About 15 years ago, the USC Rocket Propulsion Laboratory was established with the aim of sending the first student designed and built rocket to space. This means sending a rocket beyond what’s internationally recognized as the Kάrmάn line: the line where Earth’s atmosphere meets outer space, about 100 km or 330,000 feet from the surface of Earth. It wasn’t until last year that this was achieved by the team at the USC Rocket Propulsion Lab, and on today’s podcast, media lead Michael O’Neill and avionics lead Laura Potterat share everything they’ve experienced and learned as a part of the team. On today's episode, you'll learn:  How the work being done at USC Rocket Propulsion Lab could lead to a cheaper and simpler way of obtaining atmospheric data How space rockets are designed and function The challenge and importance of mitigating a high thrust profile at low altitudes, and increasing thrust profile at high altitudes  Visit uscrpl.com to learn more.

Undergraduate Students Reaching for the Stars and Sending Rockets to Space—Laura Potterat and Michael O’Neill—USC Rocket Propulsion Laboratory

The USC Rocket Propulsion Laboratory was founded in 2005 with the goal of putting an undergraduate student designed and built rocket into space—which is defined as being at least 100 km or about 330,000 feet above Earth’s surface. Just this past year, this goal was finally reached. On today’s episode, Michael O’Neill and Laura Potterat, media lead and avionics lead at the lab, respectively, share their experiences as members of the team who finally made this happen, the challenges they faced along the way, and what the accomplishment means for their future work. By tuning in, you'll discover:  How the work being done at USC Rocket Propulsion Lab could lead to a cheaper and simpler way of obtaining atmospheric data What a peek into the design and function of space rockets looks like  The challenge of characterizing the performance of the rocket, including its acceleration and position  Check out uscrpl.com to learn more.
