Hey guys,
We have fewer action items than ever in our push towards flight, with only
one hot fire remaining on the schedule (April 19). We have a rather
compressed schedule coming up through the end of the year but we are in
great shape. Let's get this rocket in the air!
*Fuel Grain Casting*
As you can see from the calendar below (right click copy URL and paste into
browser to view full size), we need to make one fuel grain a day (and two
post hot fire) for the rest of the semester. We need everyone's help to do
this, so there is a sign up sheet in the link below for which days you can
come help on. We will make sure that every day has somebody who is pretty
experienced to make sure things go smoothly. So don't worry about being a
noob. It takes about 2 hours to make a casting jig and a segment.
We are going to be doing a training on how to make the fuel grains tomorrow
(Tuesday) night at 7pm in the lab.

*Hot Fire #2*
Is April 19. Dry run is April 17. We will be going for 80% duration burn,
or about 11 seconds.
*Everything else*
The action items sheet is in the link above on the second tab- we are
counting on everyone on it to be proactive and get everything ready for
launch. We can't micromanage everyone, so we are really relying on people's
initiative to step up and make an impact during the final push. Drew and I
will be here pretty much all the time from here on out, so come down
whenever you can.
Also, Kam is offering to buy pizza for everyone on Saturday since most
everyone will likely be in the lab working on stuff.
We are really close to doing something truly extraordinary, let's get
through the final stretch here and get a good burn on the test stand, the
rocket ready to fly, and get started on the Mk V space booster.
Best,
Armor
