Portland's premier rocket club is scheduling a public rocket launch in the Oregon high desert.
This is the fourth launch of our third generation rocket. We expect to reach about 14,000 feet and to break the sound barrier! It's a 12 foot tall aluminum and fiberglass rocket that burns almost 15 pounds of fuel! If you've never seen a large(ish) rocket launch this could be your chance!
This will be very similar to our last launch in October, but with new flight computer electronics.

Brothers is a long way from anywhere, we come in on Saturday and camp. You're welcome to join us. For the less adventurous (there are no amenities, bring your own water and food) you can stay in Bend and drive in -- it's about 45 minutes -- on Sunday morning.
Directions to the launch site:

**NOTE** this is currently a tentative launch date. More information will be posed on our home page at http://psas.pdx.edu as we get closer to the date. |
