UCI Rocket Project subteam updates for Feb 14 – Feb 21
Lots of progress as VTF quickly approaches! See what we’ve done this past week!
Avionics Subteam
Update By: Brennden LaGreek
Launch Vehicles Subteam
Update By: Michael Ross
The Launch Vehicles team has continued to assemble what they can for the Vertical Assembly as they wait for more parts to come in to hopefully begin testing in the coming weeks. Fins has also continued their research, preparing for another design review.
Propulsion Subteam
Update By: Thomas Westenhofer
The kind folks at Orange Coast College have offered to reweld the tank that burst from last week’s test. Props has continued cleaning and assembling, while some others have continued researching G-10 fabrication. A big milestone has also been reached! Together with the Avionics team, Props conducted a cold flow test. This will be the first of many tests leading up to VTF to check for perfectly functioning plumbing.
