This semester's budget was finalized today. Also, we ordered our fiberglass rocket body and other parts!
We ordered rocket parts today! The team is looking forward to starting to build the rocket in the near future.
You know what's cool? Rockets. You know what else? The fact that we are officially moving to be a Purdue supported EPICS project team.
Also, if you have any interest in donating to our endeavors, DM us! We'll be happy to work out a cool sponsorship package 😀
The numbers are ready. Purchases have been made. FAA call #2 is on the way. Big things are coming soon for the team.
The numbers are coming together and first purchases are happening! Much in store before year's end, including a call with the FAA (part 2).

@ieeerocketteam we need to see how small is small for these guys nitter.cf/gruss_sn/status/672824…
More small rocket interest. @AF_SMC is surveying industry on small rockets w/o government work and those not funded for full development.
Asking the important questions. nitter.cf/benjaminmerrel/status/…
We're delighted to announce that our FAA call went well! Planning to have our first subsystems test in May 2016...location details to come 😏

Follow @ieeerocketteam to learn about our efforts to design and build a system capable of achieving orbit!
Update: We have a phone conference with the FAA on Tuesday to discuss launch regulations. Wish us luck! #rocketon

We had a great interview today for an opportunity for some funding from Purdue! This would mean we're 1 step closer to initial build/test.
Where you think most of our efforts should be headed with space travel? Tell us!
