights so 1833 01:42:03,290 --> 01:42:00,780 hopefully that all has paid off pad 81 1834 01:42:21,830 --> 01:42:03,300 clear sky clear range we're launching in 1835 01:42:27,350 --> 01:42:24,410 starting to Arc over there's an event 1836 01:42:45,649 --> 01:42:27,360 there's its back up to the apogee uh oh 1837 01:42:49,550 --> 01:42:47,930 and you can still see the tracking smoke 1838 01:43:11,149 --> 01:42:49,560 on that one that's gonna go for some 1839 01:43:15,709 --> 01:43:13,370 okay so I guess this team is going for 1840 01:44:01,910 --> 01:43:15,719 the L parachute duration 1841 01:44:07,189 --> 01:44:03,649 so we're just gonna wait to make sure 1842 01:44:09,169 --> 01:44:07,199 the um that rocket is in a good spot for 1843 01:44:11,209 --> 01:44:09,179 us so that we can we have one more 1844 01:44:13,070 --> 01:44:11,219 rocket but then we're still gonna hold 1845 01:44:15,229 --> 01:44:13,080 because we've already got the backup 1846 01:44:16,970 --> 01:44:15,239 igniters and we'll put that one I 1847 01:44:18,410 --> 01:44:16,980 believe that was in temples Rockets so 1848 01:44:20,590 --> 01:44:18,420 we'll come back to we'll come back to 1849 01:44:25,310 --> 01:44:20,600 that one 1850 01:44:30,410 --> 01:44:27,649 okay well I'll start reading up to the 1851 01:44:33,410 --> 01:44:30,420 next the next one so this is the uh 1852 01:44:35,990 --> 01:44:33,420 charger rocket works on pad 82. this is 1853 01:44:37,970 --> 01:44:36,000 the oh I guess the team knows what their 1854 01:44:39,229 --> 01:44:37,980 name is that's good 1855 01:44:42,350 --> 01:44:39,239 I didn't even say which university 1856 01:44:43,370 --> 01:44:42,360 that's good University of Alabama in 1857 01:44:44,570 --> 01:44:43,380 Huntsville 1858 01:44:47,830 --> 01:44:44,580 and 1859 01:44:51,770 --> 01:44:47,840 the name of this rocket is Argo 1860 01:44:54,350 --> 01:44:51,780 55.6 pounds six inch in diameter 7.9 1861 01:44:58,490 --> 01:44:54,360 feet tall this does also have a jolly 1862 01:45:01,010 --> 01:44:58,500 logic it is ejected at apogee deploy is 1863 01:45:02,990 --> 01:45:01,020 at the main deploys at 700 feet 1864 01:45:04,970 --> 01:45:03,000 the name of the rocket is The Argonaut 1865 01:45:07,910 --> 01:45:04,980 or for the experiment information it is 1866 01:45:10,550 --> 01:45:07,920 a autonomous leveling platform for 1867 01:45:13,490 --> 01:45:10,560 imagery of the planetary surface 1868 01:45:15,370 --> 01:45:13,500 controlled by rafco 1869 01:45:19,850 --> 01:45:15,380 set 1870 01:45:22,790 --> 01:45:19,860 by NASA using aprs 1871 01:45:24,169 --> 01:45:22,800 being told or notified that we hear some 1872 01:45:30,050 --> 01:45:24,179 aircraft 1873 01:45:44,870 --> 01:45:33,050 yep it's out there going heading 1874 01:45:49,430 --> 01:45:46,790 so with this team I also did notice 1875 01:45:53,270 --> 01:45:49,440 they're flying on a cesaroni l 2375 1876 01:45:55,430 --> 01:45:53,280 should go about 5 000 feet that's they 1877 01:45:59,810 --> 01:45:55,440 the team also claimed this is called 1878 01:46:02,149 --> 01:45:59,820 p-cup technology p dash cup technology 1879 01:46:05,570 --> 01:46:02,159 they said it might be proprietary might 1880 01:46:08,390 --> 01:46:05,580 be trademarked who knows 1881 01:46:11,270 --> 01:46:08,400 um and with the name of this rock at the 1882 01:46:14,290 --> 01:46:11,280 Argo it they also had mentioned though 1883 01:46:17,870 --> 01:46:14,300 this says it ties into Greek mythology 1884 01:46:21,290 --> 01:46:17,880 nose cone from skilla 1885 01:46:23,870 --> 01:46:21,300 Grill skilla from Odyssey which is a 1886 01:46:27,530 --> 01:46:23,880 supernatural female creature with 12 1887 01:46:29,570 --> 01:46:27,540 feet and six heads in Long snakey necks 1888 01:46:32,510 --> 01:46:29,580 I don't know how they should how the 1889 01:46:34,910 --> 01:46:32,520 team settled on that but they did 1890 01:46:37,250 --> 01:46:34,920 um this team also did have a half inch 1891 01:46:39,470 --> 01:46:37,260 aluminum bulk plate I don't think he 1892 01:46:40,669 --> 01:46:39,480 needed it to be that thick but they did 1893 01:46:42,950 --> 01:46:40,679 that 1894 01:46:44,570 --> 01:46:42,960 they also learned about not putting rail 1895 01:46:47,030 --> 01:46:44,580 buttons in line with the altimeter 1896 01:46:48,770 --> 01:46:47,040 switches on their subscale flight don't 1897 01:46:51,169 --> 01:46:48,780 put those in the same line we've all 1898 01:46:54,050 --> 01:46:51,179 probably learned that the hard way 1899 01:46:56,510 --> 01:46:54,060 they also did mention they may have sent 1900 01:46:59,930 --> 01:46:56,520 the wrong version of their frr to the 1901 01:47:03,050 --> 01:46:59,940 NASA team they sent draft one draft one 1902 01:47:05,750 --> 01:47:03,060 included a lot of memes and a lot of 1903 01:47:07,669 --> 01:47:05,760 goofy stuff I guess so I'm sure our 1904 01:47:13,250 --> 01:47:07,679 business folks can relate if you send in 1905 01:47:18,590 --> 01:47:16,189 okay we're good we're on pad 82. clear 1906 01:47:21,669 --> 01:47:18,600 sky clear range we are going to launch 1907 01:47:26,450 --> 01:47:21,679 the University of Alabama in Huntsville 1908 01:47:33,290 --> 01:47:26,460 launching in five four three two one 1909 01:47:33,300 --> 01:47:39,590 I think I 1910 01:47:39,600 --> 01:47:44,689 so that one's supposed to go 5 000 feet 1911 01:47:52,310 --> 01:47:47,810 that's the LL 2375 1912 01:48:05,030 --> 01:47:55,129 just a really small drogue the main is 1913 01:48:05,040 --> 01:48:12,649 well 1914 01:48:17,689 --> 01:48:15,290 all right so now we are probably about a 1915 01:48:21,229 --> 01:48:17,699 thousand feet should have the main here 1916 01:48:24,649 --> 01:48:21,239 pretty soon probably 800 feet right now 1917 01:48:31,970 --> 01:48:24,659 the main is set for 700 feet 1918 01:48:36,530 --> 01:48:34,550 so we we're not going out range is still 1919 01:48:38,090 --> 01:48:36,540 closed right now we just have we're 1920 01:48:40,850 --> 01:48:38,100 putting in another igniter and we're 1921 01:49:27,530 --> 01:48:40,860 gonna recycle and fly this one 1922 01:49:31,729 --> 01:49:29,209 so as this one is just about to touch 1923 01:49:34,189 --> 01:49:31,739 down we're putting in another igniter 1924 01:49:37,189 --> 01:49:34,199 the team that had the uh 1925 01:49:39,950 --> 01:49:37,199 higher than normal descent rate came in 1926 01:49:42,050 --> 01:49:39,960 ballistic one Dart if you will send one 1927 01:49:44,689 --> 01:49:42,060 of your representatives up to the lco 1928 01:49:45,950 --> 01:49:44,699 desk or the RSO desk so for that team 1929 01:49:48,830 --> 01:49:45,960 that just had that one come in a little 1930 01:49:51,950 --> 01:49:48,840 quick very quick very very quick send 1931 01:49:54,410 --> 01:49:51,960 someone up to the lco or RSO desks which 1932 01:50:14,510 --> 01:49:54,420 wanted to have a quick debrief on that 1933 01:50:17,450 --> 01:50:16,010 so I want to make a quick announcement 1934 01:50:20,450 --> 01:50:17,460 there is a truck parked in the wrong

you may or may not be told if you don't 1947 01:51:33,470 --> 01:50:59,450 so we're just putting in another igniter 1948 01:51:38,209 --> 01:51:35,750 since we're putting in the other we're 1949 01:51:40,070 --> 01:51:38,219 putting the neck and igniter right now 1950 01:51:41,629 --> 01:51:40,080 just want to say hello to those that are 1951 01:51:43,250 --> 01:51:41,639 online I'm kind of looking through the 1952 01:51:45,950 --> 01:51:43,260 phone and everyone's being nice and very 1953 01:51:48,770 --> 01:51:45,960 civilized on the chats and encouraging 1954 01:51:51,830 -->

Philadelphia 1960 01:54:16,850 --> 01:54:14,219 Pennsylvania name of this rock is Balboa 1961 01:54:21,290 --> 01:54:16,860 it's got the in-flight camera and 360 1962 01:54:24,169 --> 01:54:21,300 Imaging system IFL takes 360. 1963 01:54:27,350 --> 01:54:24,179 uh fov during flight ground camera 1964 01:54:28,729 --> 01:54:27,360 deploys and takes a series of photos of 1965 01:54:31,790 --> 01:54:28,739 the launch vehicles and surroundings 1966 01:54:33,609 --> 01:54:31,800 this is again on pad 41. it's flying on 1967 01:54:49,669 --> 01:54:33,619 the 1968 01:54:53,930 --> 01:54:49,679 we have a clear sky clear range new 1969 01:54:58,010 --> 01:54:53,940 igniter launching in five four three two 1970 01:55:04,850 --> 01:54:59,400 there it goes 1971 01:55:10,729 --> 01:55:07,629 so this one's supposed to go 4 1972 01:55:16,310 --> 01:55:10,739 935 feet 1973 01:55:16,320 --> 01:55:22,850 starting to Arc over there is an event 1974 01:55:27,430 --> 01:55:25,010 I hear the backup 1975 01:55:41,629 --> 01:55:27,440 main is set for 1976 01:55:54,189 --> 01:55:43,070 they were still probably about a couple 1977 01:55:54,199 --> 01:56:03,350 still probably maybe 1500 1978 01:56:03,360 --> 01:56:09,229 should be now about a thousand 1979 01:56:13,970 --> 01:56:11,149 should be just under a thousand and 1980 01:56:15,410 --> 01:56:13,980 we're the main is set for 650 feet there 1981 01:56:18,590 --> 01:56:15,420 it is 1982 01:56:20,390 --> 01:56:18,600 usually the parachute opens 1983 01:56:22,609 --> 01:56:20,400 I hope you did not leave it rubber band 1984 01:56:24,830 --> 01:56:22,619 bound up because that's what that might 1985 01:56:26,330 --> 01:56:24,840 look like 1986 01:56:28,250 --> 01:56:26,340 okay everyone give yourselves a hand we 1987 01:56:30,350 --> 01:56:28,260 got through that first that first uh 1988 01:56:32,570 --> 01:56:30,360 volley so we're a third way there nice 1989 01:56:35,030 --> 01:56:32,580 work so team when you're recovering your 1990 01:56:37,070 --> 01:56:35,040 Rockets make sure that stuff is going 1991 01:56:39,410 --> 01:56:37,080 you stay outside there's everything 1992 01:56:42,129 --> 01:56:39,420 marked around the perimeter you'll see 1993 01:56:44,750 --> 01:56:42,139 orange or yellow 1994 01:56:46,609 --> 01:56:44,760 markings around the perimeter so if 1995 01:56:48,229 --> 01:56:46,619 you're still out there well we're 1996 01:56:49,970 --> 01:56:48,239 starting to launch the second volley you 1997 01:56:52,850 --> 01:56:49,980 have to stay outside of that range 1998 01:56:55,310 --> 01:56:52,860 coming back in 1999 01:57:02,290 --> 01:56:55,320 oh you have to go outside to get it 2000 01:57:07,669 --> 01:57:05,390 of rockets 17 Rockets to take into the 2001 01:57:09,950 --> 01:57:07,679 air hey just a reminder we are live with 2002 01:57:11,870 --> 01:57:09,960 you on YouTube and Facebook make sure if 2003 01:57:13,370 --> 01:57:11,880 you have any questions uh make sure to 2004 01:57:14,930 --> 01:57:13,380 comment those and we'll try to get to 2005 01:57:16,910 --> 01:57:14,940 them on air also give us a shout out 2006 01:57:18,709 --> 01:57:16,920 where are you from who what team are you 2007 01:57:20,990 --> 01:57:18,719 pulling for I can tell you one of the 2008 01:57:22,910 --> 01:57:21,000 teams that I'm with now it's truly an 2009 01:57:25,970 --> 01:57:22,920 honor for me to be here with the United 2010 01:57:27,589 --> 01:57:25,980 States Military Academy y'all how are 2011 01:57:30,050 --> 01:57:27,599 you feeling today after seeing those 2012 01:57:31,310 --> 01:57:30,060 first launches coming we're doing great 2013 01:57:33,290 --> 01:57:31,320 sir so first of all thank you for having 2014 01:57:34,609 --> 01:57:33,300 us here it's been a long journey but 2015 01:57:36,169 --> 01:57:34,619 after seeing those Rockets take off 2016 01:57:38,030 --> 01:57:36,179 we're more excited than we've ever been 2017 01:57:40,010 --> 01:57:38,040 we're confident in our system we're 2018 01:57:41,990 --> 01:57:40,020 ready to watch you fly so you guys are 2019 01:57:43,609 --> 01:57:42,000 launching later in the day how do you 2020 01:57:45,290 --> 01:57:43,619 think your Rocket's gonna do compared to 2021 01:57:47,450 --> 01:57:45,300 these other ones that we just saw 2022 01:57:49,609 --> 01:57:47,460 so we've seen some of the way that teams 2023 01:57:51,290 --> 01:57:49,619 have formula Solutions the problems that 2024 01:57:53,030 --> 01:57:51,300 you've given us and we can definitely 2025 01:57:55,070 --> 01:57:53,040 say our rocket is going to perform a lot 2026 01:57:56,450 --> 01:57:55,080 faster than most of these teams you know 2027 01:57:58,129 --> 01:57:56,460 we're in the Army we like to move fast 2028 01:58:00,290 --> 01:57:58,139 so we're going to definitely give you a 2029 01:58:02,089 --> 01:58:00,300 show and you know seeing some of the 2030 01:58:03,649 --> 01:58:02,099 failures we're slightly nervous but 2031 01:58:05,450 --> 01:58:03,659 having tested our system over four times 2032 01:58:07,070 --> 01:58:05,460 having double checked triple checked 2033 01:58:09,350 --> 01:58:07,080 everything we know our stuff is going to 2034 01:58:11,270 --> 01:58:09,360 work excellent so lots of testing lots 2035 01:58:12,830 --> 01:58:11,280 of preparation went into this you guys 2036 01:58:14,330 --> 01:58:12,840 are launching later today talk to us 2037 01:58:16,729 --> 01:58:14,340 about the payload challenge how did you 2038 01:58:18,890 --> 01:58:16,739 guys tackle uh the requirements given to 2039 01:58:21,410 --> 01:58:18,900 you by the NASA challenge 2040 01:58:23,209 --> 01:58:21,420 sir so our payload is a cylindrical 2041 01:58:25,310 --> 01:58:23,219 payload that actually unlike a lot of 2042 01:58:27,470 --> 01:58:25,320 the teams here leaves the body tube when 2043 01:58:29,270 --> 01:58:27,480 it deploys from the main oh what happens 2044 01:58:30,950 --> 01:58:29,280 then is the payload then reaches the 2045 01:58:33,050 --> 01:58:30,960 ground and then pushes itself upright 2046 01:58:34,790 --> 01:58:33,060 using some self-riding legs uh we have 2047 01:58:36,410 --> 01:58:34,800 an onboard gyroscope on there to be able 2048 01:58:38,810 --> 01:58:36,420 to correct any orientation errors we 2049 01:58:40,430 --> 01:58:38,820 have and it can retract and re-extend 2050 01:58:42,530 --> 01:58:40,440 depending on the orientation where it's 2051 01:58:43,850 --> 01:58:42,540 at now if that doesn't work it can go up 2052 01:58:45,470 --> 01:58:43,860 to a maximum of three times before it 2053 01:58:47,089 --> 01:58:45,480 locks out in the extended position and 2054 01:58:49,189 --> 01:58:47,099 then it goes on to the RF Imaging 2055 01:58:51,530 --> 01:58:49,199 sequence so our payload is supposed to 2056 01:58:53,810 --> 01:58:51,540 be designed to be able to be deployed on 2057 01:58:55,189 --> 01:58:53,820 mass say like in a potential lunar 2058 01:58:56,930 --> 01:58:55,199 lander situation A Mars Landing 2059 01:58:58,850 --> 01:58:56,940 situation we can deploy these payloads 2060 01:59:01,010 --> 01:58:58,860 like cubesats that serve a potential 2061 01:59:03,470 --> 01:59:01,020 Landing sites and get a ground level 2062 01:59:05,930 --> 01:59:03,480 view of where we might potentially land 2063 01:59:08,209 --> 01:59:05,940 okay that's freaking awesome I love that 2064 01:59:09,410 --> 01:59:08,219 guys tell us what the experience has 2065 01:59:11,330 --> 01:59:09,420 been like I know you guys have had some 2066 01:59:12,169 --> 01:59:11,340 challenges just to get here to launch 2067 01:59:13,910 --> 01:59:12,179 day 2068 01:59:15,530 --> 01:59:13,920 right sir so one of the biggest things 2069 01:59:17,810 --> 01:59:15,540 you have to overcome is this is our 2070 01:59:19,609 --> 01:59:17,820 first year ever doing student launch at 2071 01:59:21,169 --> 01:59:19,619 the Academy so we did not have really 2072 01:59:22,669 --> 01:59:21,179 the organizations to fully support this 2073 01:59:24,109 --> 01:59:22,679 we haven't done this before so 2074 01:59:26,270 --> 01:59:24,119 thankfully some other teams have helped 2075 01:59:27,890 --> 01:59:26,280 us out to get our Rockets here and we're 2076 01:59:29,990 --> 01:59:27,900 able to fly down the cadets from West 2077 01:59:32,030 --> 01:59:30,000 Point but it's also been a challenge of 2078 01:59:33,169 --> 01:59:32,040 you know repeatedly testing the stuff 2079 01:59:35,330 --> 01:59:33,179 and just going out there and learning 2080 01:59:37,310 --> 01:59:35,340 like hey we never learned these lessons 2081 01:59:39,229 --> 01:59:37,320 before we've had so many failures that 2082 01:59:41,510 --> 01:59:39,239 we've taken into our later designs and 2083 01:59:43,070 --> 01:59:41,520 now we know what to do so all that 2084 01:59:44,990 --> 01:59:43,080 learning that's taking these teams 2085 01:59:47,330 --> 01:59:45,000 Decades of student launch competitions 2086 01:59:50,149 --> 01:59:47,340 we've done within an eight-month period 2087 01:59:52,070 --> 01:59:50,159 and we're here to compete as strong as 2088 01:59:54,530 --> 01:59:52,080 they are that's awesome you know Homer 2089 01:59:55,790 --> 01:59:54,540 Hickam the famous rocket boy called it a 2090 01:59:57,050 --> 01:59:55,800 book of knowledge it certainly sounds 2091 01:59:58,669 --> 01:59:57,060 like you guys have built that Book of 2092 01:59:59,930 --> 01:59:58,679 Knowledge anybody back home you want to 2093 02:00:01,669 --> 01:59:59,940 make sure you give a shout out to or 2094 02:00:03,470 --> 02:00:01,679 think right so obviously want to thank 2095 02:00:04,790 --> 02:00:03,480 the academy for supporting us all the 2096 02:00:06,589 --> 02:00:04,800 five departments that came together as 2097 02:00:10,669 --> 02:00:06,599 well as the kid advisors and most 2098 02:00:13,250 --> 02:00:10,679

doing great the launch went 2112 02:00:45,350 --> 02:00:43,619 fantastic yeah awesome I saw the launch 2113 02:00:47,149 --> 02:00:45,360 went a little bit far out into the tree 2114 02:00:49,550 --> 02:00:47,159 so is your team busy retrieving it right 2115 02:00:51,470 --> 02:00:49,560 now yep right now we're on our way to go 2116 02:00:52,729 --> 02:00:51,480 retrieve a rocket um it was lodged 2117 02:00:54,589 --> 02:00:52,739 between the trees so that's gonna be a 2118 02:00:55,910 --> 02:00:54,599 challenge but we're glad that the launch 2119 02:00:57,290 --> 02:00:55,920 went well and it was recovered 2120 02:00:59,689 --> 02:00:57,300 successfully yeah absolutely 2121 02:01:01,189 --> 02:00:59,699 congratulations on that so throughout 2122 02:01:03,890 --> 02:01:01,199 the season did your team face any 2123 02:01:05,990 --> 02:01:03,900 certain challenges or difficulties yes 2124 02:01:07,729 --> 02:01:06,000 we had um you know a plethora of 2125 02:01:10,370 --> 02:01:07,739 different challenges that came in our 2126 02:01:12,470 --> 02:01:10,380 way beginning at the in the beginning of 2127 02:01:14,330 --> 02:01:12,480 the school year our advisor sadly passed 2128 02:01:16,669 --> 02:01:14,340 away and so you know it was a challenge 2129 02:01:18,830 --> 02:01:16,679 to go find a new advisor and make sure 2130 02:01:21,530 --> 02:01:18,840 the team was taken care of in the new 2131 02:01:23,870 --> 02:01:21,540 advisor's hands we also were set back 2132 02:01:26,030 --> 02:01:23,880 because there was a fire in a Design Lab 2133 02:01:27,410 --> 02:01:26,040 that was very close to our lab and so we 2134 02:01:29,390 --> 02:01:27,420 had to make sure that that was taken 2135 02:01:30,649 --> 02:01:29,400 care of and we had to revise our safety 2136 02:01:33,589 --> 02:01:30,659 standards to make sure they were you 2137 02:01:34,910 --> 02:01:33,599 know up to date apart from that we also 2138 02:01:38,030 --> 02:01:34,920 had a lot of challenges in terms of 2139 02:01:39,830 --> 02:01:38,040 weather and being able to fly on time to 2140 02:01:42,109 --> 02:01:39,840 make sure that we met the deadline said 2141 02:01:44,030 --> 02:01:42,119 by NASA but overall the team trudged 2142 02:01:46,189 --> 02:01:44,040 through and did a great job and I'm so 2143 02:01:47,870 --> 02:01:46,199 proud of everyone yeah absolutely 2144 02:01:49,129 --> 02:01:47,880 sometimes you know rocket is a design 2145 02:01:51,109 --> 02:01:49,139 and competitions come with a lot of 2146 02:01:53,750 --> 02:01:51,119 adversities and challenges but it seems 2147 02:01:57,310 --> 02:01:53,760 like you guys are super resilient so 2148 02:02:04,189 --> 02:01:59,930 I'm talking 2149 02:02:04,199 --> 02:02:08,990 women are just like 2150 02:02:09,000 --> 02:02:11,830 um 2151 02:02:11,840 --> 02:02:31,250 you see did you join the team 2152 02:02:35,030 --> 02:02:33,169 yeah 2153 02:02:37,669 --> 02:02:35,040 hey everyone I'm here with Central 2154 02:02:39,410 --> 02:02:37,679 Washington uh their rocket hasn't flown 2155 02:02:40,669 --> 02:02:39,420 yet so talk to us what's going through 2156 02:02:42,830 --> 02:02:40,679 your mind now that you've seen the first 2157 02:02:44,450 --> 02:02:42,840 volley of rockets go I'm feeling really 2158 02:02:45,950 --> 02:02:44,460 good about it we've had nice straight 2159 02:02:47,870 --> 02:02:45,960 flights everything's been well for us 2160 02:02:49,430 --> 02:02:47,880 seeing that lawn dart made me a little 2161 02:02:50,450 --> 02:02:49,440 bit nervous but we're not going to do 2162 02:02:52,310 --> 02:02:50,460 that we're going to have a gorgeous 2163 02:02:53,990 --> 02:02:52,320 flight so our view for our viewers back 2164 02:02:56,149 --> 02:02:54,000 home who may not be super familiar with 2165 02:02:58,609 --> 02:02:56,159 rocketry what would cost something like 2166 02:03:00,050 --> 02:02:58,619 a lot and I know it's speculation but if 2167 02:03:01,250 --> 02:03:00,060 your rocket were to do that what's kind 2168 02:03:02,209 --> 02:03:01,260 of your first thought that you're going 2169 02:03:03,890 --> 02:03:02,219 what's the first thing you're going to 2170 02:03:05,930 --> 02:03:03,900 go look for my first thought is going to 2171 02:03:07,370 --> 02:03:05,940 be Electronics a faulty altimeter or a 2172 02:03:09,589 --> 02:03:07,380 faulty connection maybe something that 2173 02:03:10,910 --> 02:03:09,599 got pulled out we've done enough testing 2174 02:03:12,169 --> 02:03:10,920 with our ejection charges we know 2175 02:03:14,270 --> 02:03:12,179 they're the right size to get that 2176 02:03:15,530 --> 02:03:14,280 parachute out but if for some reason the 2177 02:03:17,629 --> 02:03:15,540 electronics failed us and it didn't 2178 02:03:19,790 --> 02:03:17,639 deploy that that would be my guess it's 2179 02:03:21,530 --> 02:03:19,800 always a bad day to see it so talk to us 2180 02:03:23,330 --> 02:03:21,540 about your rock how tall is it how did 2181 02:03:25,010 --> 02:03:23,340 you tackle this payload challenge it's a 2182 02:03:28,010 --> 02:03:25,020 camera I understand that has to take 2183 02:03:34,669 --> 02:03:28,020 signals from a NASA Tower yeah 2184 02:03:38,149 --> 02:03:36,649 10 Periscope so it'll push the nose cone 2185 02:03:40,370 --> 02:03:38,159 off the camera comes on out and it does 2186 02:03:41,450 --> 02:03:40,380 its little spin around oh that's cool so 2187 02:03:44,689 --> 02:03:41,460 coming all the way from Washington 2188 02:03:46,250 --> 02:03:44,699 that's a long way from North Alabama how 2189 02:03:47,750 --> 02:03:46,260 has it been like trying to get down here 2190 02:03:49,609 --> 02:03:47,760 getting your rocket your payload here 2191 02:03:52,189 --> 02:03:49,619 what's that experience been like for you 2192 02:03:54,109 --> 02:03:52,199 all you know actually really fun TSA has 2193 02:03:55,729 --> 02:03:54,119 been very nice to

02:04:00,239 it's kind of a challenge getting out 2197 02:04:03,290 --> 02:04:01,860 it's a two-hour drive to the airport six 2198 02:04:06,109 --> 02:04:03,300 hour flight down here and then a three

2387 02:44:54,290 --> 02:44:50,640 oh we got a person entering the range 2388 02:44:56,510 --> 02:44:54,300 always outside the flags okay 2389 02:44:58,900 --> 02:44:56,520 we are now starting volley too so we can 2390 02:45:02,210 --> 02:44:58,910 accuse the woohoo again there we go 2391 02:45:04,490 --> 02:45:02,220 [Applause] 2392 02:45:09,410 --> 02:45:04,500 all right so now we're gonna start with 2393 02:45:12,590 --> 02:45:09,420 pad 20. this is Yamhill carton I'm sorry 2394 02:45:15,170 --> 02:45:12,600 Carlton SLI this is Yamhill Carlton high 2395 02:45:17,090 --> 02:45:15,180 school out of Vienna Hill Oregon 2396 02:45:19,969 --> 02:45:17,100 this is on pad 20. the name of this 2397 02:45:23,290 --> 02:45:19,979 rocket is the germinator it's a 19.8 2398 02:45:26,570 --> 02:45:23,300 pound rocket 4 inch in diameter 2399 02:45:28,969 --> 02:45:26,580 8.275 feet with the vehicle notes this 2400 02:45:32,450 --> 02:45:28,979 does have a direct airflow from nose 2401 02:45:36,010 --> 02:45:32,460 cone intakes to the intakes to power the 2402 02:45:40,849 --> 02:45:38,990 technology it's definitely unique they 2403 02:45:43,429 --> 02:45:40,859 also do have the acronym of course it's 2404 02:45:47,389 --> 02:45:43,439 called the k-a-s-a which stands for 2405 02:45:49,370 --> 02:45:47,399 kinetic agricultural seed apparatus our 2406 02:45:52,190 --> 02:45:49,380 payload harnesses the airflow and 2407 02:45:55,070 --> 02:45:52,200 kinetic energy of the rocket to power an 2408 02:45:58,190 --> 02:45:55,080 internal turbine that spins a speed 2409 02:46:01,490 --> 02:45:58,200 canister deployed seeds per particulates 2410 02:46:02,990 --> 02:46:01,500 at motor burnout now for the for the 2411 02:46:04,849 --> 02:46:03,000 flight today they're not going to be 2412 02:46:07,370 --> 02:46:04,859 reseeding the brag Farm they're not 2413 02:46:08,570 --> 02:46:07,380 doing that today it is capable of doing 2414 02:46:11,330 --> 02:46:08,580 that but they're not going to do that 2415 02:46:13,670 --> 02:46:11,340 for today they didn't ask for it well 2416 02:46:16,910 --> 02:46:13,680 this rocket is definitely flying uh it's 2417 02:46:20,090 --> 02:46:16,920 an Aerotech k695 red line should go 2418 02:46:21,530 --> 02:46:20,100 about 4 200 feet 2419 02:46:23,389 --> 02:46:21,540 um I did notice it has a really cool 2420 02:46:26,450 --> 02:46:23,399 unique paint job on it it actually does 2421 02:46:29,030 --> 02:46:26,460 have laser engraving on the fins the 2422 02:46:30,830 --> 02:46:29,040 team did vote on five different ideas to 2423 02:46:33,230 --> 02:46:30,840 determine how to paint and finish the 2424 02:46:35,870 --> 02:46:33,240 rocket I am also aware it was a 2425 02:46:39,550 --> 02:46:35,880 father-daughter project to finish and 2426 02:46:43,429 --> 02:46:39,560 paint the rocket so that's pretty cool 2427 02:46:45,230 --> 02:46:43,439 okay on pad 20 we have a clear sky we 2428 02:46:48,410 --> 02:46:45,240 have a clear rain on the germinator 2429 02:46:55,790 --> 02:46:48,420 we're going to launch in five four three 2430 02:47:00,889 --> 02:46:58,429 okay nice straight up boost headed on 2431 02:47:03,469 --> 02:47:00,899 its way to 4 200 feet 2432 02:47:05,809 --> 02:47:03,479 can air or hold of the nose come that's 2433 02:47:08,210 --> 02:47:05,819 supposed to spin up a turbine 2434 02:47:10,610 --> 02:47:08,220 them with theoretically spread seeds 2435 02:47:15,410 --> 02:47:10,620 there's an event there's a backup to the 2436 02:47:20,929 --> 02:47:17,090 and then the main for this one is set 2437 02:47:24,530 --> 02:47:23,030 and just right above the side so this 2438 02:47:26,870 --> 02:47:24,540 one will 2439 02:47:36,590 --> 02:47:26,880 underdrop parachute go right through the 2440 02:47:40,070 --> 02:47:38,450 okay now it's just to the yeah just 2441 02:47:42,469 --> 02:47:40,080 below to the side a little to the left 2442 02:47:46,550 --> 02:47:45,050 okay we should be probably 1200 feet 2443 02:47:49,250 --> 02:47:46,560 right now 2444 02:47:51,290 --> 02:47:49,260 entering a thousand feet 2445 02:47:54,230 --> 02:47:51,300 probably 800 feet right there and then 2446 02:47:56,770 --> 02:47:54,240 there's your 600. oh 2447 02:47:59,270 --> 02:47:56,780 well now 2448 02:48:01,510 --> 02:47:59,280 this rocket has an experience all the 2449 02:48:03,110 --> 02:48:01,520 emotions 2450 02:48:04,809 --> 02:48:03,120 [Music] 2451 02:48:23,590 --> 02:48:04,819 State got caught 2452 02:48:28,490 --> 02:48:25,910 being told to hear some 2453 02:48:47,270 --> 02:48:28,500 aircraft eastbound or coming from the 2454 02:48:47,280 --> 02:48:51,349 I think it's just the microphone okay 2455 02:48:56,090 --> 02:48:52,610 okay 2456 02:48:59,450 --> 02:48:56,100 we have cylons this is 2457 02:49:00,410 --> 02:48:59,460 this is um Iowa State University in Ames 2458 02:49:02,990 --> 02:49:00,420 Iowa 2459 02:49:05,870 --> 02:49:03,000 the team did seem very excited oh yeah 2460 02:49:07,790 --> 02:49:05,880 we're here oh that's a little better now 2461 02:49:10,190 --> 02:49:07,800 they're a little more excited the name 2462 02:49:13,130 --> 02:49:10,200 of this rocket is Craig Square I'd love 2463 02:49:17,050 --> 02:49:13,140 to hear the background on Craig this is 2464 02:49:19,429 --> 02:49:17,060 a 24.1 pound rocket 4.75 inch diameter 2465 02:49:21,710 --> 02:49:19,439 8.6 feet tall 2466 02:49:25,429 --> 02:49:21,720 so this rocket if you didn't see is a 2467 02:49:29,570 --> 02:49:25,439 fully 3D painted rocket made out of petg 2468 02:49:32,210 --> 02:49:29,580 I mean top to bottom fully 3D printed 2469 02:49:35,570 --> 02:49:32,220 the name of the experiment information 2470 02:49:37,969 --> 02:49:35,580 is called the lunker it is a centrally 2471 02:49:41,570 --> 02:49:37,979 rotating stepper motor 2472 02:49:44,090 --> 02:49:41,580 that picks up the that picks the utmost 2473 02:49:46,730 --> 02:49:44,100 facing door as a linear actuator that 2474 02:49:48,710 --> 02:49:46,740 pushes the camera out and a Servo that 2475 02:49:49,210 --> 02:49:48,720 rotates the camera for different 2476 02:49:50,809 --> 02:49:49,220 pictures 2477 02:49:54,730 --> 02:49:50,819 [Music] 2478 02:49:57,710 --> 02:49:54,740 and so this rocket is flying on Aerotek 2479 02:50:09,050 --> 02:49:57,720 k780 Redline 2480 02:50:15,590 --> 02:50:11,990 a hold for a moment 2481 02:50:18,170 --> 02:50:15,600 okay we're being told to continue 2482 02:50:21,530 --> 02:50:18,180 okay so then this rocket is um again 2483 02:50:24,050 --> 02:50:21,540 flying on Aerotek k780 Redline should go 2484 02:50:26,210 --> 02:50:24,060 4 500 feet and I did notice looking at 2485 02:50:28,309 --> 02:50:26,220 the rocket it doesn't have the payload 2486 02:50:29,570 --> 02:50:28,319 doors that open like a cuckoo clock but 2487 02:50:30,770 --> 02:50:29,580 they wouldn't call it the cuckoo clock 2488 02:50:33,110 --> 02:50:30,780 technology 2489 02:50:35,330 --> 02:50:33,120 and I also did notice with the 3D 2490 02:50:36,770 --> 02:50:35,340 printed rocket they actually printed it 2491 02:50:38,690 --> 02:50:36,780 where it needed very minimal pulse 2492 02:50:40,910 --> 02:50:38,700 production so when they 3D printed it it 2493 02:50:42,530 --> 02:50:40,920 had The Notches already in it it had the 2494 02:50:45,050 --> 02:50:42,540 or the screws to go right in so 2495 02:50:47,210 --> 02:50:45,060 it's pretty clever how the team had that 2496 02:50:49,490 --> 02:50:47,220 all prepared and ready to go they have a 2497 02:50:51,770 --> 02:50:49,500 total of 12 team members and eight of 2498 02:50:56,510 --> 02:50:51,780 them are here today 2499 02:50:58,250 --> 02:50:56,520 okay so this is on pad number 22. the 2500 02:51:01,070 --> 02:50:58,260 correct squared rocket we have a clear 2501 02:51:04,849 --> 02:51:01,080 sky we have a clear range we're ready to 2502 02:51:16,330 --> 02:51:04,859 see some 3D print can go in five four 2503 02:51:28,969 --> 02:51:22,070 in five four three two one ignition 2504 02:51:35,090 --> 02:51:31,910 nice straight up boost on that one 2505 02:51:36,770 --> 02:51:35,100 the fully 3D printed rocket 2506 02:51:38,090 --> 02:51:36,780 I think they're trying to go for the 3D 2507 02:51:40,730 --> 02:51:38,100 print award 2508 02:51:46,070 --> 02:51:40,740 maybe I don't know 2509 02:51:46,080 --> 02:51:56,710 foreign 2510 02:52:04,969 --> 02:51:59,630 550 feet I don't give themselves a lot 2511 02:52:09,710 --> 02:52:07,490 and then the lunker is a very complex 2512 02:52:12,050 --> 02:52:09,720 system so when it lands the door will 2513 02:52:15,710 --> 02:52:12,060 open and then we'll take the various 2514 02:52:15,720 --> 02:52:21,110 so just now right below the Sun 2515 02:52:26,150 --> 02:52:22,910 could be about a thousand feet now 2516 02:52:27,889 --> 02:52:26,160 probably 800 feet 2517 02:52:33,290 --> 02:52:27,899 there it is 2518 02:52:37,429 --> 02:52:36,290 now the team's excited 2519 02:52:39,469 --> 02:52:37,439 they're just kind of like whatever 2520 02:52:53,990 --> 02:52:39,479 what's going on I only gotta run a 2521 02:52:54,000 --> 02:53:20,990 foreign 2522 02:53:26,929 --> 02:53:24,650 so we're gonna go to pad 41. this is a 2523 02:53:28,969 --> 02:53:26,939 Thomas Jefferson High School out of 2524 02:53:31,130 --> 02:53:28,979 Alexandria Virginia 2525 02:53:34,010 --> 02:53:31,140 all right there is no yelling award but 2526 02:53:35,990 --> 02:53:34,020 uh I guess we could try for that so this 2527 02:53:38,929 --> 02:53:36,000 um the team that Alexandria Virginia the 2528 02:53:43,429 --> 02:53:38,939 name of this rocket is Blackbird 23.5 2529 02:53:45,710 --> 02:53:43,439 pounds 5.45 inch diameter 11.4 feet tall 2530 02:53:48,469 --> 02:53:45,720 uh the main goal will be bundled with 2531 02:53:51,469 --> 02:53:48,479 the Jolly logic at apogee and then the 2532 02:53:54,349 --> 02:53:51,479 main will be released is 700 feet 2533 02:53:56,809 --> 02:53:54,359 it does have a contour mapping glider 2534 02:53:59,870 --> 02:53:56,819 not flying today so it is zip tied into 2535 02:54:02,090 --> 02:53:59,880 the payload uh this is the first time in 2536 02:54:05,030 --> 02:54:02,100 10 years this team has been here the 2537 02:54:06,830 --> 02:54:05,040 Rockets won five times previously sad 2538 02:54:08,090 --> 02:54:06,840 not to play the glider but we'll be back 2539 02:54:11,870 --> 02:54:08,100 next year 2540 02:54:13,670 --> 02:54:11,880 they've used 10 plus pounds of Balsa and 2541 02:54:15,349 --> 02:54:13,680 everyone knows how light Balsa is so 2542 02:54:17,870 --> 02:54:15,359 that's probably like a semi-load of just 2543 02:54:19,969 --> 02:54:17,880 Balsa when they were building these 2544 02:54:23,690 --> 02:54:19,979 different various gliders 2545 02:54:26,510 --> 02:54:23,700 that this rocket is flying on a Aerotech 2546 02:54:28,969 --> 02:54:26,520 k828 2547 02:54:31,070 --> 02:54:28,979 um fast Jack should go about 5 000 feet 2548 02:54:32,929 --> 02:54:31,080 I believe they probably bought the last 2549 02:54:35,590 --> 02:54:32,939 of the 828s I don't know if they even 2550 02:54:39,349 --> 02:54:35,600 make those Motors anymore 2551 02:54:41,389 --> 02:54:39,359 they also had a unique way to uh oh yeah 2552 02:54:42,889 --> 02:54:41,399 with this team so they did paint the 2553 02:54:44,330 --> 02:54:42,899 rocket you know when you have a house 2554 02:54:45,950 --> 02:54:44,340 that's inside the house you paint the 2555 02:54:48,170 --> 02:54:45,960 wall you just add another layer to it 2556 02:54:49,790 --> 02:54:48,180 and add another layer to it this team 2557 02:54:51,769 --> 02:54:49,800 painted their rocket that way so I guess 2558 02:54:54,110 --> 02:54:51,779 the indoor house paint technology they 2559 02:54:55,790 --> 02:54:54,120 just threw 50 layers of paint on it and 2560 02:54:57,889 --> 02:54:55,800 that's how they were able to decide what 2561 02:54:59,510 --> 02:54:57,899 the rocket was going to look like they 2562 02:55:01,070 --> 02:54:59,520 bought all the ball so that was in the 2563 02:55:03,830 --> 02:55:01,080 area including all of it from Hobby 2564 02:55:09,230 --> 02:55:07,309 okay we're clear on pad 41 clear sky 2565 02:55:13,790 --> 02:55:09,240 clear range we're gonna watch the 2566 02:55:19,190 --> 02:55:13,800 Blackbird in five four three two one 2567 02:55:23,630 --> 02:55:20,809 nice boost 2568 02:55:25,849 --> 02:55:23,640 I don't think that's going to make it to 2569 02:55:29,450 --> 02:55:25,859 5 000 feet though 2570 02:55:33,769 --> 02:55:31,550 barking over 2571 02:55:36,769 --> 02:55:33,779 there's an event 2572 02:56:08,030 --> 02:55:36,779 okay drug is out 2573 02:56:15,230 --> 02:56:10,670 okay we're probably about 1500 feet 2574 02:56:15,240 --> 02:56:21,469 yep 2575 02:56:27,650 --> 02:56:25,309 they're probably a thousand feet there 2576 02:56:29,210 --> 02:56:27,660 so it should have a main parachute does 2577 02:56:31,429 --> 02:56:29,220 have a glider inside but it's not 2578 02:56:35,210 --> 02:56:31,439 releasing the glider 2579 02:56:42,410 --> 02:56:38,410 all right onto two separate pieces so 2580 02:56:45,889 --> 02:56:44,150 the golf clapping over there okay it's 2581 02:56:48,530 --> 02:56:45,899 gonna be pretty refined yeah nice work 2582 02:56:51,650 --> 02:56:48,540 all right 2583 02:56:55,010 --> 02:56:51,660 okay now we're continuing on to pad 42. 2584 02:56:56,690 --> 02:56:55,020 we have swamp launch rocket team at the 2585 02:56:59,870 --> 02:56:56,700 University of Florida Gainesville 2586 02:57:03,950 --> 02:57:02,510 that sequin hats all they're excited the 2587 02:57:08,590 --> 02:57:03,960 name of this rocket is called Florida 2588 02:57:12,849 --> 02:57:08,600 man it's 26.75 pounds 4 inch in diameter 2589 02:57:17,150 --> 02:57:12,859 9.6 feet tall the expected altitude is 4 2590 02:57:18,530 --> 02:57:17,160 975 feet on the Aerotech l-1090 this 2591 02:57:20,929 --> 02:57:18,540 does have the experiment information 2592 02:57:24,110 --> 02:57:20,939 it's called the investigator with the 2593 02:57:26,929 --> 02:57:24,120 capital G Florida Gators uh there's 2594 02:57:29,769 --> 02:57:26,939 three independent cameras one deploys 2595 02:57:33,290 --> 02:57:29,779 based on the landing orientation 2596 02:57:35,990 --> 02:57:33,300 detected by the IMU 2597 02:57:37,969 --> 02:57:36,000 I had to ask what does Florida man mean 2598 02:57:39,769 --> 02:57:37,979 because I didn't understand that well I 2599 02:57:42,530 --> 02:57:39,779 learned Whenever there was a weird news 2600 02:57:45,490 --> 02:57:42,540 story or something weird and unusual the 2601 02:57:48,170 --> 02:57:45,500 headline usually starts with Florida man 2602 02:57:50,389 --> 02:57:48,180 so that's what they were going with 2603 02:57:52,969 --> 02:57:50,399 the paint scheme was voted on by the 2604 02:57:54,550 --> 02:57:52,979 teams they're using school colors and 2605 02:57:57,590 --> 02:57:54,560 sponsors and they also wanted to 2606 02:57:59,750 --> 02:57:57,600 integrate some of the SLS uh the paint 2607 02:58:01,910 --> 02:57:59,760 paint into it they also did have a 2608 02:58:04,130 --> 02:58:01,920 texturized finish to slow the rocket 2609 02:58:05,690 --> 02:58:04,140 down at the very beginning of a project 2610 02:58:07,309 --> 02:58:05,700 they didn't have 2611 02:58:08,750 --> 02:58:07,319 they did not have a lot of funding but 2612 02:58:10,730 --> 02:58:08,760 they closer to the end they got much 2613 02:58:13,670 --> 02:58:10,740 more funding 2614 02:58:16,309 --> 02:58:13,680 so they are pretty excited about that 2615 02:58:18,769 --> 02:58:16,319 I also learned in their sub scalar full 2616 02:58:21,469 --> 02:58:18,779 scale flight the rocket did land in a 2617 02:58:23,450 --> 02:58:21,479 higher than normal final orientation may 2618 02:58:24,969 --> 02:58:23,460 or may not have landed in a tree took 2619 02:58:27,710 --> 02:58:24,979 them over a week to get it out of 2620 02:58:30,170 --> 02:58:27,720 century they even tried to use a bow and 2621 02:58:31,910 --> 02:58:30,180 arrow to get the rocket out couldn't get 2622 02:58:34,550 --> 02:58:31,920 it out but they did eventually get that 2623 02:58:36,650 --> 02:58:34,560 rocket recovered 2624 02:58:39,230 --> 02:58:36,660 so we are being held right now or being 2625 02:58:41,090 --> 02:58:39,240 told there's a aircraft oh yep there it 2626 02:58:43,309 --> 02:58:41,100 is there's aircraft flying right right 2627 02:59:04,730 --> 02:58:43,319 in front of us hold up the aircraft 2628 02:59:04,740 --> 02:59:17,090 reported 2629 02:59:38,570 --> 02:59:19,130 signal Rockets 2630 02:59:44,450 --> 02:59:41,929 okay playing is clear so we're gonna go 2631 02:59:46,490 --> 02:59:44,460 to pad 42 Florida man it's always a fun 2632 02:59:49,429 --> 02:59:46,500 way to start the news article so we have 2633 02:59:52,130 --> 02:59:49,439 a clear sky we have a clear range on 2634 03:00:06,469 --> 02:59:52,140 Florida man we are going to go in five 2635 03:00:11,269 --> 03:00:09,170 so that one should go 4 600 feet with 2636 03:00:16,070 --> 03:00:11,279 the main set for 600. 2637 03:00:16,080 --> 03:00:19,730 and over there is an event 2638 03:00:19,740 --> 03:00:42,830 back up to the main apogee 2639 03:01:03,410 --> 03:00:44,690 yeah it's still a few thousand feet up 2640 03:01:09,530 --> 03:01:05,150 okay we should be about a thousand feet 2641 03:01:13,900 --> 03:01:11,929 probably 700 feet 2642 03:01:14,520 --> 03:01:13,910 Now's the Time for the parachute 2643 03:01:18,889 --> 03:01:14,530 [Music] 2644 03:01:21,469 --> 03:01:18,899 [Applause] 2645 03:01:21,479 --> 03:01:26,809 oh 2646 03:01:30,950 --> 03:01:29,150 just heard the team 2647 03:01:32,210 --> 03:01:30,960 they could kill out their chance sound 2648 03:01:34,429 --> 03:01:32,220 like someone didn't even know what it 2649 03:01:41,210 --> 03:01:34,439 was so they're just kind of guessing 2650 03:01:47,330 --> 03:01:43,809 okay continuing on the pad 43 this is 2651 03:01:48,710 --> 03:01:47,340 Carnegie Mellon Rocky Commander Carnegie 2652 03:01:50,269 --> 03:01:48,720 Mellon University out of Pittsburgh 2653 03:01:53,269 --> 03:01:50,279 Pennsylvania 2654 03:01:57,710 --> 03:01:53,279 the name of this rocket is an acronym 2655 03:02:00,110 --> 03:01:57,720 called bagpiper 40 East 42.6 pounds six 2656 03:02:03,370 --> 03:02:00,120 inch in diameter 10 and a half feet tall 2657 03:02:06,670 --> 03:02:03,380 so the name goes to ballistic 2658 03:02:09,790 --> 03:02:06,680 aerodynamic grounded 2659 03:02:12,710 --> 03:02:09,800 photographic imager and precisely 2660 03:02:14,510 --> 03:02:12,720 engineered rocket I think they're just 2661 03:02:16,010 --> 03:02:14,520 trying to back into the name back Piper 2662 03:02:18,170 --> 03:02:16,020 and just start throwing some words to it 2663 03:02:20,290 --> 03:02:18,180 they have another acronym for the 2664 03:02:24,230 --> 03:02:20,300 experiment information called scan 2665 03:02:26,690 --> 03:02:24,240 scanning camera aiding navigation this 2666 03:02:29,210 --> 03:02:26,700 rotates on a lead screw to extend then 2667 03:02:32,750 --> 03:02:29,220 uses a Servo gimbal to take photos upon 2668 03:02:38,510 --> 03:02:35,650 and this rocket is flying on an Aerotech 2669 03:02:41,630 --> 03:02:38,520 l1390 Mojave green 2670 03:02:43,849 --> 03:02:41,640 should go about 4 500 feet this rocket 2671 03:02:46,550 --> 03:02:43,859 was pretty much all carbon fiber except 2672 03:02:48,769 --> 03:02:46,560 the nose cone and part of the fins and 2673 03:02:51,590 --> 03:02:48,779 for those that don't know the name 2674 03:02:53,830 --> 03:02:51,600 bagpiper as it goes to Carnegie Mellon 2675 03:02:56,210 --> 03:02:53,840 University's Scottish Heritage 2676 03:02:58,790 --> 03:02:56,220 influences some of the school's beloved 2677 03:03:01,429 --> 03:02:58,800 traditions some of these activities are 2678 03:03:03,889 --> 03:03:01,439 homegrown I did also learn that the 2679 03:03:06,469 --> 03:03:03,899 president made an executive decision on 2680 03:03:08,630 --> 03:03:06,479 the paint Scheme it had these colors 2681 03:03:10,010 --> 03:03:08,640 just lying around and said that's close 2682 03:03:10,910 --> 03:03:10,020 enough to school colors we'll just go 2683 03:03:12,469 --> 03:03:10,920 with it 2684 03:03:16,370 -->

03:06:02,640 it should go about 4 700 feet I was also 2724 03:06:07,790 --> 03:06:05,220 told it has some Weeble wobble type 2725 03:06:10,190 --> 03:06:07,800 technology as payload it always writes 2726 03:06:13,309 --> 03:06:10,200 itself upward with camera and the camera 2727 03:06:15,230 --> 03:06:13,319 is spring loaded and I did learn about 2728 03:06:17,030 --> 03:06:15,240 how they did do the paint design they 2729 03:06:19,910 --> 03:06:17,040 did it like crowdsourced via social 2730 03:06:22,490 --> 03:06:19,920 media and Alice was the winner it was 2731 03:06:24,889 --> 03:06:22,500

03:08:48,769 --> 03:08:45,359 association at Auburn University this is 2767 03:08:51,170 --> 03:08:48,779 Auburn University Auburn Alabama 2768 03:08:55,389 --> 03:08:51,180 name of this rocket is four brighter 2769 03:09:01,969 --> 03:08:58,490 20 pound swing there six inch in 2770 03:09:04,730 --> 03:09:01,979 diameter 10.4 feet tall 2771 03:09:06,830 --> 03:09:04,740 for the experimentation information is 2772 03:09:10,429 --> 03:09:06,840 the R2D2 camera 2773 03:09:13,330 --> 03:09:10,439 that deploys after landing has got lots 2774 03:09:18,469 --> 03:09:13,340 of acronyms for the system that is the 2775 03:09:20,870 --> 03:09:18,479 MMORPG the raps and then the cap 2776 03:09:22,790 --> 03:09:20,880 I also did notice with this team yep 2777 03:09:25,070 --> 03:09:22,800 it's the camera like pops up and down 2778 03:09:31,870 --> 03:09:25,080 you think about R2D2 on the X-Wing it 2779 03:09:37,730 --> 03:09:35,389 [Music] 2780 03:09:39,769 --> 03:09:37,740 the rock is also landed in a ditch but 2781 03:09:41,990 --> 03:09:39,779 it didn't suffer any damage 2782 03:09:44,210 --> 03:09:42,000 oh yeah so then this team also has my 2783 03:09:46,849 --> 03:09:44,220 buddy solder so father is back so if 2784 03:09:48,769 --> 03:09:46,859 anyone knows yeah he's here 2785 03:09:50,570 --> 03:09:48,779 so I was in the house 2786 03:09:53,690 --> 03:09:50,580 um this team also did compete in another 2787 03:09:55,550 --> 03:09:53,700 argonia Cup this year the Auburn team 2788 03:09:59,510 --> 03:09:55,560 also they were all deep they got 80 2789 03:10:00,889 --> 03:09:59,520 people on the team 36 of them are here I 2790 03:10:03,710 --> 03:10:00,899 think was also really unique with this 2791 03:10:06,769 --> 03:10:03,720 team they also have this rocket painted 2792 03:10:09,050 --> 03:10:06,779 by a nearby local children's hospital by 2793 03:10:11,389 --> 03:10:09,060 the children that are in the hospital so 2794 03:10:13,130 --> 03:10:11,399 that's a really cool neat story to that 2795 03:10:15,349 --> 03:10:13,140 yeah that's why the name of the rocket 2796 03:10:18,349 --> 03:10:15,359 is called four brighter Futures so 2797 03:10:20,990 --> 03:10:18,359 really cool thing there also is Jan 2798 03:10:22,730 --> 03:10:21,000 Davis who is a three-time astronaut she 2799 03:10:25,610 --> 03:10:22,740 is here in the house to witness this 2800 03:10:27,110 --> 03:10:25,620 flight so she's um I'm hearing a couple 2801 03:10:29,510 --> 03:10:27,120 of plots for that so that's pretty cool 2802 03:10:33,590 --> 03:10:29,520 to have her here to witness this flight 2803 03:10:35,150 --> 03:10:33,600 so on pad 61 we are gonna watch this oh 2804 03:10:36,469 --> 03:10:35,160 we're being upward 2805 03:10:39,590 --> 03:10:36,479 good okay 2806 03:10:41,450 --> 03:10:39,600 so four brighter Futures a pad 61 we 2807 03:10:44,990 --> 03:10:41,460 have a clear sky we have a clear range 2808 03:10:50,269 --> 03:10:45,000 we're going to launch in five four three 2809 03:10:50,279 --> 03:11:01,550 good 2810 03:11:01,560 --> 03:11:17,690 so this one should be going to 5400 feet 2811 03:11:22,070 --> 03:11:19,030 oh yeah 2812 03:11:28,969 --> 03:11:22,080 so there's confirmation it is under 2813 03:11:33,769 --> 03:11:31,849 Spence right now 2814 03:11:36,050 --> 03:11:33,779 solder's wondering if he did a good job 2815 03:11:38,690 --> 03:11:36,060 soldering the project 2816 03:11:47,450 --> 03:11:38,700 it's not quite sure so hopefully it 2817 03:11:47,460 --> 03:11:54,410 main on this one is set for 600 feet 2818 03:12:01,969 --> 03:11:56,269 oh there he is 2819 03:12:08,090 --> 03:12:05,389 so some of it's under parachute 2820 03:12:10,610 --> 03:12:08,100 some of it is 2821 03:12:25,309 --> 03:12:10,620 it's testing out its theory of drop 2822 03:12:30,650 --> 03:12:28,250 k-pad 62 we have Spring Grove rocketry 2823 03:12:33,410 --> 03:12:30,660 at a Spring Grove Area 2824 03:12:36,290 --> 03:12:33,420 Pennsylvania oh this is the Springbrook 2825 03:12:40,849 --> 03:12:38,990 the name of this rocket is hyperion 2826 03:12:42,710 --> 03:12:40,859 this one also does not want to reveal 2827 03:12:44,990 --> 03:12:42,720 its weight so it is an unknown weight 2828 03:12:46,190 --> 03:12:45,000 but as four inches in diameter eight 2829 03:12:48,950 --> 03:12:46,200 feet tall 2830 03:12:51,230 --> 03:12:48,960 it does have cameras because they're 2831 03:12:54,710 --> 03:12:51,240 cool I like that as a technical term it 2832 03:12:57,170 --> 03:12:54,720 is cool and they used it is also helps 2833 03:12:58,790 --> 03:12:57,180 it helps for preventing it to weathercon 2834 03:13:00,190 --> 03:12:58,800 under boost 2835 03:13:02,990 --> 03:13:00,200 the the 2836 03:13:05,690 --> 03:13:03,000 experiment information is called Ava it 2837 03:13:13,849 --> 03:13:05,700 is a radio wave that transmits three 2838 03:13:13,859 --> 03:13:25,070 we are going to hold 2839 03:13:25,080 --> 03:13:50,090 it'll hold right for a moment just gotta 2840 03:13:51,360 --> 03:13:51,050 thank you 2841 03:14:16,990 --> 03:13:51,370 [Applause] 2842 03:14:17,000 --> 03:15:41,929

actually 2850 03:17:48,469 --> 03:17:46,560 scorched some of the cords so we can't 2851 03:17:50,630 --> 03:17:48,479 watch any of the other Rockets so we 2852 03:17:53,510 --> 03:17:50,640 have to switch out the cables right now 2853 03:17:56,030 --> 03:17:53,520 just be a few minute delay as we update 2854 03:17:58,130 --> 03:17:56,040 the cables and get all that going and 2855 03:18:00,429

03:20:38,000 Association of rocketry our Nar 2880 03:20:41,870 --> 03:20:39,899 efficients running these launch 2881 03:20:43,730 --> 03:20:41,880 operations safety's number one they're 2882 03:20:45,110 --> 03:20:43,740 out there making sure that everything is 2883 03:20:47,929 --> 03:20:45,120 done safely and that we can get these 2884 03:20:49,309 --> 03:20:47,939 other rockets in volleytube up there as 2885 03:20:51,170 --> 03:20:49,319 they are taking care of everything 2886 03:20:53,269 --> 03:20:51,180 downrange we are going to talk to some 2887 03:20:55,610 --> 03:20:53,279 teams and first up is Temple University 2888 03:20:56,990 --> 03:20:55,620 now you guys flew earlier today how did 2889 03:20:57,710 --> 03:20:57,000 the launch go 2890 03:20:59,389 --> 03:20:57,720 um 2891 03:21:01,010 --> 03:20:59,399 okay we everything 2892 03:21:02,630 --> 03:21:01,020 where our main parachute didn't come out 2893 03:21:03,830 --> 03:21:02,640 of this one effect 2894 03:21:05,929 --> 03:21:03,840 um we tried a little new configuration 2895 03:21:06,769 --> 03:21:05,939 of folding it and we probably should 2896 03:21:09,230 --> 03:21:06,779 have just stuck with our original 2897 03:21:10,550 --> 03:21:09,240 methods that worked twice before but you 2898 03:21:12,290 --> 03:21:10,560 know you live and you learn so we know 2899 03:21:14,450 --> 03:21:12,300 next time so you've gone out and gotten 2900 03:21:16,250 --> 03:21:14,460 the rocky what kind of condition is the 2901 03:21:18,410 --> 03:21:16,260 rocket in after remain not coming out 2902 03:21:19,849 --> 03:21:18,420 the airframe is okay and we think most 2903 03:21:21,349 --> 03:21:19,859 of our electronics are good but all of 2904 03:21:23,809 --> 03:21:21,359 our 3D printed Parts didn't make it so 2905 03:21:26,450 --> 03:21:23,819 but that's expected we hate to hear that 2906 03:21:29,210 --> 03:21:26,460 so talk to us what's up next now you've 2907 03:21:31,190 --> 03:21:29,220 got the rocket back going through seeing 2908 03:21:32,750 --> 03:21:31,200 exactly what happened I would imagine 2909 03:21:34,309 --> 03:21:32,760 um what's up next for you after you've 2910 03:21:35,630 --> 03:21:34,319 flown the rocket 2911 03:21:36,769 --> 03:21:35,640 um that's a great question we do have an 2912 03:21:38,510 --> 03:21:36,779 extra motor and they're showing the 2913 03:21:41,269 --> 03:21:38,520 launches around us so hopefully we can 2914 03:21:43,429 --> 03:21:41,279 get a third or a fourth light in 2915 03:21:44,929 --> 03:21:43,439 um give it another go uh as far as like 2916 03:21:46,250 --> 03:21:44,939 Temple University goes we would love to 2917 03:21:47,870 --> 03:21:46,260 make this a club it's just a senior 2918 03:21:49,190 --> 03:21:47,880 design team so just continuing the 2919 03:21:50,389 --> 03:21:49,200 effort would be great 2920 03:21:52,490 --> 03:21:50,399 um so we're going to push for that until 2921 03:21:54,050 --> 03:21:52,500 the end of the semester so you mentioned 2922 03:21:56,150 --> 03:21:54,060 it being a senior Design Team all of you 2923 03:21:57,769 --> 03:21:56,160 guys are new to student launch what has 2924 03:21:59,690 --> 03:21:57,779 this experience been like coming to 2925 03:22:02,030 --> 03:21:59,700 Rocket City USA what has that been like 2926 03:22:03,410 --> 03:22:02,040 for you all uh it's really cool um I did 2927 03:22:05,750 --> 03:22:03,420 this competition in high school so I've 2928 03:22:07,130 --> 03:22:05,760 been to Huntsville once um but I was way 2929 03:22:08,269 -->

work which is really important 2938 03:22:26,330 --> 03:22:24,060 you know I think there's some of the 2939 03:22:27,650 --> 03:22:26,340 lack of that so any excuse to be able to 2940 03:22:29,330 --> 03:22:27,660 build something design something 2941 03:22:31,130 --> 03:22:29,340 fabricate through the whole process is 2942 03:22:33,050 --> 03:22:31,140 really awesome for our students so lots 2943

03:23:11,389 --> 03:23:09,239 student launch cup hey thank you all so 2963 03:23:13,429 --> 03:23:11,399 much for coming out we loved having you 2964 03:23:16,309 --> 03:23:13,439 um sorry about the parachute but you'll 2965 03:23:19,309 --> 03:23:16,319 get it get it so that is that is the 2966 03:23:21,889 --> 03:23:19,319 business we're all in so that is Temple 2967 03:23:23,870 --> 03:23:21,899 the owls with their rocket play we're 2968 03:23:25,929 --> 03:23:23,880 gonna bring in Lane who's got our next 2969 03:23:29,750 --> 03:23:25,939 team great job Temple 2970 03:23:31,130 --> 03:23:29,760 hey how's everything going everything is 2971 03:23:32,809 --> 03:23:31,140 going great we've had some amazing 2972 03:23:34,190 --> 03:23:32,819 launches of course we had a little bit 2973 03:23:35,510 --> 03:23:34,200 of a fire over there but it's put out 2974 03:23:36,769 --> 03:23:35,520 now 2975 03:23:38,630 --> 03:23:36,779 um they're trying to get those Rockets 2976 03:23:40,969 --> 03:23:38,640 set back up but now we have Virginia 2977 03:23:43,849 --> 03:23:40,979 Tech with us 2978 03:23:46,250 --> 03:23:43,859 and as you can see gorgeous we have one 2979 03:23:49,370 --> 03:23:46,260 of the longest if not the tallest rocket 2980 03:23:51,229 --> 03:23:49,380 here today so hi I you're the team 2981 03:23:53,030 --> 03:23:51,239 spokesperson so please introduce 2982 03:23:54,530 --> 03:23:53,040 yourself and tell us your major I'm Cody 2983 03:23:56,330 --> 03:23:54,540 Jones I'm a senior in aerospace 2984 03:23:58,309 --> 03:23:56,340 engineering at Virginia Tech awesome 2985 03:24:00,349 --> 03:23:58,319 okay so tell me about the length of this 2986 03:24:03,710 --> 03:24:00,359 guy how how tall is it so this guy is 2987 03:24:05,389 --> 03:24:03,720 146 inches from the booster tip here at 2988 03:24:07,370 --> 03:24:05,399 the nozzle all the way to the nose cone 2989 03:24:09,349 --> 03:24:07,380 which in feet that's about 12 foot 2 2990 03:24:10,610 --> 03:24:09,359 inches and when it stands on it spins it 2991 03:24:12,349 --> 03:24:10,620 adds about two inches it's like a 2992 03:24:15,590 --> 03:24:12,359 standing on Hills so you get that extra 2993 03:24:17,570 --> 03:24:15,600 two inches you get the ad so yeah so 2994 03:24:19,130 --> 03:24:17,580 reasoning behind making such a tall 2995 03:24:20,570 --> 03:24:19,140 rocket so it's all about using 2996 03:24:22,550 --> 03:24:20,580 commercial off-the-shelf Parts it 2997 03:24:24,349 --> 03:24:22,560 reduces any type of mismanagement we 2998 03:24:25,670 --> 03:24:24,359 have so when we make our own body tubes 2999 03:24:27,769 --> 03:24:25,680 there's always that risk that they might 3000 03:24:29,570 --> 03:24:27,779 explode on the pad or up in the air due 3001 03:24:31,190 --> 03:24:29,580 to any type of mishap so it's a lot 3002 03:24:32,510 --> 03:24:31,200 safer for competitions like these where 3003 03:24:34,370 --> 03:24:32,520 there's a lot of public people involved 3004 03:24:35,929 --> 03:24:34,380 that we can just buy manufactured body 3005 03:24:37,250 --> 03:24:35,939 tubes and so when we were making it we 3006 03:24:39,710 --> 03:24:37,260 wanted a four foot and a five foot 3007 03:24:41,330 --> 03:24:39,720 section tube and then we use the Von 3008 03:24:43,309 --> 03:24:41,340 Carmen nose cone which are five to one 3009 03:24:45,469 --> 03:24:43,319 so that means that there's six inches of 3010 03:24:47,450 --> 03:24:45,479 diameter so you times that by five to 3011 03:24:48,950 --> 03:24:47,460 get that ended up being 36 inches from 3012 03:24:51,290 --> 03:24:48,960 the manufacturer which is a little bit 3013 03:24:52,969 --> 03:24:51,300 unfortunate so it did balloon in size a 3014 03:24:54,590 --> 03:24:52,979 little bit so you had nine feet from the 3015 03:24:56,750 --> 03:24:54,600 body tubes and about three feet from the 3016 03:24:58,849 --> 03:24:56,760 nose cone so that's how that size did 3017 03:25:00,229 --> 03:24:58,859 kind of end up it was unfortunate that 3018 03:25:02,809 --> 03:25:00,239 it did get a little heavy because it's 3019 03:25:04,910 --> 03:25:02,819 at 54 pounds now which is a very large 3020 03:25:07,190 --> 03:25:04,920 rocket for this competition you know 54 3021 03:25:10,190 --> 03:25:07,200 pounds off the pad is 3022 03:25:11,330 --> 03:25:10,200 maybe this for second heaviest rocket 3023 03:25:13,010 --> 03:25:11,340 that's in this competition the other 3024 03:25:14,990 --> 03:25:13,020 guys are launching from their home field 3025 03:25:16,969 --> 03:25:15,000 so we're very very lucky that we were 3026 03:25:18,950 --> 03:25:16,979 able to find a parachute that was good 3027 03:25:19,969 --> 03:25:18,960 enough to actually be able to come down 3028 03:25:22,190 --> 03:25:19,979 here and launch and we thank everybody 3029 03:25:23,809 --> 03:25:22,200 at Nasa for allowing us to bring the 3030 03:25:26,090 --> 03:25:23,819 fighting gobbler down here to launch 3031 03:25:29,210 --> 03:25:26,100 yeah absolutely so that's 3032 03:25:32,269 --> 03:25:30,349 there's a 3033 03:25:34,429 --> 03:25:32,279 camera here and it tends to circle 3034 03:25:35,870 --> 03:25:34,439 around the rocket rocket so our our 3035 03:25:37,670 --> 03:25:35,880 camera is a little unique from everybody 3036 03:25:39,290 --> 03:25:37,680 else's payload so our camera is mounted 3037 03:25:40,790 --> 03:25:39,300 externally through the entire flight so 3038 03:25:42,950 --> 03:25:40,800 it's on the outside of the rocket you 3039 03:25:45,050 --> 03:25:42,960 all can kind of see it spin here the 3040 03:25:47,269 --> 03:25:45,060 little guy's nickname is Al so it can 3041 03:25:49,969 --> 03:25:47,279 spin all the way around the body tube 3042 03:25:51,950 --> 03:25:49,979 wherever he's at right now 3043 03:25:53,690 --> 03:25:51,960 sometimes he takes a little bit to roam 3044 03:25:54,950 --> 03:25:53,700 around so you can see him sort of going 3045 03:25:56,809 --> 03:25:54,960 all through that so the body tube is 3046 03:25:58,429 --> 03:25:56,819 actually split entirely up there so it's 3047 03:26:00,590 --> 03:25:58,439 this it's disconnected there's a whole 3048 03:26:02,809 --> 03:26:00,600 inner structure it holds it tight so it 3049 03:26:04,610 --> 03:26:02,819 can run around that it has two angles of 3050 03:26:05,929 --> 03:26:04,620 Freedom so it can rotate this way and 3051 03:26:07,490 --> 03:26:05,939 then rotate that way so there's nothing 3052 03:26:10,070 --> 03:26:07,500 this guy can't see throughout the entire 3053 03:26:11,630 --> 03:26:10,080 launch it's never inside so it has an 3054 03:26:13,490 --> 03:26:11,640 entire flight picture from as soon as 3055 03:26:14,990 --> 03:26:13,500 the Flames turn on at the nozzle all the 3056 03:26:17,570 --> 03:26:15,000 way to when it hits the ground so it 3057 03:26:19,130 --> 03:26:17,580 makes wonderful videos and everybody on 3058 03:26:19,929 --> 03:26:19,140 Twitter and Instagram have loved them so 3059 03:26:22,070 --> 03:26:19,939 far 3060 03:26:23,210 --> 03:26:22,080 we've had a lot of great feedback a lot 3061 03:26:24,889 --> 03:26:23,220 of people at the rocket Fair really 3062 03:26:25,910 --> 03:26:24,899 loved it because even when kids love it 3063 03:26:27,290 --> 03:26:25,920 because it looks like a little animal 3064 03:26:28,910 --> 03:26:27,300 like a little mountain around there 3065 03:26:31,190 --> 03:26:28,920 we've had people asking us to name it 3066 03:26:32,809 --> 03:26:31,200 like Mouse and things but yeah this 3067 03:26:35,030 --> 03:26:32,819 little guy is the owl you can see 3068 03:26:36,290 --> 03:26:35,040 everything oh it's called Owl and what 3069 03:26:38,450 --> 03:26:36,300 do you guys have like a team name 3070 03:26:40,309 --> 03:26:38,460 outside of just Virginia Tech or so 3071 03:26:41,929 --> 03:26:40,319 Virginia Tech rocketry we are just 3072 03:26:43,309 --> 03:26:41,939 Virginia Tech at Virginia Tech there's a 3073 03:26:44,929 --> 03:26:43,319 couple different rocket teams so we are 3074 03:26:47,330 --> 03:26:44,939 the NASA student launch Team at Virginia 3075 03:26:48,889 --> 03:26:47,340 Tech so awesome we don't really get our 3076 03:26:50,630 --> 03:26:48,899 own name we love repping the school 3077 03:26:52,910 --> 03:26:50,640 everybody there loves her Virginia Tech 3078 03:26:55,670 --> 03:26:52,920 so we're happy the rep buses just to 3079 03:26:59,570 --> 03:26:56,990 absolutely can you tell me who those are 3080 03:27:00,950 --> 03:26:59,580 from so those are from Homer Hickam and 3081 03:27:02,450 --> 03:27:00,960 one of his friends that started his own 3082 03:27:05,450 --> 03:27:02,460 company he now is doing some commercial 3083 03:27:07,429 --> 03:27:05,460 things for blue origin and um 3084 03:27:08,690 --> 03:27:07,439 they're doing some commercial stuff on 3085 03:27:10,490 --> 03:27:08,700 the moon he wouldn't tell me what it was 3086 03:27:12,229 --> 03:27:10,500 unfortunately I guess it's a little bit 3087 03:27:14,690 --> 03:27:12,239 of a trade secret but Homer Hickam is a 3088 03:27:16,309 --> 03:27:14,700 VT alumni at Virginia Tech we have a 3089 03:27:18,110 --> 03:27:16,319 very broad support from our alumni we 3090 03:27:19,610 --> 03:27:18,120 love interacting with them we love them 3091 03:27:21,349 --> 03:27:19,620 coming back to our events and stuff they 3092 03:27:23,150 --> 03:27:21,359 always say Hokies love hiring Hokies 3093 03:27:24,349 --> 03:27:23,160 because they know the curriculum we have 3094 03:27:25,670 --> 03:27:24,359 they know the professors they know the 3095 03:27:27,950 --> 03:27:25,680 great environment we have at the school 3096 03:27:29,269 --> 03:27:27,960 so we always love when we get our our 3097 03:27:31,490 --> 03:27:29,279 alumni come back because they have great 3098 03:27:33,229 --> 03:27:31,500 stories I have great advice you know uh 3099 03:27:34,490 --> 03:27:33,239 Mr Hickam was telling us about the 3100 03:27:36,650 --> 03:27:34,500 different work he's done and giving us 3101 03:27:37,849 --> 03:27:36,660 advice about uh what he was telling 3102 03:27:38,929 --> 03:27:37,859 people like at SpaceX about just don't 3103 03:27:40,670 --> 03:27:38,939 give up you know you're going to fail 3104 03:27:42,469 --> 03:27:40,680 but keep on going which is indicative of 3105 03:27:44,210 --> 03:27:42,479 sort of uh our whole year because we 3106 03:27:46,670 --> 03:27:44,220 went through three launches with each of 3107 03:27:48,110 --> 03:27:46,680 our Rockets so our subscale rocket air 3108 03:27:49,790 --> 03:27:48,120 full scale both had to be launched three 3109 03:27:50,990 --> 03:27:49,800 times because we ran into those 3110 03:27:51,950 --> 03:27:51,000 challenges and those failures and I 3111 03:27:53,510 --> 03:27:51,960 think that's the most important thing 3112 03:27:55,550 --> 03:27:53,520 with engineering is you're gonna fail 3113 03:27:57,110 --> 03:27:55,560 but you just got to keep going yes 3114 03:27:59,510 --> 03:27:57,120 absolutely we see that time and time 3115 03:28:01,429 --> 03:27:59,520 again today after interviewing a lot of 3116 03:28:04,010 --> 03:28:01,439 the teams so is there anyone you'd like 3117 03:28:05,389 --> 03:28:04,020 to shout out or think absolutely we'd 3118 03:28:07,190 --> 03:28:05,399 really like to think our team Mentor Bob 3119 03:28:08,990 --> 03:28:07,200 Schoener if it wasn't for his Direction 3120 03:28:10,429 --> 03:28:09,000 this whole rocket could have never been 3121 03:28:12,110 --> 03:28:10,439 built a lot of us we come from 3122 03:28:14,389 --> 03:28:12,120 backgrounds that have no experience in 3123 03:28:16,429 --> 03:28:14,399 high-powered rocketry so he really makes 3124 03:28:17,870 --> 03:28:16,439 sure that we're understanding what we're 3125 03:28:19,190 --> 03:28:17,880 doing we're doing it safely and things 3126 03:28:21,889 --> 03:28:19,200 like that we want to thank our faculty 3127 03:28:23,150 --> 03:28:21,899 advisor Dr Pat Artis he is a huge 3128 03:28:24,590 --> 03:28:23,160 tremendous help with us he goes through 3129 03:28:25,849 --> 03:28:24,600 our reports and things making sure that 3130 03:28:27,469 --> 03:28:25,859 we don't write anything that seems a 3131 03:28:28,849 --> 03:28:27,479 little off or a little silly you know 3132 03:28:30,170 --> 03:28:28,859 he's been in industry for a long time 3133 03:28:32,090 --> 03:28:30,180 has his own company performance 3134 03:28:33,349 --> 03:28:32,100 associates they love that we really want 3135 03:28:35,210 --> 03:28:33,359 to thank our sponsors if y'all can 3136 03:28:36,889 --> 03:28:35,220 rotate this guy we really want to thank 3137 03:28:38,990 --> 03:28:36,899 Collins Aerospace and the student 3138 03:28:40,370 --> 03:28:39,000 engineer council at Virginia Tech and 3139 03:28:41,450 --> 03:28:40,380 the department of aerospace engineer at 3140 03:28:43,490 --> 03:28:41,460 Virginia Tech we want to thank all of 3141 03:28:44,809 --> 03:28:43,500 them without these guys none of our 3142 03:28:46,010 --> 03:28:44,819 projects could actually happen and of 3143 03:28:48,110 --> 03:28:46,020 course we want to thank the staff here 3144 03:28:49,370 --> 03:28:48,120 at Nasa because without NASA putting on 3145 03:28:50,570 --> 03:28:49,380 this event we couldn't get this great 3146 03:28:52,610 --> 03:28:50,580 opportunity to come out here and 3147 03:28:54,349 --> 03:28:52,620 actually learn so 3148 03:28:55,550 --> 03:28:54,359 guys so much for talking 3149 03:28:59,210 --> 03:28:55,560 stuff like today in the competition 3150 03:29:04,849 --> 03:29:02,630 all right and

rocket and meeting everybody in on 3181 03:30:21,530 --> 03:30:19,979 our team we're a new to the competition 3182 03:30:23,330 --> 03:30:21,540 obviously so we have 3183 03:30:25,729 --> 03:30:23,340 not a lot of people we have a team of 3184 03:30:27,590 --> 03:30:25,739 about 10 people so we had to really work 3185 03:30:29,809 --> 03:30:27,600 with each other to get all of the roles 3186 03:30:31,790 --> 03:30:29,819 all of the requirements done 3187 03:30:33,469 --> 03:30:31,800 sure and tell me some of the challenges 3188 03:30:35,330 --> 03:30:33,479 every team has had to overcome 3189 03:30:36,290 --> 03:30:35,340 challenges in this process talk to me 3190 03:30:37,550 --> 03:30:36,300 about some of those that you've had to 3191 03:30:40,490 --> 03:30:37,560 overcome 3192 03:30:42,410 --> 03:30:40,500 well like I said a little earlier none 3193 03:30:44,750 --> 03:30:42,420 of us knew anything about the Rockets So 3194 03:30:47,389 --> 03:30:44,760 learning everything that there is to 3195 03:30:49,429 --> 03:30:47,399 know about rocketry from the what's 3196 03:30:51,290 --> 03:30:49,439 efficient what to stay away from and 3197 03:30:53,990 --> 03:30:51,300 then learning everything about the 3198 03:30:57,050 --> 03:30:54,000 payload uh radio frequency was 3199 03:30:59,150 --> 03:30:57,060 definitely the biggest challenge for us 3200 03:31:01,130 --> 03:30:59,160 okay wonderful and is there anybody that 3201 03:31:03,469 --> 03:31:01,140 you'd like to thank for you know getting 3202 03:31:05,570 --> 03:31:03,479 you guys here today 3203

get here how was it 3217 03:31:40,429 --> 03:31:38,399 um during your test flights did you have 3218 03:31:41,809 --> 03:31:40,439 a location near you where you could do 3219 03:31:43,550 --> 03:31:41,819 the test flight some people had to drive 3220 03:31:46,070 --> 03:31:43,560 you know hours to even do that part so 3221 03:31:49,190 --> 03:31:46,080 what what was your setup like we got 3222 03:31:51,590 --> 03:31:49,200 really lucky uh our launch field was 3223 03:31:54,590 --> 03:31:51,600 maybe 30 minutes away from San Angelo in 3224 03:31:56,269 --> 03:31:54,600 a little town of wall Texas so it was 3225 03:31:58,969 --> 03:31:56,279 very very close to us we could launch it 3226 03:32:01,250 --> 03:31:58,979 almost at any time that we we wanted to 3227 03:32:03,710 --> 03:32:01,260 we launched our full scale twice 3228 03:32:07,550 --> 03:32:03,720 successfully our subscale additionally 3229 03:32:10,010 --> 03:32:07,560 very successful okay wonderful 3230 03:32:11,090 --> 03:32:10,020 um I think we are going to 3231 03:32:14,330 --> 03:32:11,100 uh 3232 03:32:16,250 --> 03:32:14,340 go back to Lane for a little bit and see 3233 03:32:18,950 -->

just said we have 3239 03:32:34,070 --> 03:32:32,279 Portland rocketry with us 3240 03:32:36,290 --> 03:32:34,080 um hi can you tell me your name hi my 3241 03:32:37,910 --> 03:32:36,300 name is nivid Singh what uh year are you 3242 03:32:38,990 --> 03:32:37,920 in school well I'm a senior in high 3243 03:32:40,309 --> 03:32:39,000 school okay 3244 03:32:42,349 --> 03:32:40,319 okay how's it going today how's the 3245 03:32:43,849 --> 03:32:42,359 energy with the team it's wonderful the 3246 03:32:45,769 --> 03:32:43,859 energy of the whole event is wonderful 3247 03:32:47,269 --> 03:32:45,779 and we're really excited to be here yeah 3248 03:32:49,309 --> 03:32:47,279 so tell me do you guys face any 3249 03:32:51,349 --> 03:32:49,319 challenges or difficulties this year 3250 03:32:53,510 --> 03:32:51,359 yeah so this year we decided to build an 3251 03:32:55,490 --> 03:32:53,520 Arabic system so the rocket wouldn't go 3252 03:32:58,490 --> 03:32:55,500 too high and it would increase the drag 3253 03:33:00,290 --> 03:32:58,500 of the rocket while it's going up so we 3254 03:33:02,030 --> 03:33:00,300 faced a lot of challenges as this was 3255 03:33:04,309 --> 03:33:02,040 something completely new that we've 3256 03:33:07,190 --> 03:33:04,319 never done before so we 3D printed the 3257 03:33:08,510 --> 03:33:07,200 first time and it turned out to be too 3258 03:33:10,429 --> 03:33:08,520 big and some of the parts didn't move 3259 03:33:12,469 --> 03:33:10,439 together and then we 3D printed it again 3260 03:33:14,330 --> 03:33:12,479 and some of the parts were still too big 3261 03:33:16,070 --> 03:33:14,340 so then we ended up sanding it down and 3262 03:33:17,870 --> 03:33:16,080 even with the programming and testing we 3263 03:33:19,670 --> 03:33:17,880 faced a lot of challenges and how to 3264 03:33:21,950 --> 03:33:19,680 find ways to simulate the flight data 3265 03:33:24,170 --> 03:33:21,960 and simulate the flight and on top of 3266 03:33:28,010 --> 03:33:24,180 that our we had snow all the way in 3267 03:33:29,630 --> 03:33:28,020 March so we had to uh our launches 3268 03:33:32,150 --> 03:33:29,640 almost got canceled and at one point we 3269 03:33:33,769 --> 03:33:32,160 launched in the snowy weather wow so how 3270 03:33:36,349 --> 03:33:33,779 was that navigating the cold weather you 3271 03:33:38,389 --> 03:33:36,359 guys have to just bundle up and go with 3272 03:33:40,010 --> 03:33:38,399 it yeah just bundle up and go with it 3273 03:33:41,510 --> 03:33:40,020 and 3274 03:33:43,070 --> 03:33:41,520 um I mean it's very interesting there it 3275 03:33:44,389 --> 03:33:43,080 kind of goes snow on and off during the 3276 03:33:46,190 --> 03:33:44,399 launch so it's just spraying that when 3277 03:33:47,990 --> 03:33:46,200 our rockets on there and launching it's 3278 03:33:50,210 --> 03:33:48,000 the good weather 3279 03:33:51,590 --> 03:33:50,220 um time yeah absolutely so can you tell 3280 03:33:53,929 --> 03:33:51,600 me a little bit more about your payload 3281 03:33:56,809 --> 03:33:53,939 in the rocket sure so our bill is the 3282 03:33:59,269 --> 03:33:56,819 Arabic system and we have three fins 3283 03:34:01,309 --> 03:33:59,279 um right about here and essentially 3284 03:34:03,710 --> 03:34:01,319 there's a system on board that takes the 3285 03:34:06,349 --> 03:34:03,720 acceleration data the velocity data and 3286 03:34:08,450 --> 03:34:06,359 the altitude data and it combines those 3287 03:34:09,650 --> 03:34:08,460 to find a predicted altitude and if it 3288 03:34:11,990 --> 03:34:09,660 thinks the rocket is going to go too 3289 03:34:15,469 --> 03:34:12,000 high or things of the rocket is going to 3290 03:34:17,330 --> 03:34:15,479 overshoot the projected altitude then it 3291 03:34:18,950 --> 03:34:17,340 deploys the air brakes and that kind of 3292 03:34:20,929 --> 03:34:18,960 pushes something out of the rocket which 3293 03:34:22,490 --> 03:34:20,939 increases the drag and because the drag 3294 03:34:24,290 --> 03:34:22,500 is increased it's able to make the 3295 03:34:26,510 --> 03:34:24,300 rocket go a little bit lower okay 3296 03:34:28,490 --> 03:34:26,520 awesome so is there anyone you want to 3297 03:34:30,170 --> 03:34:28,500 shout out or think today yeah so first 3298 03:34:31,910 --> 03:34:30,180 of all um I just want to thank everybody 3299 03:34:35,090 --> 03:34:31,920 on the team I have Anika here Matthew 3300 03:34:37,250 --> 03:34:35,100 Haley nikonch and Anish um Everybody did 3301 03:34:39,410 --> 03:34:37,260 a lot for the rocket and everybody 3302 03:34:41,269 --> 03:34:39,420 played a Monumental role in building the 3303 03:34:43,550 --> 03:34:41,279 rocket um I'd also like to thank our 3304 03:34:44,990 --> 03:34:43,560 Mentor George George spent a lot of time 3305 03:34:47,389 --> 03:34:45,000 with us going to launches with us and 3306 03:34:50,030 --> 03:34:47,399 was helping us along

District out 3351 03:37:19,670 --> 03:37:16,680 of Spring Grove Pennsylvania name this 3352 03:37:23,690 --> 03:37:19,680 Rocket's Hyperion this does have the 3353 03:37:28,250 --> 03:37:25,910 they also have 3354 03:37:32,030 --> 03:37:28,260 to help it I guess mitigate some of the 3355 03:37:35,030 --> 03:37:32,040 uh for weather caulking on a scent this 3356 03:37:36,769 --> 03:37:35,040 has the Ava radio wave transmitting 3357 03:37:38,469 --> 03:37:36,779 three ground stations to measure 3358 03:37:41,210 --> 03:37:38,479 distance through 3359 03:37:43,370 --> 03:37:41,220 trilateration the location can be mapped 3360 03:37:47,269 --> 03:37:43,380 in three-dimensional space I hope you 3361 03:37:52,330 --> 03:37:50,450 so this rocket is flying on a CTI or 3362 03:37:57,349 --> 03:37:52,340 cesaroni 3363 03:37:59,750 --> 03:37:57,359 K750 Redline should go about 4 500 feet 3364 03:38:01,729 --> 03:37:59,760 this rocket what I remember looking at 3365 03:38:03,410 --> 03:38:01,739 it did have extra set of fins but it's 3366 03:38:06,710 --> 03:38:03,420 not a two stage 3367 03:38:08,210 --> 03:38:06,720 in all of the scale the subscaler 3368 03:38:09,410 --> 03:38:08,220 full-scale flights which have been 3369 03:38:12,170 --> 03:38:09,420 several of them 3370 03:38:14,750 --> 03:38:12,180 they have all performed within plus or 3371 03:38:16,790 --> 03:38:14,760 minus a hundred feet of their predicted 3372 03:38:18,290 --> 03:38:16,800 altitude so they've got this system down 3373 03:38:20,510 --> 03:38:18,300 pretty well 3374 03:38:24,830 --> 03:38:20,520 this team does also have uh seven 3375 03:38:31,790 --> 03:38:27,889 okay so on pad number 62 3376 03:38:34,790 --> 03:38:31,800 we have um we have Hyperion we have a 3377 03:38:47,389 --> 03:38:34,800 clear sky we have a clear range 3378 03:38:51,410 --> 03:38:49,550 okay just a sec we have to troubleshoot 3379 03:39:25,910 --> 03:38:51,420 some of the electronics so just hold 3380 03:39:29,510 --> 03:39:27,950 gotta cook those boxes a little bit so 3381 03:39:31,610 --> 03:39:29,520 we just gotta double check to make sure 3382 03:39:55,250 --> 03:39:31,620 that all the wires are plugged up hooked 3383 03:39:55,260 --> 03:40:16,870 um 3384 03:40:16,880 --> 03:40:50,530 thank you yeah 3385 03:40:50,540 --> 03:41:06,110 right now 3386 03:41:10,190 --> 03:41:08,030 welcome

03:42:13,729 --> 03:42:11,640 payload as defined by NASA and we're 3417 03:42:15,670 --> 03:42:13,739 also using an air braking system called 3418 03:42:18,229 --> 03:42:15,680 the apogee control system 3419 03:42:19,969 --> 03:42:18,239 our name of the rocket the brunswing is 3420 03:42:22,130 --> 03:42:19,979 named after our Mentor Dave who's been 3421 03:42:24,650 --> 03:42:22,140

3433 03:42:51,349 --> 03:42:49,020 we've landed in trees twice this year 3434 03:42:53,389 --> 03:42:51,359 and also we've visited a bagel shop 3435 03:42:54,889 --> 03:42:53,399 before every launch to kind of get the 3436 03:42:56,330 --> 03:42:54,899 team together before we get to work 3437 03:42:57,710 --> 03:42:56,340 which is super fun 3438 03:43:00,410 --> 03:42:57,720 um and Huntsville has become an awesome 3439 03:43:03,050 --> 03:43:00,420 tradition of ours so yes this is your 3440 03:43:04,910 --> 03:43:03,060 11th year bye Philly yes so 11th year 3441 03:43:06,889 --> 03:43:04,920 good thing the tree line is pretty far 3442 03:43:08,630 --> 03:43:06,899 away here so that's good and I will say 3443 03:43:10,729 --> 03:43:08,640 I did have a bagel for breakfast so 3444 03:43:12,889 --> 03:43:10,739 things are looking good for y'all 3445 03:43:15,290 --> 03:43:12,899 um talk to me sort of about how the test 3446 03:43:16,969 --> 03:43:15,300 flights went uh some of the teams had to 3447 03:43:18,950 --> 03:43:16,979 drive you know four hours across 3448 03:43:20,929 --> 03:43:18,960 counties to go to the test flight so how 3449 03:43:22,910 --> 03:43:20,939 does that work for you yeah so our test 3450 03:43:25,309 --> 03:43:22,920 flights we do about 30 minutes away from 3451 03:43:27,290 --> 03:43:25,319 campus which is super convenient our 3452 03:43:30,349 --> 03:43:27,300 first flight the recover the ascent and 3453 03:43:32,510 --> 03:43:30,359 Recovery went perfectly until our nose 3454 03:43:34,969 --> 03:43:32,520 cone shot cord snapped and so the nose 3455 03:43:36,590 --> 03:43:34,979 cone free fell and landed in a tree the 3456 03:43:38,929 --> 03:43:36,600 rest of the rocket was perfectly fine 3457 03:43:41,330 --> 03:43:38,939 and undamaged but that nose cone had to 3458 03:43:43,250 --> 03:43:41,340 be retrieved from someone who climbed 3459 03:43:45,410 --> 03:43:43,260 into the tree to get it our second 3460 03:43:48,290 --> 03:43:45,420 rocket the main parachute deployed at 3461 03:43:49,849 --> 03:43:48,300 apogee and once again the rocket landed 3462 03:43:52,429 --> 03:43:49,859 in a tree this time it was a little more 3463 03:43:55,010 --> 03:43:52,439 Tangled and our third demonstration 3464 03:43:57,590 --> 03:43:55,020 flight went extremely well nominal 3465 03:43:59,389 --> 03:43:57,600 ascent and descent and then 3466 03:44:01,550 --> 03:43:59,399 the rocket danced with a couple trees 3467 03:44:04,610 --> 03:44:01,560 before we finally landed on the ground 3468 03:44:06,469 --> 03:44:04,620 safe and sound okay and 3469 03:44:08,210 --> 03:44:06,479 um obviously a lot of that was technical 3470 03:44:09,950 --> 03:44:08,220 challenges that you had to overcome were 3471 03:44:11,929 --> 03:44:09,960 there any personal or team challenges 3472 03:44:14,990 --> 03:44:11,939 that you also had to come uh overcome 3473 03:44:17,450 --> 03:44:15,000 yeah so the past few years we've been 3474 03:44:20,269 --> 03:44:17,460 led by a leadership team that's mostly 3475 03:44:22,370 --> 03:44:20,279 seniors this year we have a lot of young 3476 03:44:24,290 --> 03:44:22,380 Juniors and sophomores who are on our 3477 03:44:25,729 --> 03:44:24,300 leadership team all are super capable 3478 03:44:28,309 --> 03:44:25,739 but we've had to do a lot of learning 3479 03:44:30,110 --> 03:44:28,319 this year to get up to speed and be on 3480 03:44:31,610 --> 03:44:30,120 that same expertise level and I think 3481 03:44:32,750 --> 03:44:31,620 we've done an awesome job and we're 3482 03:44:34,610 --> 03:44:32,760 really proud that we've made it here to 3483 03:44:35,809 --> 03:44:34,620 Huntsville awesome we are so glad to 3484 03:44:37,969 --> 03:44:35,819 have you thank you so much for taking 3485 03:44:40,250 --> 03:44:37,979 some time to talk with us and good luck 3486 03:44:43,010 --> 03:44:40,260 now we're going to go to Will Bryan 3487 03:44:50,870 --> 03:44:43,020 who's going to talk to 3488 03:44:54,710 --> 03:44:52,849 one of our long time teams their stuff 3489 03:44:59,090 --> 03:44:54,720 with us is University of California 3490 03:45:01,849 --> 03:44:59,100 Davis Eclipse rocketry so guys we see 3491 03:45:03,710 --> 03:45:01,859 your awesome rocket the paint Scheme is 3492 03:45:05,030 --> 03:45:03,720 excellent how are you guys feeling 3493 03:45:06,889 --> 03:45:05,040 before launch 3494 03:45:08,510 --> 03:45:06,899 feeling a little nervous but confident 3495 03:45:10,309 --> 03:45:08,520 that our rocket will perform well and be 3496 03:45:11,210 --> 03:45:10,319 recovered successfully excellent so I 3497 03:45:12,830 --> 03:45:11,220 understand you have a really cool 3498 03:45:14,929 --> 03:45:12,840 feature on this rocket tell us about 3499 03:45:16,550 --> 03:45:14,939 that yeah so our fins can actually be 3500 03:45:18,469 --> 03:45:16,560 separated from our booster airframe 3501 03:45:19,910 --> 03:45:18,479 intentionally since we are a team from 3502 03:45:21,889 --> 03:45:19,920 California and had to fly to Huntsville 3503 03:45:23,929 --> 03:45:21,899 Alabama we thought well shipping it with 3504 03:45:25,490 --> 03:45:23,939 the fins on would be very expensive and 3505 03:45:26,809 --> 03:45:25,500 taking it in like suitcase and stuff so 3506 03:45:29,210 --> 03:45:26,819 we can actually just slide them right on 3507 03:45:32,090 --> 03:45:29,220 and fits right in a suitcase okay so 3508 03:45:36,050 --> 03:45:32,100 that's crazy cool so wait your fence 3509 03:45:37,429 --> 03:45:36,060 transported here in your suitcases yes 3510 03:45:39,469 --> 03:45:37,439 talk to us more about what this 3511 03:45:41,809 --> 03:45:39,479 experience has been like and what it's 3512 03:45:44,090 --> 03:45:41,819 like to get a rocket of this size from 3513 03:45:45,950 --> 03:45:44,100 California to North Alabama 3514 03:45:47,690 --> 03:45:45,960 we had to arrive at the airport about 3515 03:45:49,969 --> 03:45:47,700 four hours early just to make sure we 3516 03:45:51,590 --> 03:45:49,979 could get through TSA in time I wasn't 3517 03:45:56,030 --> 03:45:51,600 sure if they were going to stop us or 3518 03:45:57,469 --> 03:45:56,040 not for all the black powder residue 3519 03:45:59,030 --> 03:45:57,479 yeah 3520 03:46:00,410 --> 03:45:59,040 well that's awesome so tell us how 3521 03:46:02,150 --> 03:46:00,420 you're tackling that payload challenge 3522 03:46:03,590 --> 03:46:02,160 dealing with the camera deploying and 3523 03:46:05,690 --> 03:46:03,600 then taking signals from uh from our 3524 03:46:07,130 --> 03:46:05,700 Towers here yeah so unfortunately our 3525 03:46:08,809 --> 03:46:07,140 payload got damaged during our full 3526 03:46:10,790 --> 03:46:08,819 scale demonstration fight so we are 3527 03:46:12,769 --> 03:46:10,800 finding a dummy payload in here but 3528 03:46:14,690 --> 03:46:12,779 before it had worked somewhat as an arm 3529 03:46:16,550 --> 03:46:14,700 system as our nose cone Jetta sits 3530 03:46:19,010 --> 03:46:16,560 completely separately from the rocket so 3531 03:46:20,570 --> 03:46:19,020 our payload would then slide out of this 3532 03:46:22,670 --> 03:46:20,580 airframe still attached to the rocket 3533 03:46:24,110 --> 03:46:22,680 and have an arm system come up and like 3534 03:46:26,150 --> 03:46:24,120 take photos and receive the signals 3535 03:46:28,190 --> 03:46:26,160 using a handheld radio and a Raspberry 3536 03:46:29,990 --> 03:46:28,200 Pi oh that's really cool I'm sure it was 3537 03:46:31,490 --> 03:46:30,000 great and um still great that you guys 3538 03:46:33,530 --> 03:46:31,500 are still able to fly your rocket 3539 03:46:35,269 --> 03:46:33,540 despite payloads not working it's just 3540

03:57:32,460 theme which is pretty cool 3737 03:57:38,330 --> 03:57:35,640 and then they did say the subscale 3738 03:57:41,510 --> 03:57:38,340 flight landed 100 feet high up in a 3739 03:57:43,010 --> 03:57:41,520 higher apparatus maybe a tree not sure 3740 03:57:46,070 --> 03:57:43,020 how they got it back but it was an 3741 03:57:48,650 --> 03:57:46,080 interesting way how they got that back 3742 03:57:51,769 --> 03:57:48,660 we are going to launch the pencil on pad 3743 03:57:54,110 --> 03:57:51,779 81 we have a clear sky we have a clear 3744 03:58:05,870 --> 03:57:54,120 range we're going to launch the pencil 3745 03:58:10,910 --> 03:58:08,630 good boost on that one 3746 03:58:12,830 --> 03:58:10,920 maybe some casting tube on that I don't 3747 03:58:14,929 --> 03:58:12,840 know that was a healthy there in the 3748 03:58:19,250 --> 03:58:17,689 should go about 4 600 feet 3749 03:58:25,189 --> 03:58:19,260 possibly 3750 03:58:29,809 --> 03:58:27,830 pencils looking good so far the main is 3751 03:58:54,469 --> 03:58:29,819 set for 600 feet 3752 04:03:00,729 --> 03:58:58,670 okay should have the main parachute out 3753 04:03:04,670 --> 04:03:02,990 well hey everyone we are back here with 3754 04:03:06,530 --> 04:03:04,680 our team interview Booth as you can see 3755 04:03:08,750 --> 04:03:06,540 stuff happens with rocketry it's just 3756 04:03:10,550 --> 04:03:08,760 the business we're in so while our range 3757 04:03:11,929 --> 04:03:10,560 safety crew is downrange taking care of 3758 04:03:13,309 --> 04:03:11,939 everything making sure that we all stay 3759 04:03:17,030 --> 04:03:13,319 safe we're going to bring you some more 3760 04:03:19,729 --> 04:03:17,040 team interviews up next is Purdue Purdue 3761 04:03:22,130 --> 04:03:19,739 as you may know is kind of astronaut 3762 04:03:23,929 --> 04:03:22,140 Academy lots of astronauts including the 3763 04:03:26,330 --> 04:03:23,939 famous Neil Armstrong the first American 3764 04:03:28,610 --> 04:03:26,340 the first person to ever step foot on 3765 04:03:30,349 --> 04:03:28,620 the Moon is from Purdue with the NASA's 3766 04:03:31,969 --> 04:03:30,359 Artemis program we are going to be 3767 04:03:33,349 --> 04:03:31,979 sending people back to the moon the 3768 04:03:35,929 --> 04:03:33,359 first woman the first person of color 3769 04:03:38,090 --> 04:03:35,939 and a whole new generation of astronauts 3770 04:03:40,070 --> 04:03:38,100 are going to explore the moon like never 3771 04:03:41,929 --> 04:03:40,080 before we're going to carry on and Neil 3772 04:03:44,150 --> 04:03:41,939 Armstrong and all the Apollo Astronauts 3773 04:03:46,130 --> 04:03:44,160 footsteps part of that is Rockets we 3774 04:03:47,750 --> 04:03:46,140 have the NASA space launch system our 3775 04:03:49,790 --> 04:03:47,760 giant rocket that we just lose for the 3776 04:03:51,769 --> 04:03:49,800 first time in November kind of on a 3777 04:03:53,689 --> 04:03:51,779 smaller scale Some solid propellants 3778 04:03:55,550 --> 04:03:53,699 that we use with our solid rocket 3779 04:03:57,530 --> 04:03:55,560 boosters you guys use solid propellant 3780 04:03:58,490 --> 04:03:57,540 in your Rockets tell us how your flight 3781 04:04:04,910 --> 04:03:58,500 went 3782 04:04:06,769 --> 04:04:04,920 close to our Target apogee we're really 3783 04:04:08,150 --> 04:04:06,779 happy to see the results of the our 3784 04:04:09,349 --> 04:04:08,160 altimeter When We Gather and we're 3785 04:04:11,030 --> 04:04:09,359 really looking forward to see our 3786 04:04:13,130 --> 04:04:11,040 payload on the ground there we can't 3787 04:04:15,050 --> 04:04:13,140 wait so talk to us about the altitude 3788 04:04:16,790 --> 04:04:15,060 because for our viewers at home you may 3789 04:04:18,710 --> 04:04:16,800 not know teams actually you guys had to 3790 04:04:20,990 --> 04:04:18,720 predict your altitude way back in 3791 04:04:22,969 --> 04:04:21,000 November I probably before your flight 3792 04:04:25,429 --> 04:04:22,979 vehicle is even built right yes that's 3793 04:04:27,410 --> 04:04:25,439 correct so uh for preliminary design 3794 04:04:29,630 --> 04:04:27,420 review that's due in November we have to 3795 04:04:33,110 --> 04:04:29,640 pick our Target apogee that we want to 3796 04:04:34,790 --> 04:04:33,120 achieve today in Alabama so we just hope 3797 04:04:36,070 --> 04:04:34,800 that our flight predictions and our 3798 04:04:38,510 --> 04:04:36,080 manufacturing of our rocket is 3799 04:04:40,490 --> 04:04:38,520 accredited enough so we can hit as well 3800 04:04:43,010 --> 04:04:40,500 as we did today so what goes into 3801 04:04:44,870 --> 04:04:43,020 predicting an altitude like that to my 3802 04:04:47,389 --> 04:04:44,880 brain that's that's like trying to 3803 04:04:49,910 --> 04:04:47,399 predict the weather in Costa Rica on 3804 04:04:51,650 --> 04:04:49,920 July 14th it is a little like that 3805 04:04:54,530 --> 04:04:51,660 because the wind really impacts our 3806 04:04:56,809 --> 04:04:54,540 altitude so we kind of make a research 3807 04:04:59,210 --> 04:04:56,819 on like what's the wind it can be in 3808 04:05:00,710 --> 04:04:59,220 Alabama in April and we try to do six 3809 04:05:03,170 --> 04:05:00,720 degrees of freedom simulations of our 3810 04:05:04,849 --> 04:05:03,180 rocket flight profile so to see what's 3811 04:05:07,189 --> 04:05:04,859 the most likely apogee that we're going 3812 04:05:08,510 --> 04:05:07,199 a heat that's excellent now is there 3813 04:05:10,370 --> 04:05:08,520 anything cool about your rocket that you 3814 04:05:11,929 --> 04:05:10,380 guys are excited to talk about there are 3815 04:05:14,210 --> 04:05:11,939 so many cool things about rubber rocket 3816 04:05:15,710 --> 04:05:14,220 to be honest I think I I can talk in 3817 04:05:17,630 --> 04:05:15,720 here like for an hour about that cool 3818 04:05:19,130 --> 04:05:17,640 stuff in our rocket from the nose cone 3819 04:05:21,050 --> 04:05:19,140 all the way through paled avionics and 3820 04:05:23,090 --> 04:05:21,060 all the way to booster section from that 3821 04:05:25,010 --> 04:05:23,100 cool things last year uh we did really 3822 04:05:26,750 --> 04:05:25,020 good job 3D printing our rocket this 3823 04:05:28,610 --> 04:05:26,760 year uh we're also picking up on that so 3824 04:05:31,130 --> 04:05:28,620 our nose cone is 3D printed with wet 3825 04:05:33,530 --> 04:05:31,140 layout of fiberglass on it our fins are 3826 04:05:36,229 --> 04:05:33,540 also we're using 3D print to create 3827 04:05:38,990 --> 04:05:36,239 malls other things are like a fiberglass 3828 04:05:40,849 --> 04:05:39,000 sheet resin cast and then fiberglass on 3829 04:05:42,290 --> 04:05:40,859 it so it's a really cool engineering and 3830 04:05:44,330 --> 04:05:42,300 like really cool design were developed 3831 04:05:45,889 --> 04:05:44,340 for our payload it's mostly 3D printed 3832 04:05:47,570 --> 04:05:45,899 so really really proud of the design we 3833 04:05:49,610 --> 04:05:47,580 came up with and it's fully functional 3834 04:05:51,410 --> 04:05:49,620 this year so we're really happy about it 3835 04:05:52,729 --> 04:05:51,420 what's so cool and 3D printing is such a 3836 04:05:55,070 --> 04:05:52,739 huge part of the space flight industry 3837 04:05:56,630 --> 04:05:55,080 only grabbing more and more attention as 3838 04:05:58,550 --> 04:05:56,640 we try to tackle some really ambitious 3839 04:05:59,630 --> 04:05:58,560 goals now you guys coming for Purdue I 3840 04:06:02,710 --> 04:05:59,640 have to ask anybody want to be an 3841 04:06:06,769 --> 04:06:04,729 could not have said it better myself 3842 04:06:08,929 --> 04:06:06,779 Purdue anybody back home you guys want 3843 04:06:10,130 --> 04:06:08,939 to think uh yeah definitely want to 3844 04:06:12,170 --> 04:06:10,140 thank all the produced based program 3845 04:06:14,090 --> 04:06:12,180 that's left in Indiana for all the 3846 04:06:16,670 --> 04:06:14,100 support we gave we got from you and 3847 04:06:19,189 --> 04:06:16,680 definitely all of our parents like 3848 04:06:21,290 --> 04:06:19,199

next team 3865 04:06:52,309 --> 04:06:49,920 Lauren who do you have coming in with us 3866 04:06:57,469 --> 04:06:56,210 State they are with a team in Texas 3867 04:06:59,330 --> 04:06:57,479 um so we're going to hear a little bit 3868 04:07:03,229 --> 04:06:59,340 about their rocket and some challenges 3869 04:07:05,030 --> 04:07:03,239 that they've actually had to overcome so 3870 04:07:07,189 --> 04:07:05,040 can you all both tell me your name and 3871 04:07:09,469 --> 04:07:07,199 your roles on the team today 3872 04:07:11,330 --> 04:07:09,479 my name is Jay stichford I am a support 3873 04:07:13,010 --> 04:07:11,340 engineer specifically within the payload 3874 04:07:14,929 --> 04:07:13,020 section my name is Jay Green I'm the 3875 04:07:16,729 --> 04:07:14,939 project for the project manager 3876 04:07:18,530 --> 04:07:16,739 wonderful and how is it feeling being 3877 04:07:20,030 --> 04:07:18,540 here today you're getting ready to 3878 04:07:22,130 --> 04:07:20,040 launch you've seen a lot of launches 3879 04:07:25,010 --> 04:07:22,140 already so what's the what's the feeling 3880 04:07:26,510 --> 04:07:25,020 like we're just extremely excited this 3881 04:07:27,590 --> 04:07:26,520 is the first time for our engineering 3882 04:07:29,870 --> 04:07:27,600 program that we've been able to 3883 04:07:31,969 --> 04:07:29,880 participate in the usli competition so 3884 04:07:34,130 --> 04:07:31,979 we're elated to be here we've seen some 3885 04:07:36,410 --> 04:07:34,140 really cool fights already and we're 3886 04:07:38,150 --> 04:07:36,420 just hoping to be on par with those and 3887 04:07:40,130 --> 04:07:38,160 we're just happy to be here 3888 04:07:41,570 --> 04:07:40,140 and I hear that there may be some 3889 04:07:43,849 --> 04:07:41,580 challenges that y'all kind of had to 3890 04:07:45,229 --> 04:07:43,859 overcome to get to this point so tell me 3891 04:07:47,870 --> 04:07:45,239 a little bit about some of those 3892 04:07:49,849 --> 04:07:47,880 challenges so I would say our primary 3893 04:07:52,130 --> 04:07:49,859 challenge as we've also discussed with 3894 04:07:54,469 --> 04:07:52,140 other teams has been with our payload a 3895 04:07:56,689 --> 04:07:54,479 lot of implications there and uh we 3896 04:07:58,910 --> 04:07:56,699 actually about a week ago had to rebuild 3897 04:08:00,950 --> 04:07:58,920 the rocket so we kind of put on Fast 3898 04:08:02,750 --> 04:08:00,960 Track because we really we were really 3899 04:08:05,150 --> 04:08:02,760 motivated and we're willing to come and 3900 04:08:06,469 --> 04:08:05,160 uh at launch here so about a week ago I 3901 04:08:08,210 --> 04:08:06,479 had to start rebuilding the rocket but 3902 04:08:10,250 --> 04:08:08,220 we put in overdrive and we were able to 3903 04:08:11,570 --> 04:08:10,260 make it wonderful so tell me a little 3904 04:08:12,889 --> 04:08:11,580 bit about the rocket what are you most 3905 04:08:16,010 --> 04:08:12,899 proud of anything you need think about 3906 04:08:22,849 --> 04:08:19,150 besides as if the Rocket's here 3907 04:08:25,910 --> 04:08:22,859 uh We've it's our senior design project 3908 04:08:27,650 --> 04:08:25,920 and uh starting back in August none of 3909 04:08:29,630 --> 04:08:27,660 us knew anything about rocket stream so 3910 04:08:32,030 --> 04:08:29,640 just to make it this far make the 3911 04:08:33,710 --> 04:08:32,040 Huntsville and have a functioning rocket 3912 04:08:36,650 --> 04:08:33,720 is a very big accomplishment we're very 3913 04:08:40,070 --> 04:08:36,660 proud very proud wonderful and what is 3914 04:08:42,110 --> 04:08:40,080 the um your test situation 3915 04:08:44,210 --> 04:08:42,120 drive you know four hours to even find a 3916 04:08:45,469 --> 04:08:44,220 test site I imagine in Texas it's a 3917 04:08:47,990 --> 04:08:45,479 little bit flatter so what is that like 3918 04:08:49,370 --> 04:08:48,000 for you so uh a majority of our test 3919 04:08:51,229 --> 04:08:49,380 launch sites were actually within the 3920 04:08:53,689 --> 04:08:51,239 two hour time frame so it was pretty 3921 04:08:56,469 --> 04:08:53,699 convenient being able to just drive out 3922 04:08:58,910 --> 04:08:56,479 there and thankfully not long distances 3923 04:09:00,950 --> 04:08:58,920 what are you most nervous about getting 3924 04:09:03,530 --> 04:09:00,960 into the launch 3925 04:09:05,269 --> 04:09:03,540 um I I just I'm speaking for myself and 3926 04:09:06,950 --> 04:09:05,279 Jay you can add on to this 3927 04:09:08,389 --> 04:09:06,960 um I I just think we're hoping for a 3928 04:09:09,530 --> 04:09:08,399 successful recovery 3929 04:09:11,510 --> 04:09:09,540 um just so that we can launch it up 3930 04:09:13,729 --> 04:09:11,520 there and have everything uh operate 3931 04:09:16,070 --> 04:09:13,739 perfectly at apogee and then our main 3932 04:09:17,630 --> 04:09:16,080 parachute so I would say a recovery but 3933 04:09:18,769 --> 04:09:17,640 Jay would you like that I'm completely 3934 04:09:20,570 --> 04:09:18,779 confident that we're going to recover 3935 04:09:22,550 --> 04:09:20,580 the rocket completely confident my team 3936 04:09:23,689

04:10:05,929 --> 04:10:04,260 here as a team that when I first started 3957 04:10:07,250 --> 04:10:05,939 uh participating with student launch it 3958 04:10:09,410 --> 04:10:07,260 was always a team that I got to see and 3959 04:10:11,689 --> 04:10:09,420 so it brings back a lot of fond memories 3960 04:10:14,450 --> 04:10:11,699 we're joined by the University of 3961 04:10:17,389 --> 04:10:14,460 Florida the chomping Gators are with us 3962 04:10:19,790 --> 04:10:17,399 now all right so Florida you guys your 3963 04:10:21,349 --> 04:10:19,800 rocket launched how did it go it seemed 3964 04:10:22,670 --> 04:10:21,359 to go really well we launched in the 3965 04:10:24,050 --> 04:10:22,680 beginning of volley too but we haven't 3966 04:10:25,610 --> 04:10:24,060 been able to get it back yet because of 3967 04:10:27,530 --> 04:10:25,620 the delays but it looks like it went 3968 04:10:29,750 --> 04:10:27,540 really well at least so how high were 3969 04:10:32,389 --> 04:10:29,760 you targeting uh to hit today 3970 04:10:38,210 --> 04:10:32,399 Target was 46 but we predict 40 3971 04:10:41,750 --> 04:10:40,130 . hard watching especially the mining 3972 04:10:50,450 --> 04:10:41,760 experience size how do you think how 3973 04:10:54,650 --> 04:10:52,189 limbs from the past flights we were off 3974 04:10:56,510 --> 04:10:54,660 by one foot on our payload demo flight 3975 04:10:58,790 --> 04:10:56,520 so if that's anything to be trusted then 3976 04:11:00,830 --> 04:10:58,800 I think we got pretty close I'm gonna 3977 04:11:02,389 --> 04:11:00,840 say if you hit it by one foot you're 3978 04:11:04,309 --> 04:11:02,399 probably pretty good containers for that 3979 04:11:06,889 --> 04:11:04,319 altitude announcements here 3980 04:11:09,050 --> 04:11:06,899 so the teams that are on the pads right 3981 04:11:11,689 --> 04:11:09,060 now in just a second everyone go out and 3982 04:11:13,030 --> 04:11:11,699 pull those rockets off the pads because 3983 04:11:15,650 --> 04:11:13,040 they've been sitting for a while 3984 04:11:17,929 --> 04:11:15,660 essentially we'll create a fourth volley 3985 04:11:20,030 --> 04:11:17,939 and we'll have those two rockets plus 3986 04:11:23,210 --> 04:11:20,040 any other ones if you're in the third 3987 04:11:26,090 --> 04:11:23,220 volley you can make sure you coordinate 3988 04:11:28,370 --> 04:11:26,100 with check-in and RSO you can go set 3989 04:11:30,170 --> 04:11:28,380 those up out there for those teams that 3990 04:11:32,030 --> 04:11:30,180 need to recover the Rockets you can go 3991 04:11:34,670 --> 04:11:32,040 out and recover your Rockets you just 3992 04:11:36,469 --> 04:11:34,680 gotta stay on the outside of the range 3993 04:11:39,229 --> 04:11:36,479 and then we are in the process of 3994 04:11:40,790 --> 04:11:39,239 getting some we're getting recharge on 3995 04:11:43,670 --> 04:11:40,800 our fire suppression system and then 3996 04:11:46,130 --> 04:11:43,680 updating our pad boxes so you've got the 3997 04:11:49,010 --> 04:11:46,140 rockets on the pads takes those off 3998 04:11:50,750 --> 04:11:49,020 we'll have a fourth volley if you are on 3999 04:11:52,010 --> 04:11:50,760 the third volley you can go out make 4000 04:11:55,130 --> 04:11:52,020 sure you go through your check-in go 4001 04:11:56,689 --> 04:11:55,140 through RSO and go set all that up if 4002 04:11:58,849 --> 04:11:56,699 you need to recover your Rockets go 4003 04:12:02,150 --> 04:11:58,859 recover your Rockets So any questions 4004 04:12:03,950 --> 04:12:02,160 come to the lco or RSO desks 4005 04:12:07,130 --> 04:12:03,960 all right and as you heard that 4006 04:12:09,290 --> 04:12:07,140 announcement if you haven't flown also 4007 04:12:11,870 --> 04:12:09,300 and your rockets on the pad pick up your 4008 04:12:14,269 --> 04:12:11,880 flight cards too 4009 04:12:16,550 --> 04:12:14,279 this is the result this is how real 4010 04:12:17,990 --> 04:12:16,560 rockets go this is how real launches go 4011 04:12:19,309 --> 04:12:18,000 so teams are able to go out and recover 4012 04:12:20,929 --> 04:12:19,319 their Rockets I'm sure you guys are 4013 04:12:22,429 --> 04:12:20,939 going to be anxious to uh to recover 4014 04:12:24,950 --> 04:12:22,439 your rocket and we'll let you out there 4015 04:12:27,170 --> 04:12:24,960 here just uh if they're pulling your 4016 04:12:29,090 --> 04:12:27,180 rocket off the pad pick up your flight 4017 04:12:31,070 --> 04:12:29,100 card first 4018 04:12:32,389 --> 04:12:31,080 so the teams that have launched on 4019 04:12:33,950 --> 04:12:32,399 volley too they're going to go out and 4020 04:12:35,990 --> 04:12:33,960 recover their Rockets of all the three 4021 04:12:38,210 --> 04:12:36,000 rockets are on their way out to the pad 4022 04:12:39,650 --> 04:12:38,220 you can see the crowd behind us as these 4023 04:12:41,630 --> 04:12:39,660 Rockets are going to be coming and going 4024 04:12:43,429 --> 04:12:41,640 Florida I wanted to ask you how did you 4025 04:12:45,769 --> 04:12:43,439 how do you do you tackle the payload 4026 04:12:47,210 --> 04:12:45,779 challenge this year yeah so um our 4027 04:12:49,490 --> 04:12:47,220 payload relied on the fact that our 4028 04:12:52,070 --> 04:12:49,500 rocket has three fins so we have three 4029 04:12:54,229 --> 04:12:52,080 camera systems one aligned with each fin 4030 04:12:56,630 --> 04:12:54,239 so that when the rocket inevitably lands 4031 04:12:58,490 --> 04:12:56,640 on two of the fins one fan will be one 4032 04:13:00,590 --> 04:12:58,500 fin will be facing up therefore One 4033 04:13:02,210 --> 04:13:00,600 camera system will be facing up so the 4034 04:13:04,670 --> 04:13:02,220 camera can rotate out of the airframe 4035 04:13:06,830 --> 04:13:04,680 and then um following the radio commands 4036 04:13:07,550 --> 04:13:06,840 take the pictures and rotate and do all 4037 04:13:09,349 --> 04:13:07,560 the 4038 04:13:11,210 --> 04:13:09,359 um commands I would say so you're using 4039 04:13:12,530 --> 04:13:11,220 gravity really as as kind of one of your 4040 04:13:14,389 --> 04:13:12,540 aids to make sure that you have a camera 4041 04:13:16,130 --> 04:13:14,399 that can collect the signal that's 4042 04:13:17,570 --> 04:13:16,140 awesome so I know you're anxious to go 4043 04:13:19,250 --> 04:13:17,580 get your rocket anybody back home you 4044 04:13:21,469 --> 04:13:19,260 want to thank any sponsors you want to 4045 04:13:24,950 --> 04:13:21,479 say hi to yeah so we'd like to thank our

come back in and 4065 04:14:08,399 --> 04:14:14,090 and 4066 04:14:19,070 --> 04:14:17,570 the climate is vastly different slightly 4067 04:14:20,870 --> 04:14:19,080 different from the 80 degree weather 4068 04:14:22,490 --> 04:14:20,880 than that we're experiencing today as 4069 04:14:24,530 --> 04:14:22,500 you can tell it's a little bit warm here 4070 04:14:26,929 --> 04:14:24,540 so I'm really interested to see what 4071 04:14:30,950 --> 04:14:26,939 they hear what they have to say 4072 04:14:31,969 --> 04:14:30,960 so as we get you guys up here 4073 04:14:34,010 --> 04:14:31,979 okay 4074 04:14:35,929 --> 04:14:34,020 wonderful you all just keep on filing it 4075 04:14:38,330 --> 04:14:35,939 will you tell me your name and your role 4076 04:14:41,150 --> 04:14:38,340 with the team looks like University of 4077 04:14:42,590 --> 04:14:41,160 Tennessee Chattanooga who's with Alyssa 4078 04:14:44,750 --> 04:14:42,600 wonderful and I kind of prepped 4079 04:14:47,450 --> 04:14:44,760 everybody a little bit already that you 4080 04:14:49,490 --> 04:14:47,460 are our team from North Dakota so talk 4081 04:14:52,370 --> 04:14:49,500 to me about the 4082 04:14:54,290 --> 04:14:52,380 um uh the climate differences and what 4083 04:14:56,630 --> 04:14:54,300 that sort of presented challenge wise 4084 04:14:58,370 --> 04:14:56,640 and how the tests have been 4085 04:15:00,590 --> 04:14:58,380 um well it's definitely colder in North 4086 04:15:03,650 --> 04:15:00,600 Dakota so we've had a pretty long winter 4087 04:15:05,630 --> 04:15:03,660 with lots of snow and ice and cold so 4088 04:15:07,370 --> 04:15:05,640 that that makes it challenging to find a 4089 04:15:08,929 --> 04:15:07,380 nice day to launch but also even just 4090 04:15:10,250 --> 04:15:08,939 getting to our launch site sometimes the 4091 04:15:13,070 --> 04:15:10,260 roads they're minimum maintenance road 4092 04:15:14,510 --> 04:15:13,080 so we can't even make it to the to the 4093 04:15:16,189 --> 04:15:14,520 spot through our normal road so we have 4094 04:15:18,469 --> 04:15:16,199 to try all different directions just to 4095 04:15:20,150 --> 04:15:18,479 get there get through the snow but it's 4096 04:15:22,729 --> 04:15:20,160 it's been a great year with with the 4097 04:15:25,490 --> 04:15:22,739 rocket and what is uh recovery like when 4098 04:15:28,490 --> 04:15:25,500 you've got you know snow covered grounds 4099 04:15:31,189 --> 04:15:28,500 we usually send out about three brave 4100 04:15:33,349 --> 04:15:31,199 souls who climb through the the pretty 4101 04:15:35,929 --> 04:15:33,359 deep snow and get our rocket sometimes 4102 04:15:37,910 --> 04:15:35,939 they have to go a bit of a ways so 4103 04:15:39,590 --> 04:15:37,920 you've already launched obviously we can 4104 04:15:40,849 --> 04:15:39,600 see the rocket behind you how do you 4105 04:15:42,410 --> 04:15:40,859 think it went 4106 04:15:43,849 --> 04:15:42,420 um and how do you think it compares to 4107 04:15:45,110 --> 04:15:43,859 you know other Rockets are there any 4108 04:15:46,429 --> 04:15:45,120 others you're really impressed with 4109 04:15:48,469 --> 04:15:46,439 today 4110 04:15:50,210 --> 04:15:48,479 um it was a great launch it went um as 4111 04:15:52,130 --> 04:15:50,220 we expected we were really happy with 4112 04:15:53,510 --> 04:15:52,140 with how everything went and it's it's 4113 04:15:55,370 --> 04:15:53,520 just been really cool to see all the 4114 04:15:56,809 --> 04:15:55,380 other teams Rockets as well all the 4115 04:15:58,250 --> 04:15:56,819 designs that they have for this year's 4116 04:16:00,290 --> 04:15:58,260 payload challenge have been super unique 4117 04:16:02,269 --> 04:16:00,300 and really cool to see so it's been a 4118 04:16:03,710 --> 04:16:02,279 lot of fun wonderful anybody younger 4119 04:16:05,929 --> 04:16:03,720 that's watching do you have any advice 4120 04:16:07,490 --> 04:16:05,939 for people looking

4148 04:17:03,830 --> 04:17:02,040 well uh everything was successful for 4149 04:17:05,990 --> 04:17:03,840 our flight we were able to have a 4150 04:17:08,210 --> 04:17:06,000 successful drug in Maine parachute uh 4151 04:17:10,130 --> 04:17:08,220 deployment and then our payload operated 4152 04:17:12,110 --> 04:17:10,140 just exactly what we expected awesome 4153 04:17:13,610 --> 04:17:12,120 yeah so tell me a little bit about your 4154 04:17:15,170 --> 04:17:13,620 payload so this is a counterweight 4155 04:17:17,870 --> 04:17:15,180 payload system that we have we actually 4156 04:17:20,090 --> 04:17:17,880 have the power system uh as the 4157 04:17:22,189 --> 04:17:20,100 counterweight and it sits on two sets of 4158 04:17:24,170 --> 04:17:22,199 bearings that are able to rotate freely 4159 04:17:26,330 --> 04:17:24,180 and then we have a Servo motor that is 4160 04:17:27,889 --> 04:17:26,340 connected to our PI camera and then the 4161 04:17:30,889 --> 04:17:27,899 camera runs into a microcomputer called 4162 04:17:32,990 --> 04:17:30,899 a Raspberry Pi and then autonomously we 4163 04:17:35,630 --> 04:17:33,000 were able to rotate the camera through 4164 04:17:36,950 --> 04:17:35,640 RF frequency that we have with NASA's 4165 04:17:38,450 --> 04:17:36,960 Ground Control and then from there we're 4166 04:17:40,969 --> 04:17:38,460 able to take pictures change the filters 4167 04:17:42,349 --> 04:17:40,979 flip the camera upside down and just do 4168 04:17:43,610 --> 04:17:42,359 a bunch of other things that NASA 4169 04:17:45,290 --> 04:17:43,620 required us to do for these objectives 4170 04:17:47,510 --> 04:17:45,300 but yeah it came out great the clear 4171 04:17:50,150 --> 04:17:47,520 acrylic case showed clear pictures and 4172 04:17:51,830 --> 04:17:50,160 went well awesome so did you guys face 4173 04:17:54,830 --> 04:17:51,840 any challenges or difficulties this year 4174 04:17:59,090 --> 04:17:57,050 um for the majority

4180 04:18:09,830 --> 04:18:08,460 classes that we hadn't taken in a while 4181 04:18:11,630 --> 04:18:09,840 and the class that we took last semester 4182 04:18:13,729 --> 04:18:11,640 and and all of

47.53 uh Dro came out 4278 04:21:19,370 --> 04:21:16,319 of apogee uh as planned uh will happen 4279 04:21:21,349 --> 04:21:19,380 at Maine we ejected the main at 5 50 but 4280 04:21:24,889 --> 04:21:21,359 it inflated right away but the booster 4281 04:21:27,050 --> 04:21:24,899 section actually ran into the uh the 4282 04:21:28,670 --> 04:21:27,060 main parachute got all tangled up 4283 04:21:30,410 --> 04:21:28,680 um and it was probably around like 100 4284 04:21:32,870 --> 04:21:30,420 feet from the ground before it finally 4285 04:21:35,210 --> 04:21:32,880 got entangled and then finally luckily 4286 04:21:38,090 --> 04:21:35,220 it was able to re-inflate and bring the 4287 04:21:39,650 --> 04:21:38,100 rocket down safely that's awesome and uh 4288 04:21:41,450 -->

04:23:36,530 --> 04:23:35,399 hey how's it going hey pretty well um 4345 04:23:38,689 --> 04:23:36,540 tell us your name and what school you're 4346 04:23:40,189 --> 04:23:38,699 from absolutely so I'm Sam Betts I am 4347 04:23:42,349 --> 04:23:40,199 from Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology 4348 04:23:44,929 --> 04:23:42,359 and I am a mechanical engineering 4349 04:23:46,370 --> 04:23:44,939 student okay awesome so tell us 4350 04:23:48,530 --> 04:23:46,380 um what's your experience today how's it 4351 04:23:50,750 --> 04:23:48,540 going absolutely so we came from Indiana 4352 04:23:52,130 --> 04:23:50,760 and we're not actually launching today 4353 04:23:53,929 --> 04:23:52,140 um it turned out that something last 4354 04:23:55,610 --> 04:23:53,939 minute went wrong for us at the critical 4355 04:23:57,050 --> 04:23:55,620 path and we didn't end up getting to 4356 04:23:58,550 --> 04:23:57,060 launch but we came anyway because we 4357 04:23:59,870 --> 04:23:58,560 wanted to learn from all the teams this 4358 04:24:01,610 --> 04:23:59,880 will be our first time at competition 4359 04:24:03,170 --> 04:24:01,620 being able to talk to the different 4360 04:24:04,130 --> 04:24:03,180 teams talk about their successes and our 4361 04:24:05,630 --> 04:24:04,140 failures 4362 04:24:07,429 --> 04:24:05,640 um and it's been fantastic and we're 4363 04:24:09,229 --> 04:24:07,439 really excited to come back next year so 4364 04:24:10,790 --> 04:24:09,239 much stronger yeah absolutely that's 4365 04:24:12,530 --> 04:24:10,800 amazing so from my understanding you 4366 04:24:14,570 --> 04:24:12,540 guys are somewhat of a new team maybe a 4367 04:24:16,490 --> 04:24:14,580 new organization on campus so tell me 4368 04:24:18,410 --> 04:24:16,500 what's been the journey with starting a 4369 04:24:20,210 --> 04:24:18,420 rocketry at rosehoven absolutely so 4370 04:24:22,250 --> 04:24:20,220 three years ago we started with the usli 4371 04:24:23,809 --> 04:24:22,260 team of around three people uh we didn't 4372 04:24:25,490 --> 04:24:23,819 get very far but the following year we 4373 04:24:27,110 --> 04:24:25,500 grew it to around six or seven we got a 4374 04:24:29,030 --> 04:24:27,120 lot farther and now they say you can see 4375 04:24:30,950 --> 04:24:29,040 all my team members here with me um and 4376 04:24:32,389 --> 04:24:30,960 we got you know this close so it's 4377 04:24:33,530 --> 04:24:32,399 really fantastic to see that slow 4378 04:24:34,790 --> 04:24:33,540 progression 4379 04:24:36,170 --> 04:24:34,800 um and eventually you know we will we 4380 04:24:38,090 --> 04:24:36,180 will get there and we will be successful 4381 04:24:40,070 --> 04:24:38,100 yes absolutely perseverance is 4382 04:24:41,330 --> 04:24:40,080 everything in a rocketry right so tell 4383 04:24:43,429 --> 04:24:41,340 me a little bit about your rocket and 4384 04:24:44,990 --> 04:24:43,439 maybe your payload yeah absolutely so 4385 04:24:47,510 --> 04:24:45,000 because we're a University team we have 4386 04:24:49,070 --> 04:24:47,520 the standard SLI payload uh the way we 4387 04:24:50,630 --> 04:24:49,080 decided to solve it was using these 3D 4388 04:24:51,830 --> 04:24:50,640 printed bearings which are really cool 4389 04:24:53,510 --> 04:24:51,840 because then you could be able to 4390 04:24:54,830 --> 04:24:53,520 iterate really really quickly so we had 4391 04:24:56,450 --> 04:24:54,840 a problem and we you know iterated 4392 04:24:57,769 --> 04:24:56,460 quickly and was able to make those 4393 04:24:59,809 --> 04:24:57,779 bearings stronger and stronger and 4394 04:25:01,070 --> 04:24:59,819 stronger in addition our payload system 4395 04:25:02,750 --> 04:25:01,080 is really cool because it's really 4396 04:25:04,309 --> 04:25:02,760 flexible we can actually use it from 4397 04:25:06,229 --> 04:25:04,319 year to year because our payload team 4398 04:25:09,290 --> 04:25:06,239 did a fantastic job designing their own 4399 04:25:11,030 --> 04:25:09,300 PCB and really really custom software to 4400 04:25:13,130 --> 04:25:11,040 be able to extend that to multiple years 4401 04:25:14,929 --> 04:25:13,140 yeah absolutely it's so cool to keep 4402 04:25:16,490 --> 04:25:14,939 hearing about 3D printing because as you 4403 04:25:17,870 --> 04:25:16,500 said you can easily recreate if you need 4404 04:25:19,910 --> 04:25:17,880 to or fix something or make a new one 4405 04:25:22,309 --> 04:25:19,920 absolutely so 4406 04:25:24,229 --> 04:25:22,319 um what else what else did you guys face 4407 04:25:25,910 --> 04:25:24,239 this year besides just starting the team 4408 04:25:28,070 --> 04:25:25,920 up and was that pretty much the main 4409 04:25:29,929 --> 04:25:28,080 challenge yeah but besides that um 4410 04:25:32,090 --> 04:25:29,939 because we are such a new team we had to 4411 04:25:33,650 --> 04:25:32,100 start with a lot of new people we don't 4412 04:25:35,809 --> 04:25:33,660 have a lot of the experience it's just 4413 04:25:37,250 --> 04:25:35,819 because we are more new so actually over 4414 04:25:38,630 --> 04:25:37,260 half of the people you see here are 4415 04:25:40,010 --> 04:25:38,640 freshmen which is really fantastic 4416 04:25:42,170 --> 04:25:40,020 because they've really took up the reins 4417 04:25:43,550 --> 04:25:42,180 and led this team uh to where it is and 4418 04:25:45,110 --> 04:25:43,560 we wouldn't be here without them so it's 4419 04:25:47,269 --> 04:25:45,120 really exciting to be able to create 4420 04:25:49,370 --> 04:25:47,279 this team for them and in going forward 4421 04:25:50,990 --> 04:25:49,380 then be able to take the reins and be 4422 04:25:53,030 --> 04:25:51,000 even more successful yeah it's awesome 4423 04:25:54,590 --> 04:25:53,040 I'm sure your future is very bright so 4424 04:25:55,729 --> 04:25:54,600 what advice would you have for a new 4425 04:25:58,010 --> 04:25:55,739 team 4426 04:25:59,750 --> 04:25:58,020 the advice that I would give is that you 4427 04:26:01,309 --> 04:25:59,760 can be the best engineer in the world 4428 04:26:02,809 --> 04:26:01,319 you know have the best math skills the 4429 04:26:04,309 --> 04:26:02,819 best CAD skills whatever but if you 4430 04:26:05,809 --> 04:26:04,319 don't have the communication skills and 4431 04:26:07,429 --> 04:26:05,819 you don't have the organizational skills 4432 04:26:09,530 --> 04:26:07,439 and you don't have the teamwork to be 4433 04:26:11,030 --> 04:26:09,540 able to implement this kind of magnitude 4434 04:26:12,649 --> 04:26:11,040 project then you're not going to be 4435 04:26:13,969 --> 04:26:12,659 successful and that is something that 4436 04:26:15,710 --> 04:26:13,979 we've learned the last couple of years 4437 04:26:17,630 --> 04:26:15,720 and we're really going to be focusing on 4438 04:26:19,969 --> 04:26:17,640 organization and project management and 4439 04:26:21,889 --> 04:26:19,979 how to get our technical skills on a 4440 04:26:23,090 --> 04:26:21,899 functioning rocket yeah absolutely so is 4441 04:26:24,950 --> 04:26:23,100 there anyone you want to shout out or 4442 04:26:26,450 --> 04:26:24,960 think today absolutely besides my 4443 04:26:28,550 --> 04:26:26,460 fantastic team 4444 04:26:29,750 --> 04:26:28,560 um here and not here of course

04:27:37,070 --> 04:27:33,960 experience especially for the Boy Scouts 4478 04:27:38,750 --> 04:27:37,080 so our age range is from 12 to 17. uh 4479 04:27:40,910 --> 04:27:38,760 we've been I've been doing this since I 4480 04:27:42,710 --> 04:27:40,920 was 12 every year it's a tradition with 4481 04:27:44,809 --> 04:27:42,720 our boy scouts and it's it's a really 4482 04:27:46,910 --> 04:27:44,819 great experience because the younger the 4483 04:27:48,410 --> 04:27:46,920 younger students get to look up to the 4484 04:27:49,550 --> 04:27:48,420 older ones as you know they've 4485 04:27:51,530 --> 04:27:49,560 progressed throughout the years of them 4486 04:27:53,450 --> 04:27:51,540 doing this program and get her get to 4487 04:27:54,950 --> 04:27:53,460 interact with the mentors you know I've 4488 04:27:55,849 --> 04:27:54,960 been doing this for years so it's a 4489 04:27:57,950 --> 04:27:55,859 really great experience and it really 4490 04:28:01,189 --> 04:27:57,960 gets the kids into 4491 04:28:02,389 --> 04:28:01,199 oh stem and rocketry early on like I 4492 04:28:05,570 --> 04:28:02,399 said I've been doing this since I was 12 4493 04:28:07,729 --> 04:28:05,580 because of that so is this one of uh 4494 04:28:09,710 --> 04:28:07,739 one of the main draws of people why they 4495 04:28:12,530 --> 04:28:09,720 would join your troop I mean this is a 4496 04:28:14,870 --> 04:28:12,540 really big deal so yes so this is 4497 04:28:17,330 --> 04:28:14,880 definitely one of our biggest things in 4498 04:28:19,550 --> 04:28:17,340 our troop no other troop in America 4499 04:28:22,729 --> 04:28:19,560 um does this competition uh this year 4500 04:28:25,370 --> 04:28:22,739 and it's a really big Outreach 4501 04:28:26,750 --> 04:28:25,380 opportunity for our troop however we are 4502 04:28:29,450 --> 04:28:26,760 still a normal Boy Scout Troop other 4503 04:28:31,729 --> 04:28:29,460 than this we meet uh separately and just 4504 04:28:34,729 --> 04:28:31,739 invite everyone in involved in our boy 4505 04:28:37,610 --> 04:28:34,739 scout troop and some uh others to join 4506 04:28:39,830 --> 04:28:37,620 sure now talk to me about any uh 4507 04:28:42,590 --> 04:28:39,840 challenges that you've had to overcome 4508 04:28:45,769 --> 04:28:42,600 uh over the course of your testing and 4509 04:28:48,110 --> 04:28:45,779 then up until today yeah so um obviously 4510 04:28:49,550 --> 04:28:48,120 because we're such a young such because 4511 04:28:51,590 --> 04:28:49,560 we're such a young team we're fairly 4512 04:28:52,969 --> 04:28:51,600 inexperienced and there's a lot of 4513 04:28:54,710 --> 04:28:52,979 things we've had to learn throughout it 4514 04:28:57,469 --> 04:28:54,720 so the payload we designed our own 4515 04:28:59,030 --> 04:28:57,479 custom boards that was a huge uh step 4516 04:29:01,370 --> 04:28:59,040 for us we obviously had to program 4517 04:29:03,950 --> 04:29:01,380 everything with most of our students not 4518 04:29:06,110 --> 04:29:03,960 having any programming experience at all 4519 04:29:07,670 --> 04:29:06,120 and overall we all go to different 4520 04:29:09,290 --> 04:29:07,680 schools so our timing is way different 4521 04:29:11,229 --> 04:29:09,300 everything we're on breaks different 4522 04:29:13,550 --> 04:29:11,239 times three day weekends different times 4523 04:29:16,309 --> 04:29:13,560 schedules our way off so just aligning 4524 04:29:17,870 --> 04:29:16,319 everything to get launch days and uh 4525 04:29:20,269 --> 04:29:17,880 meeting days that work for everyone was 4526 04:29:22,670 --> 04:29:20,279 was a huge Challenge and you know it no 4527 04:29:24,050 --> 04:29:22,680 matter how what way it went we feel like 4528 04:29:26,090 --> 04:29:24,060 we did a really great job we're super 4529 04:29:27,110 --> 04:29:26,100 proud of how it turned out and how did 4530 04:29:29,030 --> 04:29:27,120 it go today I know you've already 4531 04:29:31,610 --> 04:29:29,040 launched so how do you how how did it go 4532 04:29:34,070 --> 04:29:31,620 yes so it went it went fairly well our 4533 04:29:36,889 --> 04:29:34,080 our rocket launch was extremely 4534 04:29:39,710 --> 04:29:36,899 successful it went exactly it was 4535 04:29:41,030 --> 04:29:39,720 perfectly safe came down just feet away 4536 04:29:43,550 --> 04:29:41,040 from the pads I think we were one of the 4537 04:29:45,050 --> 04:29:43,560 closest teams uh unfortunately because 4538 04:29:47,750 --> 04:29:45,060 of some 4539 04:29:49,550 --> 04:29:47,760 um punchless items that NASA had and 4540 04:29:52,130 --> 04:29:49,560 some of the last wait uh last minute 4541 04:29:53,929 --> 04:29:52,140 wait additions we went a decent bit 4542 04:29:56,149 --> 04:29:53,939 lower than our projected altitude which 4543 04:29:57,950 --> 04:29:56,159 we were upset about but other than that 4544 04:30:00,290 --> 04:29:57,960 we were really really happy with how 4545 04:30:01,910 --> 04:30:00,300 today turned out wonderful and anybody 4546 04:30:02,929 --> 04:30:01,920 you want to thank or give a shout out to 4547 04:30:04,969 --> 04:30:02,939 you back home

league but even 4562 04:30:33,290 --> 04:30:31,859 younger looking and wanting to get 4563 04:30:34,550 --> 04:30:33,300 involved with this what sort of advice 4564 04:30:36,950 --> 04:30:34,560 would you give them when they're 4565 04:30:39,469 --> 04:30:36,960 thinking oh that looks really hard 4566 04:30:42,410 --> 04:30:39,479 well what I would tell them is uh you 4567 04:30:43,729 --> 04:30:42,420 know it is rocket science it is hard but 4568 04:30:45,950 --> 04:30:43,739 you know you have a lot of people to 4569 04:30:48,229 --> 04:30:45,960 look up to your your mentors everybody 4570 04:30:49,729 --> 04:30:48,239 else so you're you know you can do it 4571 04:30:51,110 --> 04:30:49,739 you're going to figure it out there's 4572 04:30:52,969 --> 04:30:51,120 lots of different roles you can take on 4573 04:30:54,649 --> 04:30:52,979 just you know take it in little pieces 4574 04:30:57,110 --> 04:30:54,659 and eventually you understand it and 4575 04:30:59,030 --> 04:30:57,120 once you have started on this rocketry 4576 04:31:00,769 --> 04:30:59,040 stuff it's hard to go back so 4577 04:31:03,710 --> 04:31:00,779 wonderful thank you both so much for 4578 04:31:05,389 --> 04:31:03,720 being here uh congratulations and um 4579 04:31:06,830 --> 04:31:05,399 looking forward to hearing how 4580 04:31:08,689 --> 04:31:06,840 everything turns out thank you so much 4581 04:31:10,790 --> 04:31:08,699 thank you and we're gonna be joined by 4582 04:31:12,710 --> 04:31:10,800 Lane here again and get enough yeah on 4583 04:31:13,910 --> 04:31:12,720 NASA student wants okay so you guys may 4584 04:31:15,710 --> 04:31:13,920 have heard a little bit of commotion 4585 04:31:17,389 --> 04:31:15,720 earlier and I have someone from the team 4586 04:31:18,710 --> 04:31:17,399 so tell me what is all the excitement 4587 04:31:20,269 --> 04:31:18,720 well first of all tell me what school 4588 04:31:21,830 --> 04:31:20,279 you're from so I'm from Spring Grove 4589 04:31:24,170 --> 04:31:21,840 Area High School we're up in South 4590 04:31:25,910 --> 04:31:24,180 Central PA okay and what's your name my 4591 04:31:28,610 --> 04:31:25,920 name is Alex fiorillo okay so tell us 4592 04:31:30,410 --> 04:31:28,620 what's all the excitement about uh well 4593 04:31:32,450 --> 04:31:30,420 since we're at high school we really 4594 04:31:33,590 --> 04:31:32,460 only go for the altitude award since 4595 04:31:36,110 --> 04:31:33,600 that's one of the only few Awards we're 4596 04:31:37,490 --> 04:31:36,120 eligible for and we just looked at it 4597 04:31:40,189 --> 04:31:37,500 right here at the RSO and we were 4598 04:31:42,110 --> 04:31:40,199 exactly 4 500 on the dot well wow that 4599 04:31:44,030 --> 04:31:42,120 is so incredible for so for for those 4600 04:31:46,010 --> 04:31:44,040 who are not familiar we have 4601 04:31:47,450 --> 04:31:46,020 um the teams have to declare an out 4602 04:31:49,309 --> 04:31:47,460 months in advance before the final 4603 04:31:51,110 --> 04:31:49,319 launch and have to tell everybody where 4604 04:31:52,849 --> 04:31:51,120 they're how high their Rocket's Gonna 4605 04:31:54,889 --> 04:31:52,859 Fly so this team did something very 4606 04:31:57,170 --> 04:31:54,899 incredible so tell me how's the team 4607 04:31:59,689 --> 04:31:57,180 feeling uh well we're pretty stoked 4608 04:32:01,969 --> 04:31:59,699 we're pretty happy about it um after all 4609 04:32:03,769 --> 04:32:01,979 that we were the first rocket to fly 4610 04:32:05,990 --> 04:32:03,779 after all those delays the rocket right 4611 04:32:07,610 --> 04:32:06,000 next to us went and then it was a long 4612 04:32:08,870 --> 04:32:07,620 time for us so there's lots of lots of 4613 04:32:10,790 --> 04:32:08,880 tension lots of nerves and then 4614 04:32:12,710 --> 04:32:10,800 everything comes to a head here and so 4615 04:32:14,809 --> 04:32:12,720 it's nice to finally breathe and then 4616 04:32:16,490 --> 04:32:14,819 say you know we did it yeah absolutely 4617 04:32:18,889 --> 04:32:16,500 did you guys face any challenges or 4618 04:32:20,450 --> 04:32:18,899 difficulties this year absolutely um the 4619 04:32:22,550 --> 04:32:20,460 payload especially presented a lot of 4620 04:32:25,250 --> 04:32:22,560 difficulties it was something that we 4621 04:32:28,130 --> 04:32:25,260 hadn't done anything like it before 4622 04:32:30,769 --> 04:32:28,140 um radio communication and 4623 04:32:32,450 --> 04:32:30,779 um lots of different new devices new 4624 04:32:35,929 --> 04:32:32,460 programming and and that sort of things 4625 04:32:39,110 --> 04:32:35,939 we have to learn as we go and 4626 04:32:41,689 --> 04:32:39,120 um improve and and all of that so it was 4627 04:32:43,969 --> 04:32:41,699 a lot of learning and working together 4628 04:32:45,649 --> 04:32:43,979 and going into new fields that our team 4629 04:32:47,090 --> 04:32:45,659 hadn't gotten into before so that was 4630 04:32:48,469 --> 04:32:47,100 probably one of our biggest challenges 4631 04:32:50,090 --> 04:32:48,479 yeah yeah so yes tell me a little bit 4632 04:32:52,969 --> 04:32:50,100 more about your payload what exactly did 4633 04:32:54,889 --> 04:32:52,979 it do uh so the goal of our payload is 4634 04:32:56,450 --> 04:32:54,899 to find the altitude velocity and 4635 04:32:58,849 --> 04:32:56,460 acceleration of the rocket using a 4636 04:33:00,769 --> 04:32:58,859 system called trilateration where we use 4637 04:33:03,050 --> 04:33:00,779 radio communication to pretty much 4638 04:33:05,209 --> 04:33:03,060 estimate the distance from a transmitter 4639 04:33:06,830 --> 04:33:05,219 on the rocket to a series of three 4640 04:33:08,990 --> 04:33:06,840 ground stations we have back in our prep 4641 04:33:11,269 --> 04:33:09,000 area and then once we have those three 4642 04:33:13,310 --> 04:33:11,279 distances through a lot of funky 4643 04:33:15,289 --> 04:33:13,320 geometry and and all that we can pretty 4644 04:33:18,769 --> 04:33:15,299 much find the coordinates of the rocket 4645 04:33:20,449 --> 04:33:18,779 in a 3D space and then you know we take 4646 04:33:21,890 --> 04:33:20,459 that find the altitude and altitude over 4647 04:33:23,510 --> 04:33:21,900 time velocity velocity over time 4648 04:33:25,670 --> 04:33:23,520 acceleration awesome 4649 04:33:26,990 --> 04:33:25,680 did you guys have a special name Ock it 4650 04:33:29,631 --> 04:33:27,000 or payload or anything 4651 04:33:32,209 --> 04:33:29,641 uh yeah so our Rocket's called Hyperion 4652 04:33:33,730 --> 04:33:32,219 um yeah okay well I did great today 4653 04:33:35,929 --> 04:33:33,740 thank you so much for talking with me 4654 04:33:37,310 --> 04:33:35,939 congratulations on meeting your altitude 4655 04:33:38,631 --> 04:33:37,320 goals and enjoy the rest of the 4656 04:33:40,970 --> 04:33:38,641 competition absolutely thank you very 4657 04:33:43,609 --> 04:33:40,980 much thank you and with that that 4658 04:33:44,750 --> 04:33:43,619 concludes our second volley 4659 04:33:46,551 --> 04:33:44,760 um we're going to take a quick break 4660 04:33:48,349 --> 04:33:46,561 show you just a live overview of the 4661 04:59:17,708 --> 04:33:48,359 entire field here but we'll be back 4662 04:59:21,948 --> 04:59:20,090 the North Carolina State

05:32:02,208 --> 05:32:00,660 those switches from but probably could 5075 05:32:04,490 --> 05:32:02,218 turn on a whole city they're as big as 5076 05:32:07,010 --> 05:32:04,500 the biggest ones I've seen the team 5077 05:32:08,868 --> 05:32:07,020 names they always base their names off 5078 05:32:10,730 --> 05:32:08,878 of insects so this year was the 5079 05:32:13,128 --> 05:32:10,740 dragonfly and then they painted that 5080 05:32:14,690 --> 05:32:13,138 into the rocket as well I also found out 5081 05:32:16,970 --> 05:32:14,700 with the paint drop it took him over 5082 05:32:18,890 --> 05:32:16,980 five hours to mask off and paint the 5083 05:32:20,150 --> 05:32:18,900 rocket but they were very committed to 5084 05:32:22,970 --> 05:32:20,160 style points which I don't know if 5085 05:32:25,310 --> 05:32:22,980 that's a area to qualify for but maybe 5086 05:32:28,010 --> 05:32:25,320 it is a part of the competition okay on 5087 05:32:31,430 --> 05:32:28,020 pad 42 we're gonna

was that no but the name of the 5106 05:34:31,010 --> 05:34:27,360 rocket is Cosmos not to be mixed up with 5107 05:34:34,430 --> 05:34:31,020 North Dakota Cosmo so Cosmos here Cosmo 5108 05:34:35,930 --> 05:34:34,440 earlier this is the first time this team 5109 05:34:38,930 --> 05:34:35,940 has ever had a flight in Huntsville 5110 05:34:42,110 --> 05:34:38,940 Alabama it's a 34 pound rocket six inch 5111 05:34:43,990 --> 05:34:42,120 in diameter 9.33 feet tall they want to 5112 05:34:47,690 --> 05:34:44,000 say thank you to 5113 05:34:49,550 --> 05:34:47,700 Spring Grove for help on the motor so 5114 05:34:51,948 --> 05:34:49,560 thank you nice for the teams to kind of 5115 05:34:53,810 --> 05:34:51,958 work together on this one they use the 5116 05:34:57,410 --> 05:34:53,820 experiment information it's called clamp 5117 05:34:59,330 --> 05:34:57,420 camera Lander area mapping payload has a 5118 05:35:02,270 --> 05:34:59,340 servo motor powers 5119 05:35:04,490 --> 05:35:02,280 Twist of leads and screws attached to 5120 05:35:06,410 --> 05:35:04,500 the nose cone the nose come separates 5121 05:35:09,470 --> 05:35:06,420 from the body tube and the camera then 5122 05:35:13,850 --> 05:35:12,170 this is flying on an Aerotech 5123 05:35:15,830 --> 05:35:13,860 oh no actually you know it's changed 5124 05:35:18,830 --> 05:35:15,840 it's flying on a cesaroni 5125 05:35:19,910 --> 05:35:18,840 K 1440 I think it's the white Thunder 5126 05:35:22,430 --> 05:35:19,920 motor 5127 05:35:25,250 --> 05:35:22,440 maybe 4 800 feet I'd probably say 5128 05:35:27,470 --> 05:35:25,260 probably close to 4 000 feet oh and with 5129 05:35:29,270 --> 05:35:27,480 this rocket in the payload section it 5130 05:35:31,128 --> 05:35:29,280 had the most wires I've ever seen I 5131 05:35:32,690 --> 05:35:31,138 think they took a computer took all the 5132 05:35:34,850 --> 05:35:32,700 wires out of it and stuffed it into that 5133 05:35:36,530 --> 05:35:34,860 payload it was very organized with just 5134 05:35:38,390 --> 05:35:36,540 a lot of wires 5135 05:35:39,590 --> 05:35:38,400 they did say in the subscale flight the 5136 05:35:41,750 --> 05:35:39,600 nose cone went away I don't know what 5137 05:35:43,788 --> 05:35:41,760 they mean by went away but they had to 5138 05:35:45,890 --> 05:35:43,798 do another nose cone 5139 05:35:47,448 --> 05:35:45,900 they said usually when you attach the 5140 05:35:49,550 --> 05:35:47,458 nose cone that's a good thing so they 5141 05:35:51,890 --> 05:35:49,560 must have forgot to do that 5142 05:35:53,330 --> 05:35:51,900 this is the fourth year the team has 5143 05:35:55,670 --> 05:35:53,340 competed though it's the first time 5144 05:35:58,310 --> 05:35:55,680 they've made it out here this is a 30 5145 05:36:00,650 --> 05:35:58,320 person team on this project and the 5146 05:36:02,690 --> 05:36:00,660 university has a total of over a hundred 5147 05:36:04,910 --> 05:36:02,700 team members involved with the rocketry 5148 05:36:10,910 --> 05:36:04,920 on campus a very big group 5149 05:36:12,708 --> 05:36:10,920 okay pad 43 the Cosmos on the k-1440 we 5150 05:36:16,550 --> 05:36:12,718 have a clear sky we have a clear range 5151 05:36:18,410 --> 05:36:16,560 we will launch in five four three two 5152 05:36:24,530 --> 05:36:18,420 one ignition 5153 05:36:31,208 --> 05:36:29,510 a like mild Corkscrew on the ascent part 5154 05:36:34,970 --> 05:36:31,218 you probably have to guess 5155 05:36:41,690 --> 05:36:34,980 maybe up to 3000 feet there is a drug on 5156 05:36:41,700 --> 05:36:46,550 main is set for 600 feet 5157 05:36:52,128 --> 05:36:48,530 we should probably be about 1500 feet 5158 05:36:55,850 --> 05:36:53,570 it's gonna be about a thousand so any 5159 05:36:58,850 --> 05:36:55,860 moment now we should see the main 5160 05:37:01,010 --> 05:36:58,860 there's the main the main needs to open 5161 05:37:01,920 --> 05:37:01,020 get some air under there 5162 05:37:07,190 --> 05:37:01,930 there it is 5163 05:37:10,730 --> 05:37:08,810 all right nice showing for the first 5164 05:37:11,890 --> 05:37:10,740 time out here good looks like to be a 5165 05:37:13,430 --> 05:37:11,900 good flight 5166 05:37:15,830 --> 05:37:13,440 [Music] 5167 05:37:20,390 --> 05:37:15,840 well one person is really excited I can 5168 05:37:20,400 --> 05:37:28,550 okay we're going to now pad number 60 5169 05:37:36,948 --> 05:37:30,470 . 5170 05:37:41,090 --> 05:37:36,958 yeah but when a pad 60 this is NASA at 5171 05:37:43,970 --> 05:37:41,100 yeah NASA at SL at VT this is Virginia 5172 05:37:46,550 --> 05:37:43,980 Tech at a Blacksburg Virginia 5173 05:37:48,850 --> 05:37:46,560 the name of this rocket is the fighting 5174 05:37:52,430 --> 05:37:48,860 gobbler 54 pounds 5175 05:37:56,570 --> 05:37:52,440 6.17 inch diameter 5176 05:37:58,128 --> 05:37:56,580 uh length is 146 feet tall that is a 5177 05:38:00,590 --> 05:37:58,138 really tall rocket 5178 05:38:03,890 --> 05:38:00,600 the other vehicle notes is this a lipo 5179 05:38:05,868 --> 05:38:03,900 located in Upper forward section 5180 05:38:07,368 --> 05:38:05,878 okay I feel like a lot of rockets have 5181 05:38:09,590 --> 05:38:07,378 LiPO batteries but they wanted to call 5182 05:38:12,788 --> 05:38:09,600 that one out the experiment information 5183 05:38:16,250 --> 05:38:12,798 is called Owl is an autonomous camera 5184 05:38:20,090 --> 05:38:16,260 receding radio commands 5185 05:38:21,288 --> 05:38:20,100 this one is flying on a Aerotech l1420 5186 05:38:24,650 --> 05:38:21,298 Red Line 5187 05:38:26,690 --> 05:38:24,660 should go about 5 000 feet this was a 5188 05:38:28,610 --> 05:38:26,700 pretty unique rocket with the payload I 5189 05:38:31,788 --> 05:38:28,620 saw the camera that rotates in two 5190 05:38:34,310 --> 05:38:31,798 different axes axes swivels in both 5191 05:38:35,990 --> 05:38:34,320 directions and the payload is always set 5192 05:38:38,208 --> 05:38:36,000 to land upright 5193 05:38:40,670 --> 05:38:38,218 had a really cool paint job as it faded 5194 05:38:43,430 --> 05:38:40,680 into the school team colors this team 5195 05:38:45,650 --> 05:38:43,440 also has about 30 to 32 team members and 5196 05:38:47,990 --> 05:38:45,660 16 of them are here today 5197 05:38:50,990 --> 05:38:48,000 I was told the team also has their own 5198 05:38:52,850 --> 05:38:51,000 Instagram page they have a also have a 5199 05:38:54,530 --> 05:38:52,860 brochure about their rocket Labs which 5200 05:38:56,990 --> 05:38:54,540 was pretty neat to see a very well done 5201 05:38:58,850 --> 05:38:57,000 professionally brochure okay on pad 60 5202 05:39:00,530 --> 05:38:58,860 we're gonna watch the fighting gobbler 5203 05:39:04,430 --> 05:39:00,540 clear sky 5204 05:39:14,390 --> 05:39:04,440 clear range we will launch in five four 5205 05:39:14,400 --> 05:39:19,190 uh Park's looking good 5206 05:39:24,170 --> 05:39:22,430 a really nice slow Majestic takeoff easy 5207 05:39:26,390 --> 05:39:24,180 on the electronic because what they were 5208 05:39:28,368 --> 05:39:26,400 going for arcing over 5209

5230 05:41:32,750 --> 05:41:30,240 yeah 5231 05:41:37,128 --> 05:41:32,760 we're gonna call it Bob okay this rocket 5232 05:41:40,070 --> 05:41:37,138 weighs 41.38 pounds 6.17 inch diameter 5233 05:41:42,470 --> 05:41:40,080 length is 8.7 feet tall 5234 05:41:44,330 --> 05:41:42,480 this rocket is a unique paint job it is 5235 05:41:46,430 --> 05:41:44,340 painted like rainbow road if anyone's 5236 05:41:48,288 --> 05:41:46,440 ever played Mario Kart that's one of 5237 05:41:49,788 --> 05:41:48,298 those really hard levels that has 5238 05:41:51,230 --> 05:41:49,798 painted like the Rainbow Road they put a 5239 05:41:54,948 --> 05:41:51,240 lot of work into that 5240 05:41:58,490 --> 05:41:54,958 the experiment information says soas 5241 05:42:01,730 --> 05:41:58,500 surrounding Optics in camera system 5242 05:42:04,730 --> 05:42:01,740 and then on this project they had a lot 5243 05:42:06,650 --> 05:42:04,740 of they call it uh cupola which is a 5244 05:42:09,470 --> 05:42:06,660 play on the what the International Space 5245 05:42:11,628 --> 05:42:09,480 Station has or an Italian word for Dome 5246 05:42:13,430 --> 05:42:11,638 so that's where all the cameras are 5247 05:42:15,770 --> 05:42:13,440 going and they have a 3D printed tail 5248 05:42:17,270 --> 05:42:15,780 cone for aerodynamics 5249 05:42:20,030 --> 05:42:17,280 they also have some hidden 5250 05:42:22,970 --> 05:42:20,040 constellations painted in the rocket 5251 05:42:25,310 --> 05:42:22,980 in the past 10 days they had a subscale 5252 05:42:27,770 --> 05:42:25,320 or scale flight they said the motor 5253 05:42:29,628 --> 05:42:27,780 rapidly disassembled I don't know what 5254 05:42:31,430 --> 05:42:29,638 that means but they had to rebuild 5255 05:42:33,948 --> 05:42:31,440 sections of the rocket including part of 5256 05:42:36,590 --> 05:42:33,958 the payload the fins are removable and 5257 05:42:39,170 --> 05:42:36,600 they have brought spare ones with them 5258 05:42:41,570 --> 05:42:39,180 this this team also has a 10 person 5259 05:42:43,670 --> 05:42:41,580 leadership team and they are proud to 5260 05:42:44,690 --> 05:42:43,680 have eight of them being

the 5264 05:42:54,830 --> 05:42:53,040 team twice and won the majority vote so 5265 05:42:57,650 --> 05:42:54,840 they had to vote on it twice 5266 05:43:00,230 --> 05:42:57,660 also with this team itself in the 5267 05:43:01,270 --> 05:43:00,240 University of North Carolina State 5268 05:43:03,948 --> 05:43:01,280 University 5269 05:43:06,708 --> 05:43:03,958 they've had several team members that 5270 05:43:09,050 --> 05:43:06,718 have competed in this SLI and it now 5271 05:43:13,368 --> 05:43:09,060 worked for NASA to this day even a story 5272 05:43:15,530 --> 05:43:13,378 and feature piece last year on John I 5273 05:43:18,110 --> 05:43:15,540 Inez who actually is in the house today 5274 05:43:21,830 --> 05:43:18,120 so John is in the house take a bow John 5275 05:43:23,628 --> 05:43:21,840 yeah John's excited he's waving okay so 5276 05:43:26,448 --> 05:43:23,638 a lot of alumn now work for NASA this 5277 05:43:28,430 --> 05:43:26,458 thing is all coming together 5278 05:43:31,250 --> 05:43:28,440 okay why should people call the rocket 5279 05:43:33,110 --> 05:43:31,260 John instead of Bob okay on pad 61 we 5280 05:43:36,590 --> 05:43:33,120 have a clear sky we have a clear range 5281 05:43:45,470 --> 05:43:36,600 we're gonna launch in five four three 5282 05:43:51,470 --> 05:43:48,590 oh I meant it's an Aerotech l1520 Blue 5283 05:43:56,150 --> 05:43:51,480 Thunder should be on its way to 4 500 5284 05:44:04,910 --> 05:43:58,910 for an arc over 5285 05:44:04,920 --> 05:44:08,090 the main 5286 05:44:17,628 --> 05:44:11,570 maybe a thousand feet 600 feet 600 feet 5287 05:44:26,048 --> 05:44:19,910 still probably about 2 000 feet up right 5288 05:44:26,058 --> 05:44:36,410 approaching a thousand right now 5289 05:44:40,368 --> 05:44:38,208 okay we should see the parachute any 5290 05:44:42,288 --> 05:44:40,378 moment now 5291 05:44:45,948 --> 05:44:42,298 there it is 5292 05:44:52,730 --> 05:44:49,820 the Rainbow Road paint job came in handy 5293 05:44:54,970 --> 05:44:52,740 [Applause] 5294 05:45:00,770 --> 05:44:54,980 oh 5295 05:45:00,780 --> 05:45:08,030 see where that lands 5296 05:45:15,948 --> 05:45:10,010 yup it's in front of the trees so 5297 05:45:20,690 --> 05:45:18,288 okay I'm pad 62 we have Cedarville 5298 05:45:24,230 --> 05:45:20,700 student launch at a Cedarville 5299 05:45:26,770 --> 05:45:24,240 University in Cedarville Ohio 5300 05:45:30,830 --> 05:45:26,780 name of this rock is called Trailblazer 5301 05:45:33,288 --> 05:45:30,840 56.34 pounds six inch in diameter is 10 5302 05:45:35,868 --> 05:45:33,298 feet tall the name of this or this 5303 05:45:37,970 --> 05:45:35,878 rocket is painted like 5304 05:45:39,890 --> 05:45:37,980 like a cob of corn 5305 05:45:41,570 --> 05:45:39,900 so yeah it's going to kind of blend in 5306 05:45:42,890 --> 05:45:41,580 with the scenery here so there is a 5307 05:45:46,610 --> 05:45:42,900 rocket out there 5308 05:45:51,250 --> 05:45:46,620 the experiment information it has uh 5309 05:45:54,430 --> 05:45:51,260 Peep and ALS which stands for panoramic 5310 05:45:55,990 --> 05:45:54,440 extraterrestrial environment 5311 05:45:58,730 --> 05:45:56,000 uh 5312 05:46:01,850 --> 05:45:58,740 photographer rotates around body tube 5313 05:46:05,208 --> 05:46:01,860 after landing then the secondary airbag 5314 05:46:10,970 --> 05:46:05,218 Landing system deployed with CO2 5315 05:46:16,868 --> 05:46:13,850 and this is flying on Aerotech l2200 5316 05:46:19,910 --> 05:46:16,878 Mojave green should go about 4 400 feet 5317 05:46:21,830 --> 05:46:19,920 yep they said call it peep not Peeps 5318 05:46:23,990 --> 05:46:21,840 they don't know what it stands for oh 5319 05:46:26,930 --> 05:46:24,000 they didn't tell me earlier okay 5320 05:46:29,330 --> 05:46:26,940 and when this team also has fishing line 5321 05:46:32,510 --> 05:46:29,340 on the inside and it melts some fishing 5322 05:46:34,430 --> 05:46:32,520 line to move the payload around so we've 5323 05:46:35,448 --> 05:46:34,440 got all kinds of stuff from there their 5324 05:46:37,250 --> 05:46:35,458 parents are probably wondering where 5325 05:46:40,670 --> 05:46:37,260 their fishing line went 5326 05:46:43,128 --> 05:46:40,680 let's also for this team 5327 05:46:44,930 --> 05:46:43,138 a interesting fact on this team for them 5328 05:46:46,970 --> 05:46:44,940 to work and cut with fiberglass they had 5329 05:46:48,948 --> 05:46:46,980 to be in full coveralls and the team 5330 05:46:50,990 --> 05:46:48,958 liked to do that and had fun with it 5331 05:46:52,850 --> 05:46:51,000 they like they're doing a good job 5332 05:46:55,310 --> 05:46:52,860 following the school's safety guidelines 5333 05:46:58,610 --> 05:46:55,320 a total of 10 team members for this 5334 05:47:02,150 --> 05:46:58,620 project pad 62 the flying year of corn 5335 05:47:05,990 --> 05:47:02,160 the Trailblazer clear sky clear range we 5336 05:47:16,548 --> 05:47:06,000 will watch in five four three two one 5337 05:47:16,558 --> 05:47:21,948 supposed to be on its way to 4 400 feet 5338 05:47:21,958 --> 05:47:25,970 start an arc over 5339 05:47:45,590 --> 05:47:28,610 there's an event 5340 05:47:45,600 --> 05:47:51,670 foreign 5341 05:47:51,680 --> 05:47:56,410 feet right now 5342 05:48:02,690 --> 05:48:00,470 probably about a thousand feet 5343 05:48:07,190 --> 05:48:02,700 should be any moment now the main comes 5344 05:48:11,868 --> 05:48:08,690 all right looks like a good textbook 5345 05:48:36,948 --> 05:48:20,390 s 5346 05:48:39,530 --> 05:48:36,958 pretty cool they named it after their 5347 05:48:41,208 --> 05:48:39,540 Mentor Dave so Dave brunstein has been a 5348 05:48:43,548 --> 05:48:41,218 mentor for a number of years for this 5349 05:48:46,610 --> 05:48:43,558 team so pretty cool that they attributed 5350 05:48:49,930 --> 05:48:46,620 the rocket after him rocket weighs 53.6 5351 05:48:53,330 --> 05:48:49,940 pounds 6.17 inch diameter 5352 05:48:55,970 --> 05:48:53,340 10.875 feet tall this rocket does have 5353 05:48:58,730 --> 05:48:55,980 an apogee control system on board that 5354 05:49:01,670 --> 05:48:58,740 actively adjusts altitude using 5355 05:49:04,250 --> 05:49:01,680 extendable or extending fins so the 5356 05:49:07,730 --> 05:49:04,260 target altitude is 4 600 feet of 5357 05:49:10,010 --> 05:49:07,740 Aerotech L 2200 Mojave green on the 5358 05:49:12,490 --> 05:49:10,020 experiment information it has a 360 5359 05:49:15,070 --> 05:49:12,500 degree rotating Optical 5360 05:49:19,490 --> 05:49:15,080 Optical imager called 5361 05:49:22,368 --> 05:49:19,500 iroy lead screws system deploys camera 5362 05:49:24,650 --> 05:49:22,378 out of front and payload body tube gamer 5363 05:49:28,610 --> 05:49:24,660 can spin 360 degrees 5364 05:49:31,490 --> 05:49:28,620 about z-axis from rafco 5365 05:49:33,288 --> 05:49:31,500 lots of stuff going on there so without 5366 05:49:35,208 --> 05:49:33,298 that air braking system the rocket would 5367 05:49:39,288 --> 05:49:35,218 go to 5300 feet but it's going to have 5368 05:49:41,150 --> 05:49:39,298 it limit itself to 4 600 100 feet when 5369 05:49:43,070 --> 05:49:41,160 looking at the rocket the fins looked 5370 05:49:44,628 --> 05:49:43,080 really small but done all its upscale 5371 05:49:47,510 --> 05:49:44,638 flights they notice there's a little bit 5372 05:49:49,990 --> 05:49:47,520 overstable and they said they filed the 5373 05:49:52,670 --> 05:49:50,000 fins down hope they didn't take too long 5374 05:49:54,650 --> 05:49:52,680 and then they said this rocket has a 5375 05:49:56,270 --> 05:49:54,660 very strong selfie game so I don't know 5376 05:49:58,310 --> 05:49:56,280 what's going on with their selfie game 5377 05:50:06,590 --> 05:49:58,320 but that rocket possesses it 5378 05:50:12,048 --> 05:50:09,048 so this team does have a 50-person team 5379 05:50:13,788 --> 05:50:12,058 that they only have four seniors on this 5380 05:50:16,250 --> 05:50:13,798 team so there's a lot of underclassmen 5381 05:50:18,230 --> 05:50:16,260 on this team supporting it they also did 5382 05:50:21,770 --> 05:50:18,240 paint the rocket based off the football 5383 05:50:25,070 --> 05:50:21,780 designed uniform special to this year 5384 05:50:28,548 --> 05:50:25,080 this rocket has also landed in 5385 05:50:31,310 --> 05:50:28,558 it's landed on higher than normal 5386 05:50:32,930 --> 05:50:31,320 um platforms maybe or maybe not a tree a 5387 05:50:35,030 --> 05:50:32,940 couple of times and almost did it a 5388 05:50:38,510 --> 05:50:35,040 third time so they want to stay away 5389 05:50:40,788 --> 05:50:38,520 from trees I've been told pad 63 the uh 5390 05:50:42,530 --> 05:50:40,798 brunstein ready to go we have a clear 5391 05:50:46,548 --> 05:50:42,540 sky we have a clear range we're going to 5392 05:50:51,430 --> 05:50:46,558 launch this in five four three two one 5393 05:50:51,440 --> 05:50:54,670 thank you 5394 05:50:54,680 --> 05:51:06,230 so it should limit itself to 4 600 feet 5395 05:51:11,990 --> 05:51:08,390 starting to Arc over 5396 05:51:12,000 --> 05:51:27,530 your parachute is out 5397 05:51:36,948 --> 05:51:29,930 so the main on this one is set for 900 5398 05:51:36,958 --> 05:51:50,208 oh 5399 05:51:58,250 --> 05:51:52,128 parachutes I'm sorry the rock is still 5400 05:52:03,890 --> 05:52:01,310 that was the backup I think another all 5401 05:52:06,530 --> 05:52:03,900 kinds of charges on this rocket need the 5402 05:52:09,110 --> 05:52:06,540 parachutes open please there is a lot of 5403 05:52:10,788 --> 05:52:09,120 parachutes this one's gonna blink it a 5404 05:52:13,190 --> 05:52:10,798 little bit 5405 05:52:28,430 --> 05:52:13,200 falls down 5406 05:52:35,750 --> 05:52:31,610 okay so we're going to pad number 80. 5407 05:52:40,368 --> 05:52:35,760 this is the United States Naval Academy 5408 05:52:45,410 --> 05:52:42,350 name of this rocket is called Sunday

featherweight 5505 05:57:28,788 --> 05:57:26,940 brand the experiment information is 5506 05:57:32,690 --> 05:57:28,798 called Scout which stands for spinning 5507 05:57:38,150 --> 05:57:36,170 can't read the writing of something you 5508 05:57:40,368 --> 05:57:38,160 and it looks like it says we are not 5509 05:57:42,830 --> 05:57:40,378 flying the payload of observing terrain 5510 05:57:44,628 --> 05:57:42,840 unknown that's what it stands for 5511 05:57:47,628 --> 05:57:44,638 they're not flying the payload but 5512 05:57:50,570 --> 05:57:47,638 before it was they they crossed out 5513 05:57:52,250 --> 05:57:50,580 destroyed and put damaged Scout was our 5514 05:57:54,048 --> 05:57:52,260 payload 5515 05:57:56,150 --> 05:57:54,058 so it just had a little bit of a damage 5516 05:57:59,628 --> 05:57:56,160 to it this rocket is flying on an 5517 05:58:01,970 --> 05:57:59,638 Aerotech l850 White Lightning should go 5518 05:58:05,208 --> 05:58:01,980 about 4 700 feet this team does have two 5519 05:58:07,310 --> 05:58:05,218 avionic bays has removable fans point of 5520 05:58:08,570 --> 05:58:07,320 view camera nosco does come down a 5521 05:58:10,788 --> 05:58:08,580 separate recovery 5522 05:58:13,128 --> 05:58:10,798 this team is made up about 20 members 5523 05:58:15,350 --> 05:58:13,138 they have they have definitely spent 5524 05:58:17,570 --> 05:58:15,360 over a thousand hours on this project 5525 05:58:20,090 --> 05:58:17,580 and they're very dedicated to it they 5526 05:58:21,708 --> 05:58:20,100 decorate the project in a Sharpie it 5527 05:58:24,590 --> 05:58:21,718 took them five hours to do it and ran 5528 05:58:26,030 --> 05:58:24,600 out of Sharpies also this rocket is the 5529 05:58:28,850 --> 05:58:26,040 only rocket that I'm aware of that is 5530 05:58:30,890 --> 05:58:28,860 waxed they wax the rocket 5531 05:58:32,330 --> 05:58:30,900 so for those that use rocket simulation 5532 05:58:34,490 --> 05:58:32,340 software you've probably heard of the 5533 05:58:37,070 --> 05:58:34,500 call out of finish and it says the 5534 05:58:39,590 --> 05:58:37,080 polished or smooth finish they took it a 5535 05:58:41,868 --> 05:58:39,600 step further and wanted to wax it one of 5536 05:58:45,650 --> 05:58:41,878 the team members referred to it as heavy 5537 05:58:48,830 --> 05:58:45,660 heavy slippery tuna technology that is 5538 05:58:51,590 --> 05:58:48,840 what this rocket has okay with the heavy 5539 05:58:54,230 --> 05:58:51,600 rocket on pad number 81. 5540 05:58:58,490 --> 05:58:54,240 clear sky clear range we will be 5541 05:59:01,430 --> 05:58:58,500 launching in five four three two one 5542 05:59:01,440 --> 05:59:08,990 there it goes 5543 05:59:09,000 --> 05:59:17,090 okay up parts looking good 5544 05:59:17,100 --> 05:59:21,230 sarking over 5545 05:59:25,788 --> 05:59:23,270 okay we don't have an event right now up 5546 05:59:30,048 --> 05:59:25,798 there it is a little late but there 5547 05:59:30,058 --> 05:59:45,010 it's okay 5548 06:00:00,948 --> 05:59:47,390 I mean 5549 06:00:04,910 --> 06:00:03,110 okay that rocket this will be uh it'll 5550 06:00:06,890 --> 06:00:04,920 be up there for a little bit so it's 5551 06:00:09,010 --> 06:00:06,900 like let's do a scan of the field take 5552 06:00:13,548 --> 06:00:09,020 some time 5553 06:00:15,948 --> 06:00:13,558 this is Vanderbilt Aerospace Design Lab 5554 06:00:18,350 --> 06:00:15,958 this is a Vanderbilt this is the school 5555 06:00:20,990 --> 06:00:18,360 out of Nashville Tennessee name of the 5556 06:00:23,628 --> 06:00:21,000 rocket is called New Ham has an unknown 5557 06:00:26,030 --> 06:00:23,638 weight six inch in diameter 10 feet tall 5558 06:00:29,150 --> 06:00:26,040 the experiment information is called 5559 06:00:32,510 --> 06:00:29,160 primary payload autonomous camera system 5560 06:00:35,810 --> 06:00:32,520 with a camera that lifts it swivels out 5561 06:00:38,208 --> 06:00:35,820 after recovering radio commands post 5562 06:00:43,190 --> 06:00:38,218 Landing secondary payload is an air 5563 06:00:49,788 --> 06:00:43,200 brake system targeting apogee called AAC 5564 06:00:52,628 --> 06:00:49,798 this one is flying on a CTI L 2375 it 5565 06:00:54,948 --> 06:00:52,638 should go about 4 500 feet 5566 06:00:58,430 --> 06:00:54,958 this rocket did have three different 5567 06:01:00,530 --> 06:00:58,440 sets of fins one stationary one variable 5568 06:01:02,868 --> 06:01:00,540 to hit a Target altitude and then one 5569 06:01:05,750 --> 06:01:02,878 that deploys upon Landing that's what 5570 06:01:07,850 --> 06:01:05,760 it's called the active apogee control 5571 06:01:10,610 --> 06:01:07,860 the name of the rocket is called New Ham 5572 06:01:15,530 --> 06:01:10,620 it's actually a tribute to ham which is 5573 06:01:21,590 --> 06:01:19,190 yes tribute to the monkey ham this is a 5574 06:01:24,650 --> 06:01:21,600 10 10 team members and this is actually 5575 06:01:26,150 --> 06:01:24,660 a part of a senior design project and 5576 06:01:28,610 --> 06:01:26,160 what I remember looking at that rocket 5577 06:01:30,470 --> 06:01:28,620 there's a lot of carbon fiber lots of 5578 06:01:32,510 --> 06:01:30,480 fins they got a lot of stuff in that 5579 06:01:35,448 --> 06:01:32,520 project so we'll see how it all comes 5580 06:01:35,458 --> 06:01:42,670 foreign 5581 06:01:53,208 --> 06:01:45,830 for the UC Davis rocket just to get 5582 06:01:58,430 --> 06:01:55,850 yeah it looks like UC Davis had a like 5583 06:02:11,470 --> 06:01:58,440 the nose cone part just landed and then 5584 06:02:18,530 --> 06:02:14,330 okay we'll we will proceed on with the 5585 06:02:21,230 --> 06:02:18,540 Vanderbilt rocket New Ham on pad 82. 5586 06:02:23,030 --> 06:02:21,240 we have a clear sky 5587 06:02:27,288 --> 06:02:23,040 we have a clear range we're going to 5588 06:02:32,690 --> 06:02:27,298 launch New Ham in five four three two 5589 06:02:39,310 --> 06:02:36,830 oh that body tube is barely hanging on 5590 06:02:42,170 --> 06:02:39,320 I could see that 5591 06:02:46,430 --> 06:02:42,180 so it's supposed to limit itself to 4 5592 06:02:46,440 --> 06:03:15,708 arcing over there's an event 5593 06:03:21,170 --> 06:03:17,628 okay we're still about 5594 06:03:26,030 --> 06:03:21,180 maybe 1500 feet 5595 06:03:31,190 --> 06:03:28,670 I mean it's set for 650 feet we're 5596 06:03:33,410 --> 06:03:31,200 approaching a thousand feet right now 5597 06:03:35,510 --> 06:03:33,420 should see the main parachute any moment 5598 06:03:38,680 --> 06:03:35,520 there it is 5599 06:03:45,590 --> 06:03:38,690 open up all right 5600 06:03:49,548 --> 06:03:47,810 [Music] 5601 06:04:08,390 --> 06:03:49,558 looks like that one's gonna take his 5602 06:04:08,400 --> 06:04:12,730 foreign 5603 06:04:17,990 --> 06:04:15,650 upon this rocket Landing it's supposed 5604 06:04:20,390 --> 06:04:18,000 to pop out one of the cameras and then 5605 06:04:22,190 --> 06:04:20,400 start to swivel around 5606 06:04:23,750 --> 06:04:22,200 doing a little maintenance out there at 5607 06:04:25,070 --> 06:04:23,760 the launch pad it's a little warm down 5608 06:04:30,830 --> 06:04:25,080 there so just trying to cool it off for 5609 06:05:04,930 --> 06:04:33,288 there's still one more before we uh 5610 06:05:04,940 --> 06:05:23,150

--> 06:06:54,470 okay we've got one more rocket on for 5616 06:06:58,730 --> 06:06:57,000 this volley the three in front we're 5617 06:07:00,288 --> 06:06:58,740 gonna actually integrate in the four 5618 06:07:02,628 --> 06:07:00,298 quality but we're gonna fly the one in 5619 06:07:05,150 --> 06:07:02,638 the far back pads furthest to the right 5620 06:07:07,970 --> 06:07:05,160 this is Darlington State University 5621 06:07:10,310 --> 06:07:07,980 rocket club out of tarlington state 5622 06:07:13,010 --> 06:07:10,320 university and Stevensville Texas pad 5623 06:07:15,650 --> 06:07:13,020 83. the name of this rocket is called 5624 06:07:23,030 --> 06:07:15,660 Turlington aeronautical and rocketry one 5625 06:07:26,470 --> 06:07:24,230 okay 5626 06:07:30,470 --> 06:07:26,480 four inch in diameter 5627 06:07:32,990 --> 06:07:30,480 uh 9.16 feet tall 5628 06:07:35,810 --> 06:07:33,000 the experiment information is called the 5629 06:07:39,288 --> 06:07:35,820 gimbal actuator system gas as a linear 5630 06:07:40,970 --> 06:07:39,298 actuator pushes gimbal camera arm out on 5631 06:07:43,490 --> 06:07:40,980 payload and if it works it'll be 5632 06:07:50,650 --> 06:07:43,500 straight gas 5633 06:07:54,410 --> 06:07:52,368 l910 5634 06:07:58,490 --> 06:07:54,420 this one's also time for the highest 5635 06:08:00,110 --> 06:07:58,500 attempted altitude at 5600 or 5690 feet 5636 06:08:01,910 --> 06:08:00,120 this is the first time the team has been 5637 06:08:04,250 --> 06:08:01,920 here in eight years 5638 06:08:06,048 --> 06:08:04,260 a week ago they had a failed and foul 5639 06:08:09,650 --> 06:08:06,058 payload which had to be completely 5640 06:08:11,390 --> 06:08:09,660 redone and they were able to build a new 5641 06:08:14,510 --> 06:08:11,400 one and rebuilt it 5642 06:08:16,548 --> 06:08:14,520 the rocket is is uh painted in all black 5643 06:08:18,230 --> 06:08:16,558 and then when I first saw it was not 5644 06:08:20,448 --> 06:08:18,240 have any accents so now they've got 5645 06:08:22,010 --> 06:08:20,458 purple added to it so they like the 5646 06:08:23,150 --> 06:08:22,020 subtle as more look but added some 5647 06:08:25,490 --> 06:08:23,160 purple 5648 06:08:27,288 --> 06:08:25,500 on this watch this rocket project and 5649 06:08:29,510 --> 06:08:27,298 team helped the university also 5650 06:08:31,310 --> 06:08:29,520 spearhead their aiaa membership 5651 06:08:36,948 --> 06:08:31,320 acceptance so pretty cool it's all 5652 06:08:41,448 --> 06:08:39,530 being told that there is a 5653 06:08:58,610 --> 06:08:41,458 pool as a planes were holding for a 5654 06:08:58,620 --> 06:09:06,830 um 5655 06:09:13,548 --> 06:09:09,890 okay we'll try it okay we're gonna try 5656 06:09:16,010 --> 06:09:13,558 pad 83 the tar1 5657 06:09:33,590 --> 06:09:16,020 Blue Sky quarter range we're gonna try 5658 06:09:38,330 --> 06:09:35,830 so that one is supposed to go 5659 06:09:41,448 --> 06:09:38,340 5600 feet I believe 5660 06:09:44,090 --> 06:09:41,458 we're tempting the highest altitude 5661 06:09:45,830 --> 06:09:44,100 there's the drove there's its back up to 5662 06:09:58,690 --> 06:09:45,840 the apogee 5663 06:09:58,700 --> 06:10:04,430 an hour 5664 06:10:16,610 --> 06:10:06,350 there's still probably a couple thousand 5665 06:10:16,620 --> 06:10:23,208 so there's still about 1500 feet 5666 06:10:29,570 --> 06:10:26,690 about a thousand feet just below it we 5667 06:10:32,860 --> 06:10:29,580 should see the parachute pretty soon 5668 06:10:35,280 --> 06:10:32,870 right about now there we go 5669 06:10:37,730 --> 06:10:35,290 [Applause] 5670 06:10:39,890 --> 06:10:37,740 [Music] 5671 06:10:43,310 --> 06:10:39,900 okay that 5672 06:10:44,990 --> 06:10:43,320 so that will conclude this is Lolly so 5673 06:10:47,448 --> 06:10:45,000 what we're going to do is the rockets on 5674 06:10:50,270 --> 06:10:47,458 10 11 12. we're gonna move it into 5675 06:10:51,770 --> 06:10:50,280 volley number four and for those rockets 5676 06:10:54,230 --> 06:10:51,780 that have not flown you're gonna need 5677 06:10:56,208 --> 06:10:54,240 the new volley volley four so you can go 5678 06:10:58,368 --> 06:10:56,218 out and start to set up rockets for 5679 06:11:02,330 --> 06:10:58,378 those pads make sure you go through 5680 06:11:04,548 --> 06:11:02,340 your check-in you're so check-in and go 5681 06:11:06,350 --> 06:11:04,558 through the pad managers and then for 5682 06:11:08,448 --> 06:11:06,360 recovering Rockets you got to be outside 5683 06:11:18,788 --> 06:11:08,458 of the range to go get your rocket so 5684 06:11:24,490 --> 06:11:21,410 hey everyone welcome back here to our 5685 06:11:29,868 --> 06:11:27,410 just launched a number of rockets here 5686 06:11:31,670 -->

personal project maybe not 5741 06:13:22,310 --> 06:13:20,400 exactly a kit rocket but design a 5742 06:13:25,128 --> 06:13:22,320 high-powered level one rocket get a lot 5743 06:13:26,628 --> 06:13:25,138 of that early knowledge rocket science 5744 06:13:28,070 --> 06:13:26,638 out of the way get some of that learning 5745 06:13:29,448 --> 06:13:28,080 curve so if you're interested in student 5746 06:13:32,270 --> 06:13:29,458 launch you can hit the ground running 5747 06:13:34,310 --> 06:13:32,280 more so and be more familiar with 5748 06:13:36,770 --> 06:13:34,320 everything

that will extend outward 5806 06:15:28,010 --> 06:15:26,100 and take pictures of the surrounding 5807 06:15:30,410 --> 06:15:28,020 areas we really wanted to challenge 5808 06:15:33,048 --> 06:15:30,420 ourselves and to kind of prove to 5809 06:15:35,330 --> 06:15:33,058 ourselves that we're on that same level 5810 06:15:37,670 --> 06:15:35,340 and that we have the capabilities to do 5811 06:15:38,930 --> 06:15:37,680 amazing things so you flew earlier today 5812 06:15:41,990 --> 06:15:38,940 how did it go 5813 06:15:44,930 --> 06:15:42,000 uh yeah so we actually had uh the main 5814 06:15:45,890 --> 06:15:44,940 deployment at uh apogee so we had a long 5815 06:15:48,530 --> 06:15:45,900 walk 5816 06:15:50,030 --> 06:15:48,540 um but thankfully uh if anything goes 5817 06:15:51,170 --> 06:15:50,040 wrong with a rocket this is what you 5818 06:15:53,208 --> 06:15:51,180 want to have go wrong right anything 5819 06:15:55,070 --> 06:15:53,218 else would you know your

06:22:35,448 --> 06:22:34,200 yeah everything deployed uh absolutely 6007 06:22:38,270 --> 06:22:35,458 perfectly so we were really happy about 6008 06:22:39,590 --> 06:22:38,280 how it went excellent so now getting to 6009 06:22:41,448 --> 06:22:39,600 student launch and getting here to 6010 06:22:43,910 --> 06:22:41,458 Huntsville for the finale it's a lot of 6011 06:22:45,830 --> 06:22:43,920 work and some challenges along the way 6012 06:22:47,510 --> 06:22:45,840 we talked to off camera a little bit 6013 06:22:49,690 --> 06:22:47,520 about some of those challenges talk to 6014 06:22:52,788 --> 06:22:49,700 uh tell our viewers at home about those 6015 06:22:55,490 --> 06:22:52,798 yeah so uh essentially for our first 6016 06:22:57,350 --> 06:22:55,500 full-scale launch our rocket having to 6017 06:22:59,628 --> 06:22:57,360 land at the top of a very very tall tree 6018 06:23:01,548 --> 06:22:59,638 uh and that led to us having to cut down 6019 06:23:02,990 --> 06:23:01,558 that tree and then it landed into a 6020 06:23:04,610 --> 06:23:03,000 second tree and then we had to cut that 6021 06:23:06,230 --> 06:23:04,620 tree down as well 6022 06:23:08,170 --> 06:23:06,240 um and then it fell on the rocket and we 6023 06:23:10,310 --> 06:23:08,180 had to remanufacture a lot of our parts 6024 06:23:11,930 --> 06:23:10,320 so it was definitely a challenge to get 6025 06:23:14,208 --> 06:23:11,940 through that but we did it successfully 6026 06:23:16,010 --> 06:23:14,218 so how do you come back from something 6027 06:23:17,510 --> 06:23:16,020 like that because I can imagine it would 6028 06:23:19,970 --> 06:23:17,520 just be devastating 6029 06:23:22,128 --> 06:23:19,980 yeah I mean honestly it's just a lot of 6030 06:23:24,230 --> 06:23:22,138 hours in the lab I think a lot of 6031 06:23:25,850 --> 06:23:24,240 overtime and uh kind of just bringing 6032 06:23:27,530 --> 06:23:25,860 the team together and making sure that 6033 06:23:29,390

the rocket is launching air 6095 06:25:44,390 --> 06:25:42,240 basically Powers the payload yes that's 6096 06:25:46,190 --> 06:25:44,400 super cool so what challenges is you 6097 06:25:48,350 --> 06:25:46,200 guys have to overcome this year uh we 6098 06:25:50,510 --> 06:25:48,360 had some recovery issues 6099 06:25:52,010 --> 06:25:50,520 um our payload wasn't working and we 6100 06:25:55,190 --> 06:25:52,020 were able to fix it under 24 hours 6101 06:25:57,110 --> 06:25:55,200 before the launch so we have adapted 6102 06:25:58,610 --> 06:25:57,120 very well yes absolutely and making 6103 06:26:00,708 --> 06:25:58,620 those last minute changes can be super 6104 06:26:02,090 --> 06:26:00,718 hard so how many years have you guys 6105 06:26:04,190 --> 06:26:02,100 competed in this competition or your 6106 06:26:06,590 --> 06:26:04,200 school this is our second year here so 6107 06:26:08,690 --> 06:26:06,600 most of us are second years there's a 6108 06:26:10,190 --> 06:26:08,700 couple First Years okay so what advice 6109 06:26:11,390 --> 06:26:10,200 would you give a new team or a new 6110 06:26:14,270 --> 06:26:11,400 student 6111 06:26:16,010 --> 06:26:14,280 uh I would say we're together we're a 6112 06:26:17,448 --> 06:26:16,020 family and it's we've come a long way 6113 06:26:18,708 --> 06:26:17,458 and I think we've all gotten to know 6114 06:26:21,350 --> 06:26:18,718 each other really well 6115 06:26:22,850 --> 06:26:21,360 so how far is the the location where you 6116 06:26:24,470 --> 06:26:22,860 guys practice your launches how far is 6117 06:26:29,690 --> 06:26:24,480 that from your school 6118 06:26:32,930 --> 06:26:31,310 finding a lot of teams have to travel 6119 06:26:35,448 --> 06:26:32,940 really far so that adds another layer of 6120 06:26:36,470 --> 06:26:35,458 challenges of course right so do you 6121 06:26:37,910 --> 06:26:36,480 guys have anyone you want to shout out 6122 06:26:39,410 --> 06:26:37,920 or think today 6123 06:26:41,510 --> 06:26:39,420 um we would like to shout out the walk 6124 06:26:45,350 --> 06:26:41,520 in the park Foundation kenwright Sellers 6125 06:26:47,208 --> 06:26:45,360 and Willow Springs Auto and Paint okay 6126 06:26:48,770 --> 06:26:47,218 awesome thank you guys so much for 6127 06:26:50,930 --> 06:26:48,780 talking to me today with me today 6128 06:26:52,430 --> 06:26:50,940 congratulations on a great launch and 6129 06:26:54,590 --> 06:26:52,440 have a great rest of your day thank you 6130 06:26:56,750 --> 06:26:54,600 thank you 6131 06:26:59,570 --> 06:26:56,760 okay well who do we have next joining us 6132 06:27:00,830 --> 06:26:59,580 yeah Elaine I love once again I love 6133 06:27:02,570 --> 06:27:00,840 seeing these high school teams that 6134 06:27:05,208 --> 06:27:02,580 payload I mean the rocket looks like 6135 06:27:07,310 --> 06:27:05,218 that payload the seed dispersion that's 6136 06:27:08,990 --> 06:27:07,320 just cool maybe uh maybe we should go 6137 06:27:10,548 --> 06:27:09,000 plant some seeds using their Rockets oh 6138 06:27:12,590 --> 06:27:10,558 yeah that sounds great and I want to 6139 06:27:13,850 --> 06:27:12,600 bring up you know the the college teams 6140 06:27:15,048 --> 06:27:13,860 have certain requirements they have to 6141 06:27:16,670 --> 06:27:15,058 meet for their payloads and high 6142 06:27:18,110 --> 06:27:16,680 schoolers have kind of more freedom they 6143 06:27:20,810 --> 06:27:18,120 can choose whatever science or 6144 06:27:22,128 --> 06:27:20,820 technology technology experiment they 6145 06:27:23,570 --> 06:27:22,138 want to do so it's really cool to hear 6146 06:27:25,070 --> 06:27:23,580 that that's the route they went it's 6147 06:27:27,110 --> 06:27:25,080 always interesting to see what the Young 6148 06:27:29,208 --> 06:27:27,120 Minds come up with it makes me feel a 6149 06:27:30,890 --> 06:27:29,218 lot better about the future of our space 6150 06:27:32,570 --> 06:27:30,900 flight industry knowing we have 6151 06:27:35,690 --> 06:27:32,580 Brilliant Minds like that absolutely 6152 06:27:37,548 --> 06:27:35,700 right yes absolutely Innovative and 6153 06:27:40,430 --> 06:27:37,558 awesome looking stuff we have Oregon 6154 06:27:43,850 --> 06:27:40,440 State University y'all come on in 6155 06:27:45,350 --> 06:27:43,860 this beautiful rocket beside us tell us 6156 06:27:47,810 --> 06:27:45,360 your name and what your role on the team 6157 06:27:50,628 --> 06:27:47,820 is uh so my name is Jacob Justin Colton 6158 06:27:53,330 --> 06:27:50,638 everyone calls me JJ uh and I am the 6159 06:27:54,770 --> 06:27:53,340 team captain of the Oregon State usli so 6160 06:27:57,350 --> 06:27:54,780 you guys flew earlier how did the flight 6161 06:27:59,510 --> 06:27:57,360 go uh the flight actually went amazingly 6162 06:28:02,390 --> 06:27:59,520 uh our rocket is called Overkill because 6163 06:28:04,128 --> 06:28:02,400 we over designed it all so thankfully uh 6164 06:28:06,650 --> 06:28:04,138 it lived up to its name now speaking of 6165 06:28:09,288 --> 06:28:06,660 design it's a beautiful paint job tell 6166 06:28:10,610 --> 06:28:09,298 us about what went into that so it also 6167 06:28:12,590 --> 06:28:10,620 had the benefit of unintentionally 6168 06:28:14,330 --> 06:28:12,600 matching our shirts but we did a stem 6169 06:28:16,010 --> 06:28:14,340 engagement event back in Oregon at the 6170 06:28:18,650 --> 06:28:16,020 Oregon Museum of Science and Industry 6171 06:28:20,750 --> 06:28:18,660 and we asked for a bunch of kids to come 6172 06:28:22,910 --> 06:28:20,760 and design our rocket and we voted on 6173 06:28:25,548 --> 06:28:22,920 the winner we had about 250 to 280 6174 06:28:27,830 --> 06:28:25,558 submissions and we voted on the winner 6175 06:28:30,890 --> 06:28:27,840 and the winner was Miss Alice so thank 6176 06:28:32,810 --> 06:28:30,900 you so hi in this Alice uh beautiful 6177 06:28:34,430 --> 06:28:32,820 rocket that you design and for everybody 6178 06:28:36,288 --> 06:28:34,440 back home stem engagement is one of the 6179 06:28:38,030 --> 06:28:36,298 key requirements Ford NASA student 6180 06:28:40,730 --> 06:28:38,040 launch so great that you guys were able 6181 06:28:41,810 --> 06:28:40,740 to to do that now understand that you 6182 06:28:44,868 --> 06:28:41,820 guys are starting we talk about 6183 06:28:46,250 --> 06:28:44,878 Traditions NASA we are deep in with our 6184 06:28:48,288 --> 06:28:46,260 Traditions I understand you guys have a 6185 06:28:50,990 --> 06:28:48,298 new one you're starting this year yeah 6186 06:28:53,150 --> 06:28:51,000 so we actually uh we kind of wanted to 6187 06:28:54,770 --> 06:28:53,160 stand out more and it became uh kind of 6188 06:28:56,090 --> 06:28:54,780 when I would get to meetings I would 6189 06:28:58,670 --> 06:28:56,100 always wear a Hawaiian shirt and be like 6190 06:29:00,170 --> 06:28:58,680 the dad of the team and so we made a 6191 06:29:01,548 --> 06:29:00,180 joke that we should wear Hawaiian shirts 6192 06:29:02,868 --> 06:29:01,558 for the launch and you know what we 6193 06:29:04,730 --> 06:29:02,878 ended up doing it if you noticed even 6194 06:29:08,030 --> 06:29:04,740 has our logo on it and our patch on the 6195 06:29:09,770 --> 06:29:08,040 uh the chest here oh that's so cool 6196 06:29:11,330 --> 06:29:09,780 um well so tell us about the payload 6197 06:29:13,368 --> 06:29:11,340 Challenge and how you guys undertook 6198 06:29:15,470 --> 06:29:13,378 that that really challenging 6199 06:29:17,810 --> 06:29:15,480 um obstacle that we put in front of you 6200 06:29:19,910 --> 06:29:17,820 yeah so the challenge certainly had a 6201 06:29:21,948 --> 06:29:19,920 lot of avenues to go down we ended up 6202 06:29:23,810 --> 06:29:21,958 trying to go down the one that allowed 6203 06:29:25,368 --> 06:29:23,820 us to use gravity more to our side than 6204 06:29:27,530 --> 06:29:25,378 making more complicated Mechanical 6205 06:29:29,330 --> 06:29:27,540 Devices so our payload is actually 6206 06:29:31,490 --> 06:29:29,340 called the goop or the gravity operated 6207 06:29:33,110 --> 06:29:31,500 oblong payload and it's housed in the 6208 06:29:35,390 --> 06:29:33,120 nose cone there so 6209 06:29:37,070 --> 06:29:35,400 if you've ever seen a Weeble wobble uh 6210 06:29:38,510 --> 06:29:37,080 you know you push it over and it comes 6211 06:29:39,890 --> 06:29:38,520 back up that's essentially what our 6212 06:29:42,048 --> 06:29:39,900 design is and it just has a camera that 6213 06:29:43,788 --> 06:29:42,058 Springs right out oh that's awesome so 6214 06:29:46,250 --> 06:29:43,798 you're using gravity using the basic 6215 06:29:48,288 --> 06:29:46,260 principles of physics uh to make your 6216 06:29:50,150 --> 06:29:48,298 payload even easier anybody back home 6217 06:29:52,548 --> 06:29:50,160 any sponsors any professors anybody you 6218 06:29:54,470 --> 06:29:52,558 want to say hi to uh I would like to say 6219 06:29:56,030 --> 06:29:54,480 hi to my family who drove the rocket 6220 06:29:58,128 --> 06:29:56,040 down here we wouldn't have done it 6221 06:30:00,708 --> 06:29:58,138 without them it was 40 hour drive so 6222 06:30:02,930 --> 06:30:00,718 thank you Mom and Dad I love you and 6223 06:30:04,970 --> 06:30:02,940 thank you to the Corvallis community and 6224 06:30:06,708 --> 06:30:04,980 Estacada community and all of Oregon in 6225 06:30:08,090 --> 06:30:06,718 general we didn't really get to bring 6226 06:30:09,230 --> 06:30:08,100 all of Oregon with us but we brought the 6227 06:30:11,690 --> 06:30:09,240 community in the rocket and with our 6228 06:30:14,150 --> 06:30:11,700 spirit man that just gave me goosebumps 6229 06:30:16,128 --> 06:30:14,160 that's so cool so hello to everyone in 6230 06:30:18,890 --> 06:30:16,138 Oregon out there in Pacific Northwest 6231 06:30:20,750 --> 06:30:18,900 taking care of our Rockets our future of 6232 06:30:23,750 --> 06:30:20,760 our space flight industry wearing good 6233 06:30:25,368 --> 06:30:23,760 hands with teams like Oregon State uh so 6234 06:30:26,570 --> 06:30:25,378 congratulations and we look forward to 6235 06:30:28,490 --> 06:30:26,580 seeing how the rest of the competition 6236 06:30:31,788 --> 06:30:28,500 goes for you all thank

--> 06:30:46,798 rocket which we've been promoting on 6244 06:30:50,750 --> 06:30:48,298 social media so make sure to follow us 6245 06:30:52,070 --> 06:30:50,760 there as well but hi please introduce 6246 06:30:55,128 --> 06:30:52,080 yourself and tell us your year in school 6247 06:30:56,628 --> 06:30:55,138 my name is Annie Roark I'm a senior 6248 06:30:59,208 --> 06:30:56,638 mechanical engineering major from 6249 06:31:01,490 --> 06:30:59,218 Cedarville University awesome so how'd 6250 06:31:04,010 --> 06:31:01,500 the launch go today overall we think it 6251 06:31:06,590 --> 06:31:04,020 went pretty well we had good asson both 6252 06:31:08,810 --> 06:31:06,600 our recovery events were successful we 6253 06:31:10,670 --> 06:31:08,820 had a couple issues on the landing just 6254 06:31:12,830 --> 06:31:10,680 our parachute's so big we're banging 6255 06:31:15,470 --> 06:31:12,840 around but really happy with our 6256 06:31:17,090 --> 06:31:15,480 recovery so yeah that's great so what 6257 06:31:19,548 --> 06:31:17,100 are you most proud of about your rocket 6258 06:31:22,310 --> 06:31:19,558 I think you know we're we're a small 6259 06:31:23,990 --> 06:31:22,320 Christian School and this is our senior 6260 06:31:25,850 --> 06:31:24,000 design project so none of us have ever 6261 06:31:27,788 --> 06:31:25,860 competed in this before none of us 6262 06:31:30,288 --> 06:31:27,798 really have any experience with rocketry 6263 06:31:31,910 --> 06:31:30,298 we kind of came into the competition 6264 06:31:33,830 --> 06:31:31,920 with the mindset you know we're gonna 6265 06:31:35,810 --> 06:31:33,840 glorify God with all our work and just 6266 06:31:37,548 --> 06:31:35,820 do our best and I think we were able to 6267 06:31:38,628 --> 06:31:37,558 make something that we are really proud 6268 06:31:40,788 --> 06:31:38,638 of 6269 06:31:42,948 --> 06:31:40,798 um ultimately really successful we're 6270 06:31:44,330 --> 06:31:42,958 happy with our payload and just the way 6271 06:31:46,490 --> 06:31:44,340 that we were able to come together as a 6272 06:31:48,830 --> 06:31:46,500 team yeah absolutely so what advice 6273 06:31:51,530 --> 06:31:48,840 would you give to another team yeah I'd 6274 06:31:53,990 --> 06:31:51,540 say uh get connected with local rocketry 6275 06:31:55,910 --> 06:31:54,000 clubs ours is the rights of rocketeers 6276 06:31:59,030 --> 06:31:55,920 and they were awesome our Mentor Dave 6277 06:32:01,430 --> 06:31:59,040 taught us so much right off the bat we 6278 06:32:03,170 --> 06:32:01,440 put in a lot of long hours but it was so 6279 06:32:05,510 --> 06:32:03,180 worth it just learning basics of 6280 06:32:06,890 --> 06:32:05,520 rocketry and then you can really apply 6281 06:32:09,288 --> 06:32:06,900 some of your technical engineering 6282 06:32:11,330 --> 06:32:09,298 skills to make things really good yeah 6283 06:32:14,510 --> 06:32:11,340 so tell me about the decision to paint 6284 06:32:16,850 --> 06:32:14,520 it like corn yeah so Cedarville we're 6285 06:32:20,090 --> 06:32:16,860 from Cedarville Ohio that is Southwest 6286 06:32:23,390 --> 06:32:20,100

did you guys face this year 6379 06:35:42,830 --> 06:35:38,520 yes we uh successfully overcame a number 6380 06:35:44,750 --> 06:35:42,840 of obstacles uh for example we overcame 6381 06:35:46,850 --> 06:35:44,760 a key challenge with our payload I'll 6382 06:35:49,310 --> 06:35:46,860 let my colleague midshipman first class 6383 06:35:51,530 --> 06:35:49,320 will megenson talk about the payload 6384 06:35:54,890 --> 06:35:51,540 okay yeah the pale was a major struggle 6385 06:35:56,570 --> 06:35:54,900 for us getting a package that would both 6386 06:35:59,270 --> 06:35:56,580 survive the landing and perform as 6387 06:36:02,330 --> 06:35:59,280 desired Ah that's a struggle it really 6388 06:36:04,490 --> 06:36:02,340 is we biggest problems came with airface 6389 06:36:06,830 --> 06:36:04,500 with the recovery system we had a lot of 6390 06:36:08,690 --> 06:36:06,840 parachute problems that required some uh 6391 06:36:11,570 --> 06:36:08,700 some harder Landings than anticipated 6392 06:36:13,788 --> 06:36:11,580 and that involves some damage to payload 6393 06:36:16,070 --> 06:36:13,798 so kind of working through that actually 6394 06:36:18,590 --> 06:36:16,080 I think it was two weeks ago on Sunday 6395 06:36:21,470 --> 06:36:18,600 we destroyed our payload on a no 6396 06:36:23,270 --> 06:36:21,480 parachute Landing so it was the week 6397 06:36:25,610 -->

06:38:38,638 perfect Flawless there was no issues at 6458 06:38:42,830 --> 06:38:40,620 all that doesn't often happen in 6459 06:38:45,110 --> 06:38:42,840 rocketry uh tell us about what this 6460 06:38:46,970 --> 06:38:45,120 process has been like and and challenges 6461 06:38:49,490 --> 06:38:46,980 that that brought you here this process 6462 06:38:51,110 --> 06:38:49,500 has been a lot of work trust me we've 6463 06:38:52,490 --> 06:38:51,120 gone through five full-scale flights 6464 06:38:54,948 --> 06:38:52,500 that this was actually our fifth right 6465 06:38:56,570 --> 06:38:54,958 here but our second full-scale flight we 6466 06:38:59,030 --> 06:38:56,580 actually crashed into a tree at 285 6467 06:39:00,948 --> 06:38:59,040 miles an hour because the whole recovery 6468 06:39:02,570 --> 06:39:00,958 system just didn't act properly and then 6469 06:39:03,830 --> 06:39:02,580 the third flight uh we only had two 6470 06:39:06,410 --> 06:39:03,840 charges go off and that was just the 6471 06:39:08,090 --> 06:39:06,420 main parachute so they didn't really 6472 06:39:10,190 --> 06:39:08,100 like that so our fourth flight was 6473 06:39:12,110 --> 06:39:10,200 actually on Saturday one week ago from 6474 06:39:15,708 --> 06:39:12,120 today and then we got approved to fly 6475 06:39:17,868 --> 06:39:15,718 Monday so it's been a hectic process so 6476 06:39:19,670 --> 06:39:17,878 determination and resiliency really kind 6477 06:39:22,128 --> 06:39:19,680 of seems to be the the motto of the team 6478 06:39:24,948 --> 06:39:22,138 yes yes definitely uh we're a six-member 6479 06:39:27,230 --> 06:39:24,958 team first year and we never gave up we 6480 06:39:29,270 --> 06:39:27,240 just kept pushing don't give up that's 6481 06:39:30,770 --> 06:39:29,280 awesome so talk to us about your payload 6482 06:39:32,628 --> 06:39:30,780 how what payload did you put in the 6483 06:39:34,850 --> 06:39:32,638 rocket so our payload is nicknamed near 6484 06:39:37,128 --> 06:39:34,860 i360 it's a near infrared atmospheric 6485 06:39:38,690 --> 06:39:37,138 Imaging system in 360 degrees so 6486 06:39:40,250 --> 06:39:38,700 basically it visualizes infrared 6487 06:39:41,990 --> 06:39:40,260 throughout the duration of the flight in 6488 06:39:43,070 --> 06:39:42,000 360 degrees and Compares it to 6489 06:39:44,810 --> 06:39:43,080 temperature humidity and pressure 6490 06:39:47,510 --> 06:39:44,820 sensors that are located within the 6491 06:39:49,310 --> 06:39:47,520 sensor Bay oh that's awesome so last 6492 06:39:51,350 --> 06:39:49,320

introduce yourself hi there 6520 06:40:47,030 --> 06:40:45,900 my name is Dawson Purcell and I'm a 6521 06:40:48,830 --> 06:40:47,040 mechanical engineer from northern 6522 06:40:50,390 --> 06:40:48,840 Arizona okay how'd the launch go today 6523 06:40:52,070 --> 06:40:50,400 you know it went pretty good it went 6524 06:40:53,570 --> 06:40:52,080 pretty good uh All Transport Systems 6525 06:40:55,010 --> 06:40:53,580 function nominally uh most of our 6526 06:40:56,390 --> 06:40:55,020 payload systems did function nominally 6527 06:40:57,708 --> 06:40:56,400 we had a little bit of issue with a 6528 06:40:59,690 --> 06:40:57,718 deployments because we did deploy away 6529 06:41:01,490 --> 06:40:59,700 from the body tube to produce any drag 6530 06:41:03,350 --> 06:41:01,500 dude recoveries 6531 06:41:05,628 --> 06:41:03,360 experience a little hiccup for that but 6532 06:41:07,670 --> 06:41:05,638 mostly our systems work nominally yeah 6533 06:41:09,110 --> 06:41:07,680 that's great to hear so what challenges 6534 06:41:11,090 --> 06:41:09,120 have you guys kind of faced over the 6535 06:41:12,110 --> 06:41:11,100 school year yeah you know I think uh 6536 06:41:14,390 --> 06:41:12,120 it's going to be the same with Most 6537 06:41:16,010 --> 06:41:14,400 teens but resources time management that 6538 06:41:18,708 --> 06:41:16,020 kind of thing getting parts on you know 6539 06:41:20,030 --> 06:41:18,718 here on time Northern Arizona actually 6540 06:41:21,650 --> 06:41:20,040 experienced a record-breaking snowfall 6541 06:41:22,910 --> 06:41:21,660 so we had a lot of snow days off and 6542 06:41:24,410 --> 06:41:22,920 we're plowing through the snow just to 6543 06:41:26,990 --> 06:41:24,420 get there and build the rocket Arizona 6544 06:41:29,390 --> 06:41:27,000 yes ma'am wow that's that's incredible 6545 06:41:31,430 --> 06:41:29,400 to hear so uh what advice would you give 6546 06:41:33,350 --> 06:41:31,440 to teams who are new to the competition 6547 06:41:35,690 --> 06:41:33,360 oh my goodness uh start early start 6548 06:41:37,010 --> 06:41:35,700 early and really run through your 6549 06:41:38,690 --> 06:41:37,020 planning 6550 06:41:40,430 --> 06:41:38,700 um look at uh your motor selection and 6551 06:41:41,750 --> 06:41:40,440 shoot oh you can bring your apogee down 6552 06:41:42,948 --> 06:41:41,760 is what I would definitely recommend 6553 06:41:44,208 --> 06:41:42,958 that's one of the biggest things we've 6554 06:41:46,548 --> 06:41:44,218 been seeing a lot of students not 6555 06:41:47,930 --> 06:41:46,558 meeting apogee too so yeah so how many 6556 06:41:49,310 --> 06:41:47,940 people are on your team are you guys a 6557 06:41:50,868 --> 06:41:49,320 bigger team or more of a smaller team 6558 06:41:52,310 --> 06:41:50,878 somewhere in the middle uh for our 6559 06:41:53,628 --> 06:41:52,320 school we're kind of big but maybe not 6560 06:41:56,270 --> 06:41:53,638 compared to some other schools out here 6561 06:41:58,490 --> 06:41:56,280 we typically roll with about 13 uh you 6562 06:42:00,288 --> 06:41:58,500 know individuals in our group we're able 6563 06:42:02,270 -->

we went from New 6597 06:43:13,010 --> 06:43:10,378 Jersey to Arizona we had Oregon and 6598 06:43:14,650 --> 06:43:13,020 Washington on now now a treat going down 6599 06:43:17,270 --> 06:43:14,660 to the southeast corner of the country 6600 06:43:18,890 --> 06:43:17,280 UCF University of Central Florida you 6601 06:43:20,810 --> 06:43:18,900 heard from them earlier today before 6602 06:43:23,448 --> 06:43:20,820 their launch let's talk to them about 6603 06:43:24,890 --> 06:43:23,458 how did the launch go how are you guys 6604 06:43:26,510 --> 06:43:24,900 feeling after flying the rocket today 6605 06:43:27,890 --> 06:43:26,520 we're feeling awesome man it's been a 6606 06:43:30,170 --> 06:43:27,900 year working on this project and we 6607 06:43:31,430 --> 06:43:30,180 finally made it to lunch then we uh we 6608 06:43:32,750 --> 06:43:31,440 had a lot of failures especially our 6609 06:43:34,368 --> 06:43:32,760 vehicle demonstration and payload 6610 06:43:36,048 --> 06:43:34,378 demonstration flight but we're here we 6611 06:43:37,910 --> 06:43:36,058 built we rebuilt our payload in one week 6612 06:43:39,590 --> 06:43:37,920 and we got to Lodge we recovered safely 6613 06:43:41,448 --> 06:43:39,600 and we're super proud of ourselves so 6614 06:43:43,010 --> 06:43:41,458 let's talk about the altitude and then I 6615 06:43:44,990 --> 06:43:43,020 want to talk about your payload did you 6616 06:43:46,910 --> 06:43:45,000 guys come close to your target altitude 6617 06:43:48,048 --> 06:43:46,920 and then how did your payload perform so 6618 06:43:49,730 --> 06:43:48,058 we were actually a little bit below our 6619 06:43:50,868 --> 06:43:49,740 Target at altitude we had to paint our 6620 06:43:51,830 --> 06:43:50,878 rocket last second we were able to 6621 06:43:53,448 --> 06:43:51,840 recover some of the distance we 6622 06:43:55,128 --> 06:43:53,458 originally lost our payload did 6623 06:43:56,330 --> 06:43:55,138 self-oriented but however we weren't 6624 06:43:58,430 --> 06:43:56,340 able to get the pictures we wanted just 6625 06:44:00,410 --> 06:43:58,440 the lead mechanism fell off however 6626 06:44:01,850 --> 06:44:00,420 again more than we expected and again 6627 06:44:03,350 --> 06:44:01,860 we're really proud of the results either 6628 06:44:04,910 --> 06:44:03,360 way so definitely it sounds like you 6629 06:44:06,590 --> 06:44:04,920 guys would classify this as a very 6630 06:44:08,390 --> 06:44:06,600 successful launch 6631 06:44:10,250 --> 06:44:08,400 definitely so what's going through your 6632 06:44:12,230 --> 06:44:10,260 mind you guys have launched the rocky 6633 06:44:14,330 --> 06:44:12,240 are you guys able to take a breath now 6634 06:44:15,770 --> 06:44:14,340 or or what's up next for you well 6635 06:44:17,868 --> 06:44:15,780 honestly so we're part of an orientation 6636 06:44:20,208 --> 06:44:17,878 called kxr we do various projects we do 6637 06:44:21,230 --> 06:44:20,218 hybrid ion liquid and salt propulsion so 6638 06:44:22,368 --> 06:44:21,240 these kids these kids are gonna keep 6639 06:44:23,810 --> 06:44:22,378 moving on they've been doing amazing 6640 06:44:24,830 --> 06:44:23,820 work and this is our actually most of 6641 06:44:26,570 --> 06:44:24,840 these kids it's their first year doing 6642 06:44:27,590 --> 06:44:26,580 rocketry and they're moving on to bigger 6643 06:44:28,910 --> 06:44:27,600 and better things and they're going to 6644 06:44:30,770 --> 06:44:28,920 keep going and keep working hard so I 6645 06:44:32,628 --> 06:44:30,780 know the managers and I will be working 6646 06:44:33,890 --> 06:44:32,638 on the plar document however these kids 6647 06:44:35,510 --> 06:44:33,900 will be continue doing the amazing stuff 6648 06:44:36,890 --> 06:44:35,520 they're doing already so what's been the 6649 06:44:38,330 --> 06:44:36,900 favorite part and I see a piece of 6650 06:44:39,530 --> 06:44:38,340 Hardware I've got to ask about that 6651 06:44:42,110 --> 06:44:39,540 what's been the favorite part in the 6652 06:44:44,150 --> 06:44:42,120 tell us tell us what we have here uh out 6653 06:44:45,708 --> 06:44:44,160 from your rocket so this is the payload 6654 06:44:47,868 --> 06:44:45,718 integrated launch log we lovingly call 6655 06:44:49,850 --> 06:44:47,878 it the pill it is a cylinder with a 6656 06:44:52,430 --> 06:44:49,860 self-orienting mechanism right here and 6657 06:44:54,048 --> 06:44:52,440 then what once was our lead elevator is 6658 06:44:55,310 --> 06:44:54,058 somewhere in here of our camera it spits 6659 06:44:58,510 --> 06:44:55,320 it out opens the hatch and stuff 6660 06:45:00,650 --> 06:44:58,520 warrants them so if you guys had fun 6661 06:45:02,510 --> 06:45:00,660 it's stressful but it's been fun 6662 06:45:03,770 --> 06:45:02,520 definitely worthwhile that's excellent 6663 06:45:06,410 --> 06:45:03,780 anybody back home you want to give a 6664 06:45:07,970 --> 06:45:06,420 shout out to uh

6766 07:04:18,048 --> 07:04:16,260 candy cane inspired it's got cads which 6767 07:04:22,670 --> 07:04:18,058 is an acronym for the team members names 6768 07:04:26,570 --> 07:04:22,680 it's flying on a Arrow C the Aerotech 6769 07:04:29,510 --> 07:04:26,580 k1050 it should go 5100 feet 6770 07:04:31,850 --> 07:04:29,520 on pad number 10 we have a clear sky we 6771 07:04:37,740 --> 07:04:31,860 have a clear range we're gonna go in 6772 07:04:42,708 --> 07:04:37,750 five four three two one ignition 6773 07:04:47,448 --> 07:04:45,530 so this rocket has candy cane inspired 6774 07:04:49,850 --> 07:04:47,458 paint job using yellow and blue scrape 6775 07:04:51,590 --> 07:04:49,860 meat this has a linear actuator to push 6776 07:05:04,788 --> 07:04:51,600 nose come out which releases a camera 6777 07:05:04,798 --> 07:05:18,770 all right 6778 07:05:30,948 --> 07:05:20,628 okay the rock is probably a couple 6779 07:05:37,850 --> 07:05:34,190 okay we're about a thousand feet up 6780 07:05:43,968 --> 07:05:42,230 there shoots out all right this rocket 6781 07:05:45,708 --> 07:05:43,978 with this team is the first time that 6782 07:05:48,410 --> 07:05:45,718 they're out here has a scissor lift 6783 07:05:50,570 --> 07:05:48,420 mechanism with a pendulum and gravity 6784 07:05:52,670 --> 07:05:50,580 they painted it like the candy cane 6785 07:05:55,490 --> 07:05:52,680 following their spirals 6786 07:05:57,830 --> 07:05:55,500 and then they also did 3D paint or 3D 6787 07:06:01,788 --> 07:05:57,840 prints the inside parts that also match 6788 07:06:05,090 --> 07:06:01,798 the school colors so the original team 6789 07:06:06,948 --> 07:06:05,100 was four members the team worked from 6790 07:06:08,868 --> 07:06:06,958 scratch and they had no history to work 6791 07:06:11,628 --> 07:06:08,878 from so pretty remarkable they got that 6792 07:06:13,850 --> 07:06:11,638 all together as a team looks to be like 6793 07:06:16,610 --> 07:06:13,860 a good flight

word up learned a new word 6967 07:15:47,868 --> 07:15:45,718 this week for their subscale flight they 6968 07:15:50,390 --> 07:15:47,878 said it had to have a funeral they had a 6969 07:15:52,548 --> 07:15:50,400 funeral for their subscale flight it may 6970 07:15:55,670 --> 07:15:52,558 have dug its own grave 6971 07:15:58,910 --> 07:15:55,680 so last year the uh oh and then last 6972

completed all of our Rockets 7075 07:22:55,788 --> 07:22:53,878 behind us the crowds went in and out but 7076 07:22:56,810 --> 07:22:55,798 we do get a talk with the team that I've 7077 07:22:58,070 --> 07:22:56,820 been fortunate enough to get to know 7078 07:22:59,810 --> 07:22:58,080 over the years University of 7079 07:23:02,330 --> 07:22:59,820 Massachusetts Amherst so y'all tell us 7080 07:23:04,010 --> 07:23:02,340 how your launch went today uh it went 7081 07:23:05,090 --> 07:23:04,020 quite well we had some troubles uh 7082 07:23:07,190 --> 07:23:05,100 throughout this year with some of our 7083 07:23:09,230 --> 07:23:07,200 recovery stuff but that all worked 7084 07:23:11,750 --> 07:23:09,240 perfectly today and our apogee was 7085 07:23:13,490 --> 07:23:11,760 within 51 feet of our Target apogee so 7086 07:23:14,930 --> 07:23:13,500 we're quite pleased with that 51 feet 7087 07:23:17,270 --> 07:23:14,940 that's really impressive now you talked 7088 07:23:19,010 --> 07:23:17,280 about kind of getting the road here and 7089 07:23:20,570 --> 07:23:19,020 well really the road getting here 7090 07:23:22,128 --> 07:23:20,580 involves you guys picking up some 7091 07:23:24,230 --> 07:23:22,138 important pieces of Hardware didn't it 7092 07:23:25,910 --> 07:23:24,240 yeah that's right so about two weeks ago 7093 07:23:28,070 --> 07:23:25,920 we had to do a launch down in Maryland 7094 07:23:29,930 --> 07:23:28,080 so it was already quite a hike for 7095 07:23:32,030 --> 07:23:29,940 Massachusetts unfortunately the rocket 7096 07:23:33,708 --> 07:23:32,040 got stuck in a tree and we weren't able 7097 07:23:35,810 --> 07:23:33,718 to recover it on the day of launch so 7098 07:23:37,368 --> 07:23:35,820 actually we picked up the rocket on our 7099 07:23:39,230 --> 07:23:37,378 drive down to Alabama from Massachusetts 7100 07:23:41,090 --> 07:23:39,240 hitting that pit stop along the way to 7101 07:23:43,010 --> 07:23:41,100 finally pick up our rocket well and what 7102 07:23:45,468 --> 07:23:43,020 a beautiful rock it is now you guys have 7103 07:23:48,170 --> 07:23:45,478 any fun Traditions that you do uh 7104 07:23:50,628 --> 07:23:48,180 beforehand uh we definitely do this is a 7105 07:23:53,208 --> 07:23:50,638 story love to tell so about four years 7106 07:23:55,190 --> 07:23:53,218 ago we were heading up to our launch 7107 07:23:56,628 --> 07:23:55,200 site in Northern Vermont and one of the 7108 07:23:59,090 --> 07:23:56,638 teams accidentally crossed across the 7109 07:24:00,830 --> 07:23:59,100 border into Canada and they checked the 7110 07:24:02,930 --> 07:24:00,840 car for anything that they might need to 7111 07:24:04,968 --> 07:24:02,940 confiscate left the entire rocket and 7112 07:24:06,948 --> 07:24:04,978 all the black powder charges the motor 7113 07:24:08,990 --> 07:24:06,958 the only thing they took from us was one 7114 07:24:10,850 --> 07:24:09,000 Clementine so now for good luck before 7115 07:24:13,250 --> 07:24:10,860 each launch we eat Clementines and today 7116 07:24:14,628 --> 07:24:13,260 it worked that's awesome I love the way 7117 07:24:16,610 --> 07:24:14,638 Traditions come together and certainly 7118 07:24:18,048 --> 07:24:16,620 that's one of my favorite stories uh 7119 07:24:19,548 --> 07:24:18,058 anybody back home you want to give a 7120 07:24:21,708

at a normal launch these teams 7156 07:25:37,788 --> 07:25:35,340 worked really really hard for nine 7157 07:25:39,708 --> 07:25:37,798 months they designed these Rockets they 7158 07:25:42,530 --> 07:25:39,718 chose their altitudes in October they 7159 07:25:43,910 --> 07:25:42,540 chose their Motors in January they built 7160 07:25:45,288 --> 07:25:43,920 the rockets in February so they did all 7161 07:25:46,368 --> 07:25:45,298 that they had to tell us how high it was 7162 07:25:48,110 --> 07:25:46,378 going to go before they ever built it 7163 07:25:50,510 --> 07:25:48,120 and flew it and they went through design 7164 07:25:52,070 --> 07:25:50,520 reviews with our NASA Engineers uh 7165 07:25:56,390 --> 07:25:52,080 picking them apart you know all year 7166 07:25:57,830 --> 07:25:56,400 long so it's just so much fun to see the 7167 07:25:59,690 --> 07:25:57,840 end of the year to have them come to 7168 07:26:01,070 --> 07:25:59,700 Huntsville and to launch these Rockets 7169 07:26:03,830 --> 07:26:01,080 with us 7170 07:26:06,170 --> 07:26:03,840 um and we get to watch just the teams 7171 07:26:08,570 --> 07:26:06,180 have such a great experience we're 7172 07:26:10,490 --> 07:26:08,580 really hoping that some of the students 7173 07:26:13,548 --> 07:26:10,500 out there might do student launch in the 7174 07:26:15,468 --> 07:26:13,558 future so I did want to mention that if 7175 07:26:16,548 --> 07:26:15,478 you are a high school first thing you 7176 07:26:17,628 --> 07:26:16,558 want to do for high school or middle 7177 07:26:20,030 --> 07:26:17,638 school if you want to join student 7178 07:26:21,948 --> 07:26:20,040 launch is do the American rocketry 7179 07:26:24,048 --> 07:26:21,958 challenge or rockets for schools there's 7180 07:26:26,330 --> 07:26:24,058 a qualification process and you can 7181 07:26:28,968 --> 07:26:26,340 potentially end up in student launch but 7182 07:26:32,570 --> 07:26:28,978 for universities and colleges any team 7183 07:26:34,250 --> 07:26:32,580 can apply any U.S team can apply we take 7184 07:26:36,468 --> 07:26:34,260 proposals starting in the middle of 7185 07:26:38,868 --> 07:26:36,478 August so we're really looking forward 7186 07:26:40,310 --> 07:26:38,878 to next year since we got to see it's so 7187 07:26:42,170 --> 07:26:40,320 much fun once you come out here and you 7188
