Welcome rocketeers, enthusiast, fans & followers of the SDSU Rocket Project. We've decided to blog about our rocket project.
The SDSU Rocket Project is a group of students, faculty and advisers at San Diego State University who are building incredible liquid propellant rockets. The project began in 2003 and we are now building our 4th rocket. These rockets are pressure-fed vehicles which use kerosene and liquid oxygen as their propellants and are pressurized with helium gas. Our rocket motor for the time being is a surplus Atlas LR-101 vernier motor which produces 1000 lbs. of thrust. The motor is regeneratively cooled with the kerosene fuel, so theoretically it could be run indefinitely.
We're hoping to do a static test in the next month or two, so we'll keep you posted and document our progress via this blog. We're hoping this blog will serve as a tool to allow you to see what we're doing and post questions and comments. We may even solicit advice from you, our blog audience.
Welcome all!

hey, just wanted to say two thumbs up for what your team has accomplished so far, and looking forward to frequent updates on whats going on.
quite a few liquid rocket builders starting their blogs, i wonder if thats a new trend or .. any chance that SDSU team is going to the lunar lander challenge or something ? ;)
Kert,
We have no immediate plans to do a lunar lander, however, we have been approached by XPC to demonstrate a liquid fueled rocket flight. We would need to get a bunch of successful launches before something like that will happen. Our long term goal is to launch something to 100 miles.
Thanks for "tuning in". Please feel free to participate in the discussions.

PS: I will be publishing an update with photos of our last build party in the next day or two.
Bad color choice. Dark red on black backgroung very hard to read
Thanks Charles for the heads up. It looks fine on my LCD monitors... just trying to keep with the university colors of red & black. I'm hoping to post tonight some details of our latest rocket system.... especially our new "soft-start" dome dump pressurization system, so I'll change the color scheme then.
