PSU Engineering Building, 1930 SW 4th Avenue

The Portland State Aerospace Society (PSAS for short) is a student-led aerospace engineering group at Portland State University. We build ultra-low-cost, open source rockets, liquid-fuel rocket engines, satellites, and satellite ground stations.

Come on down for our annual open house, where you can see our rockets, rocket engines, and duplicates of Oregon's first and second satellites (our second satellite is in orbit around the Earth right now!). You can also see bits of our 3rd satellite that's going to space in the next year.

Be able to touch real space hardware, and talk with geeky engineers and non-geeky folk, too!

Join us for snacks and aerospace fun! Good for all ages.

The event is free, but please register on Eventbrite so we know you're coming!

5-8pm:

Join us for an open house of all of our open source technology, including:

Our next rocket, LV3.1
Prototype parts of our next generation rocket, LV4
Our "mini" liqud fuel engine test stand
OreSat0.5, our next satellite to be launched in T-3 months!

Students will show off their cool projects while you nosh on delicious snacks.

Join us in "the rocket room", located in the PSU Engineering Building at 1930 SW 4th Avenue. Greeters will be at the front door!

8pm-10pm:

After our open house, we'll serve up popcorn and watch the 2013 sci-fi movie "Gravity" to celebrate "Yuri's Night", the global celebration held every April 12th celebrating the first person in space, Yuri Gagarin, who orbited the earth on April 12th, 1963.

Come for the popcorn, stay for the catcalling at the movie's bad space science and poor systems engineering.
