Hi Rocketry Forum!
I am a mechanical engineering student at Colorado School of Mines. I was very into model rocketry from a young age and was in the NASA Houston Rocket Club and NAR Level 1 certified. I am now finally getting back into it after a 7+ year hiatus. I've ordered a Mariah 38 rocket and plan on building it this summer.
I'm VP of a club on campus, 'Blaster Hackers' (building random electronics and physics projects), and I want to get some more people involved in rocketry. I think the best way to do that is lead by example! I am thinking about building my own altimeter, gps tracker, and launch tower with their help, but I don't really have much experience with rocketry electronics.
I realize now that I should probably join a local rocket club around the Denver area that can provide FAA clearance and launch capabilities. Any local Colorado folks out there that can give me some guidance?
Look forward getting back into the rocketry community!.
