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.
