@IamStevenT Good afternoon Mr. Tyler. We're trying to launch a rocket to 10'000 feet as a senior design project to test atmospheric air quality. You're a good guy, want to help fund our project? #dreamon

[CSU Ram Rocketry @RamRocketry]

We are currently setting up on th launch pad. Hopefully launching within the next hour! @Spaceport_NM #IREC

[CSU Ram Rocketry @RamRocketry]

We are planning on launching the Aries IV rocket tomorrow sometime tomorrow with a live stream. Stay tuned for updates! @Spaceport_NM #IREC

Full scale round 2 of our liquid motor, complete with more thrust! #IREC @Spaceport_NM @SoundingRocket

[CSU Ram Rocketry @RamRocketry]

First successful full scale static hot-fire test! We are well on our way to being ready for the IREC competition in @Spaceport_NM #noBrakes #IREC @CSUEngineering

[CSU Ram Rocketry @RamRocketry]

Revamped out liquid motor and got a much stronger burn. Now to optimize! #propulsion #nobrakes

[CSU Ram Rocketry @RamRocketry]

Fist successful static test fire! Thank you to @SwagelokDenver, @DATAQ_Inst, and @8020Inc for helping make it possible!

Also, a special thanks to Composite Envisions for the vacuum bagging supplies, and the CSU Civil Engineering Smash Lab for their testing equipment! We are looking forward to making our first Small-Scale Airframe for our early March launch. Stay tuned!

[CSU Ram Rocketry @RamRocketry]

Our Airframe team has been working on our first Vacuum Assisted Resin Infusion Fiberglass Composite Airframe! We constructed a few different stacking sequences and loaded them in compression to verify our computer simulations. Our final design withstood over 4500 lbs of force
