NTNU space and rocketry

To all students that partcipated on the course Space Technology I - dep. of Physics, autumn 2007 : You now have the chance to sign up for Space Technology II - a follow up -course that will take place at Andøya, one week duration in early June. Those of us who has participated here earlier strongly recommend you to grab this opportunity as you have it. Experiences like these don’t come up too often, and believe us - it is well worth the time! You will get your hands on some semi-powerful rocketry, excellent lectures and a scenic and beautiful taste of Andøya. Bathing in the northern sea followed by  a hot sauna will clear any rocket scientist’s mind and help on the evaluation of the post-flight data. Sign up!

Work on Telemetry is continuous down at Omega verksted these days. Telemetry Supervisor Espen can confirm that the electronics and programming are under control, the rocket will be playing some music as it goes up in the air, and the sensor equipment being of very high standards will make sure the rocket trajectory profile will come out very precise after recovery and integration. More detailed dokumentation on Telemetry and electronics will soon be available on our pages, as well as of the mechanical parts etc. Thursday at 18:00 hours, there will be a demonstration down at Omega V. We recommend you to pay a visit and can promise some real action in the workshop.
