Both motor casings and all 12 casting tubes have been shipped to Rick Maschek.
- "Friends of Amateur Rocketry", aka FAR
( http://far.pyroinnovations.com/ ) has been added to our donor page for their generous on-going support of SS2S by allowing us to use their test facilities in the Mojave Desert.

The FAR test site is where we have test fired our MiniSShot motors. We have since been given permission to use their new LHTS (Large Horizontal Test Stand)for our future projects:

- Dan Pollino (http://www.inverseengineering.com/) has kindly agreed to participate as a videographer at our next MiniSShot motor firing event, on July 25th. Dan has a unique talent for producing distinctive rocketry event videos.
- Chris King reports good progress with prepping the repaired radio recovery beacons for open-range testing, and good progress with the thermocouple sensor data acquisition system.
- Bronze donor Charlie Partin has made another contribution to SS2S. Thanks again, Charlie, for your financial support!
- Please note that due to a vacation break, a Weekly Activity Report will not be published for the next two weeks. The Report will next be published on July 6th and will cover the period June 15-July 5th.
