GU Rocketry: Sub-Scale Launch 1 - Proof of Concept

Our team launched the first subscale this weekend in Virginia! We demonstrated air pressure/elevation-controlled deployment of separate parachutes using our sub-scale model. Now we move onward to the larger design as we prepare to compete in Huntsville, AL. Big thanks to team members Marie Beasley, Avery Pelle, Christian Stiker, William Heine, Cole Kirby, James Heaney, and Josh Klugman for making it all the way out to VA!

Team lead,
Eric DeShields
