AerospaceNU’s Project Redshift was gearing up for a second hot-fire test our liquid rocket engine. The data acquisition electronics used for our first test during summer 2022 was made using a collection of unreliable Arduino breakout boards, could only read temperature from grounded …

Reefing paracutes is important for AerospaceNU’s projects. In our case, we’re designing circumferentially reefed parachutes that can be deployed initially as drogue parachutes to slow the rocket’s descent, and fully inflated closer to the ground to reduce drift due to wind. Reefing …
