Highlights of recent developments on the MiniSShot Project
-------------------------------------------------------------
-Alberto has updated the Gallery page with recent images.
http://www.sugarshot.org/gallery/minisshot.html
- Hans has continued to make progress with the Chute Controller. A
hardware bug was discovered and fixed. Progress has been made with
regard to investigating the possibility of interfacing to the R-DAS
flight computer.
- Casting of the midbulkhead ablative turned out well (see pics in
Showcase Gallery). The next step will be machining the ablative to the
blueprint dimensions. Richard will perform this task within the next two
weeks.
- Sam Grado (PVCONLY.COM) has shipped 25 lbs. of KNO3 and a 100 lb.
barrel of sorbitol to Matt in support of the MiniSShot firings. Sam has
generously supplied these goods "at cost". Thanks again, Sam, for your
continued support of the SugarShot program...!
- Jimmy Yawn is working closely with Ed Mallory in support of a test
flight of an avionics package in Jimmy's SugarRush rocket at the next
NEFAR launch event.
---------------
The Sugar Shot Report will not be posted for the next 2 weeks, as
Richard will be on-vacation. The next report will be week 14 (March 30th).
