NTNU space & rocketry

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.

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.

NTNU Space and Rocketry are happy to have sponsoring for the upcoming sounding rocket project, E-1J. Both Asbjørn Krogstad Enterprises and Elektro-Isola has shown their interest in our project. Please visit our sponsor’s website for more information on them.

The NTNU Space and Rocketry Administration calls for a meeting concerning the upcoming project. The meeting will be held in Realfagsbygget on Wednesday the 9th of January, 2008.
