FerrAS: Experimente starten mit Höhenforschungsrakete vom Weltraumbahnhof in Schweden
Studierende entsenden Experimente auf REXUS-Höhenforschungsrakete in Schwerelosigkeit. In wenigen Minuten nachweisen, dass Pumpsysteme, auf Ferrofluiden basierend, leistungsstärker & wartungsärmer als herkömmliche Raumfahrttechnologien. Pressemitteilung Uni Stuttgart.

Time for some cowboy modifications!
(Aka we get the Dremel/grinder out and tear that sucker up)

Ugh. I knew I was overworked, but I wasnt aware how much.
Other #SoundingRocket projects generally have a collection of part time professional engineers (electrical, mechanical, thermal, etc) and also have senior and junior grad students, a PI who's there 40% of the time, and a fleet of undergrads. This is normal for a rocket reflight. (10x easier than from scratch)
I have the normal professional engineers, me, a PI who's there 20% of the time, and 2 undergrads.
From scratch.

#GradStudentDaily

Hi folks! We're a novel type of EUV integral field #spectrograph launching on a #SoundingRocket from Poker Flat Research Range in March 2024!
We're part of a flare observation campaign with the Foxi 4 rocket
and the Hi-C sounding rocket.
We do #SolarPhysics and #Heliophysics #Research, as well as #AerospaceEngineering

Some more #Introduction
As a grad student, I'm helping to build the #SNIFSrocket, a #SoundingRocket payload which will study the #Sun.
A sounding rocket is a small (20 in diameter, 60 ft long) science rocket that launches, gets above the atmosphere for a few minutes to do #Science, and then comes back down.
We're hoping to study fast-moving events on the sun called #SolarSpicules, using high-energy Lyman-Alpha observations.

There have been a lot of new folks in Mastodon recently, so i figured I'd do another #introduction post.

I'm Artemis, an #AerospaceEngineering and #heliophysics #GradStudent at #CUBoulder in #Boulder CO. I'm helping to build a #Solar #SoundingRocket. I also love #backpacking #MagicTheGathering #MTG #MTGfinance and #DnD. I do a lot of arts and crafts, currently doing a lot of #MiniPainting. I like #running during the summer, and hope to try for a #marathon.
