Sugar Shot To Space

(Guys do we have a thread for them already?)

Anyway, some news:

Sugar Shot to Space
NEWS:
*Richard has completed refurbishment of the DSS BPS nozzle and Midbulkhead, and completed the Forward Bulkhead assembly. A tool has been made to facilitate installation and removal of the Midbulkhead. Pictures posted in the "DoubleSShot BP - Static Test 2" album.

*Craig Peterson has performed additional battery testing (under vacuum and ambient conditions).

*Ben Brockert has completed CAD modeling of the DSS BPS motor. Picture postedin the "DoubleSShot BP - Static Test 2" album.

Our latest test of the DSS BPS motor resulted in a CATO.
We are in the process to determine the cause and corrective measures.

Loving all the facebook update btw

Thanks Rob,

We are preparing two short motor tests for next month. One will be for testing a more conventional propellant grain geometry and the other to test a replacement for our mid bulkhead delay grain. The machining of all the parts and casting of propellant should be complete in the next couple of weeks. I'll also update here after we do the tests.
