Boston University Rocket Propulsion Group

[Budgie]

This is a shameless self-advertisement, but what the hell. We've been around for a while and I wanted to share our project with my favourite forums.

I'm a Boston University student and since the beginning of the year have been part of the school's Rocket Propulsion Group. We specialise in hybrid rockets and have built a 30-ft tall rocket, a testing hybrid to practice working with thrust vectoring technologies, and all the ground support electronics, hardware and software to ensure our launch is the safest it can be. We aim to be the first amateur, college-student group to get to space, and with a hybrid rocket no less. Our team has some incredible people on it and their work really deserves to be mentioned. So please, check out our website and look around. I'll hang around this thread to answer any questions I can.

Enjoy our site at your leisure!

Kudos! I'm with the Portland State Aerospace Society, we're all excited to see Starscraper fly. You guys are doing some awesome stuff!

Sweet rocket! Remember to launch a kerbal doll to space while you are at it!

[Budgie]

Heh, maybe! I'm not entirely sure what kind of payload we'll be carrying when we fly. And thanks for the encouragement, architeuthis!

Cool.

Can you add boosters? (I mean, to increase the thrust at takeoff so as to allow upper stages.........)

Nice rocket, your acronym is quite funny as well.
