Can't find any active links to details about this Cal Poly Pomona NASA USLI project. Anyone else with any info on it?:
There's another thread here about intentionally draggy designs for small field and impressive low altitude propellant burners that aren't just spools. Grid fin fin cans would be easy to 3D print after STL creation using an openSCAD script which would allow easy scaling and parameter changes by the user prior to generating the STL.I didn't see any team this year using static grid fins for boost.
Auburn had flip out grid fins for altitude targeting I believe.
For a challenge where they only need to go 1 mile, I can see why students are attracted to these draggy structures.
These I believe.

That's them!
I didn't talk to that team, do you know if they were for altitude targeting or some other purpose?
(other than mimicking SpaceX which pops up every now and then on college teams)
