Still Working on the N-Prize

Our N-Prize.  project is progressing slowly but surely.  We are still working on two satellites, but each will be launched on a different rocket, as there are two different categories for the competition.  The first is a single shot non-reusable rocket, and the second category is all or partially reusable rocket.  The second type will contain the more complicated active satellite since it is more expensive to build and the budget constraints are easier to meet with parts of the rocket being reusable.  At present, our designs are still being worked on and we hope to begin construction of test rockets in the next 2-3 months.  After that process begins, we will be in the truly fun part of the project.  Videos will be posted to show our progress.

It has been a long time since we have posted, and we apologize for this.  We are currently restarting work on our N-Prize project after an extensive hiatus.  We will be working hard to complete the competition soon.  The design we have is being reworked to reduce weight and enhance the strength of the overall concept.  We have also relocated back to Washington state, and will be here permanently.  The basics of the rocket are the same, and we will be launching two satellites instead of just one.  Both of which will be separate and have different designs while still being below the cost cap.  We are currently working to ensure that we will meet all regulatory requirements and both local and federal laws while engaged in this endeavor.  Thank you all for your continued support.  Together we can win this competition!
