CyLaunch Update

May 2, 2022 by bcstitz

CyLaunch Update!

CyLaunch placed 2nd in the altitude challenge–the best our school has done in the history of this project! The final altitude reached 5,555 feet, only 55 feet above their target. NASA informed this team that in some years, no school was within 100 feet of their target, meaning the 55 feet difference was quite an achievement for the team and Iowa State University! Moving forward, CyLaunch will complete its final document, the Post Launch Assessment Review, and send it to NASA while waiting for the final scoring and awards in June.

CyLaunch is also preparing for the competition next year and looking for anyone who is interested who is knowledgeable in rocketry!

CyLaunch Funding Update!

April 6, 2022 by bcstitz

CyLaunch Fundraiser Update!
CyLaunch is happy to report that on April 2nd, successful tests of the launch vehicle and payload were performed in North Branch, Minnesota, under the supervision of team mentor Gary Stroick. This launch functioned as both the payload demonstration and the vehicle demonstration re-flight since the original vehicle demonstration flight (February 27th) warranted a re-flight. The vehicle flew a near-straight path to ~5,550 feet, just shy of the simulated 5,600 feet calculated the previous day.
The payload performed as designed, sending a signal to the ground station after landing. The ground station, a laptop with a HAM radio board plugged in via USB, received the proper grid square coordinates the rocket landed in. Hats off to the payload team! Tonight, CyLaunch will submit the Flight Readiness Review Addendum, a short document explaining launch and payload details. The team expects to be admitted to the competition in Huntsville, AL.
Lastly, the team scored a 70.45% on the Flight Readiness Review package, the highest achieved by CyLaunch this school year. Although the scores of other teams have not yet been made available, it is believed this is above average based on reported averages for CDR & PDR. This is a huge accomplishment from a team that has not participated in the competition for several years.
We are extremely proud of our team and are hoping to continue reaching this milestones!
