    Total eclipse coming, 8 April 2024!

    It was very interesting to contrast this total eclipse (low altitude, clouds) to the 2017 eclipse which we viewed from high altitude, low humidity, and no clouds in Wyoming. Very different!

    Total eclipse coming, 8 April 2024!

    Viewing was pretty good in Ft Worth but frightening with intermittent clouds. Anne put some of our photos up at https://sites.google.com/view/eclipse2024wtm/

    Very sad news. She will be missed.

    Sticky thread on common topics

    I'd prefer that we start a wiki-like thing to deal with common topics.

    AeroTech Open Thread

    Very exciting! I imagine it's another month or two past that for things get to to the point where they show up on a web page for sale? Are you going to do pre-orders?

    Tarc Cato

    Sorry, I’m confused. The motors are labeled as Estes? If so, then start an email dialog with them via the [email protected] address. And fill in a http://www.motorcato.org/ report as well! Sorry your rocket burned up but it was a pretty failure. 😹 I was the one helping you with the...

    Estes RTF 1/200 Space Shuttle advertisement arrives!

    Mine is supposed to arrive tomorrow so they appear to be in transit in the wild.

    Goddard A-3 Rocket

    I’d add Pegasus as the first privately developed space launcher. And the Congreve rockets since those are enshrined in the USA national anthem.

    Cool! But don’t abandon the graph paper! You’ll still need glue circuitry to make your Arduino interact with the world. But you might look at upgrading to https://getrocketbook.com/ for reusable graph paper that can be easily scanned.

ARISS https://www.ariss.org/ maintains the amateur radio facilities on the ISS and arranges for students at about 100 schools a year to talk with an astronaut/cosmonaut via amateur radio. So this is...

    Guess for new rockets in the Estes 2024 Catalog

    I looked at a couple of pages and didn’t see prices. But I didn’t go through every page of the physical one because I’d already done that with the soft copy. If you want to suggest a particular page I’ll look at it in detail.

    AeroTech Open Thread

    Any news on the iLaunch? And I’ve been thinking about the fact that it ties up your iPhone during the launch. I often want to photo or video the takeoff so I’d have to have somebody else do either launch control or photography on their phone. I guess I’m thinking it would be nice if a...
