NTNU space & rocketry

Internal consultant Arve, who is in charge of the PuP’s -mechanics- students’ rocket/cycle project this semester, will attend Frokost TV live at NRK early this Wednesday - there will bicycle riding with rocket boosters attached! Later on Wednesday there will be a rocket/bicycle race between the Mechanics students at NTNU Gløshaugen, starting up at 13:00 hrs - so if you’re in the neighbourhood, don’t miss it. Arve will also take part in a rocket demonstration in the famous and beloved Norwegian TV Show ‘Norge Rundt’, which is to be broadcasted at 19:30 this Friday. So push the NRK-button this week.

On Wednesday, Technical Manager, Tale, had the pleasure of joining the leader of Pyrogruppen Eksplosiv, Lars Kristian Schjønhaug, in the Studentradion studio at Samfundet for an informal interview on fireworks and rockets. During a hot talk on air, the Pyrogruppen Ekplosiv and NTNU Space and Rocketry got to discuss each others enthusiasm on things going up into the air. Allthough the diffrences between sounding rockets and fireworks are significant, we think of it as very positive to have established contact with this skilled pyrotechnical organisation. We are looking forward to joining them on their pyrotechnical show on feburary 16th! See http://www.eksplosiv.ntnu.no/ to read up and see some pictures and videos on their colorful activites.
