Do you think science is cool? Do you like #rocket launches? Do you want to watch OUR rocket go up on Friday the 18th at 1pm MDT?

Go follow @snifs-rocket.bsky.social for regular updates on the science and engineering leading up to the launch, as well as a video link.

Time for some cowboy modifications!

In the background: a big cylindrical tube known as a rocket skin. It sits on a steel cart frame and has black plastic hanging behind it
Foreground: a hand holding a compressed-air powered grinding tool. The inside rim of the skin shows marks of grinding 5 inches wideA close up of the inside of the skin. The grinding patch is noticably rough and the inside of the cylinder is full of metal shavings

Someone in the building took a #welding class recently, so look at our new #Trex lobby decoration!
#LASP also is celebrating its 75th anniversary so they made a bunch of little squishy buffalos.
This of course means there are bison climbing all over the dinosaur and several have been eaten. This changes daily.

Mars Orbiter Creates Stunning New Map Of The Red Planet

“The map reveals stunning geological features on Mars in three dimensions…
A new map of Mars shows the Red Planet in stunning detail, revealing a wealth of fascinating geological features as seen from orbit.
The high-resolution map could help scientists answer a number of pressing questions about Mars including how it came to be a dry, arid, and barren landscape despite once being abundant with liquid water.
The Martian map was created by a team of scientists led by New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Center for Space Science…
The map shows the Red Planet through the eyes of Hope's state-of-the-art onboard imaging system …”

@spacelizard ooh! My buddies who run the EVE sounding rocket at #LASP use ln2 to cool their detectors to -100 C. They've got a flyaway ln2 line on a giant claw arm that retracts right before the rocket launches! They used to just have it attached to a very long rope that they'd yank on before seconds before launch. They also had to maintenance it once while the rocket was primed. Took a scissor lift and tightened something on the ln2 line of a live rocket!!!
We're not allowed to do that anymore.
