Brown Precision was honored to support the recent Spaceport American Cup.
Here’s a recap of the event:
It is my pleasure to tell you that our ARES II team successfully launched our rocket at Spaceport America just over a week ago. The rocket, flying on one of the largest motors at the competition, took to the skies and is estimated to have reached close to 25,000 ft AGL.
Due to issues with the trajectory, loss of GPS signal, and timing of the event, we were not able to recover the rocket while we were on site. The Spaceport America crew has ensured us that they will continue the search in our absence.
Despite these issues, our rocket drew a lot of attention and excitement from the judges and other teams at the competition. This rocket would not have been possible without your support. As we look toward the future, I hope your company continues to support our program as we strive to push boundaries and bring the University of Alabama to the forefront of collegiate rocketry.
