Year Three

Greetings to all those who have stumbled across this blog.

In case you do not know, this is the official blog of the St. Andrew's Academy Rocketry Club. Here we post information regarding the Team America Rocketry Competition, notices to team members, and updates regarding our progress and our launches.

As Captain of this years team, I will be working as best as I can to make sure that this blog stays as up to date as possible.

It is my pleasure to announce that today we had our maiden flight of this year's rocket, and flew to a very successful 941 feet with no damage whatsoever. The goal for this year is to launch two eggs to 750 feet within a 45 second time frame. Our second flight today brought us to 783 feet and 36 seconds after a weight increase of about 58 grams. We will spend the next week or two re-evaluating and brain storming and will launch again soon.

Your ever-hopeful messenger of good news,

-Capt. J. Salvatore
