Chris Fenton prepares the avionics for Del Carbon.
Project Information
Del Carbon is USCRPL's demonstration flight vehicle.
It has flown three flights thus far, the highest to over 21,500 feet, and traveled at speeds up to Mach 1.4. It was designed primarily as a materials and avionics test platform, including development of new carbon fiber spar techniques and test flights of CanSat sensor systems.

Silver Spur is a high velocity test vehicle. Designed in early 2007 as a way to flight-test the solid rocket boosters featured on the Traveler series of vehicles, Silver Spur is based around a carbon fiber-cased solid propellant motor that should drive it to over 60,000 feet at Mach 3.

Silver Spur suffered a bit of a problem on its first flight attempt, but we think we've figured it out and are ready to test again -- stay tuned to the blog for updates.

Traveler I
Traveler I is a test vehicle for USCRPL's space flight program. Based on the same carbon airframe as Del Carbon, Traveler I is designed to fly with two 5000 lb-sec carbon-cased motors.
