Open Source Rockets

Never been to an Ignite event, and still wondering what all the fuss is about? Check out this video from Ignite Portland 2!

Today’s amateur rockets are more than tubes of aluminum that explode into the sky. Sophisticated rockets incorporate advanced electronics, real-time software, and powerful communications equipment.

Why buy a hobby rocket when you can build a much cooler one from scratch? The Portland State Aerospace Society provides the blue prints, open source code, and schematics to build a rocket from the ground up.* Come learn how we make rocketry more open.
