“Rapid and Complete Reusability ” of Rockets Won’t Be Enough

The rocket reusability race will come to a halt unless it considers integration time. For years, we have heard companies talk about reducing the turnaround time of reusable rocket stages, but only recently has that conversation evolved to turnaround times on the order of days. However, a daily turnaround seems…

We are going to space!

In late Fall, we will be launching a payload into space. For FREE!!! Thanks to Blue Origin. STAC recently won a competition where the winner would receive a free launch on Blue Origin’s New Shepard space craft. The competition is sponsored by Dent:Space, a conference held last September in SF. The two Co-founders of Dent (dentthefuture.com), Jason and Steve, flew two of our members out to make the big announcement at the Dent Sun Valley, Idaho conference.

Team Dynamic

Do what is hard, not what is easy! When forming a team in a new organization it is easy to segment and compartmentalize a person to a certain job. Unfortunately this can lead to many great people not being able to speak their great innovative ideas! That is why at STAC we make it our mission to allow people to foster in an area they strive in, but also take part in any/every part of the STAC organization! This creates a healthy team dynamic and creates a limitless organization.

Turning Design into Prototype

When building a product, piece of hardware, or space tech it is always easy to get stuck in the planning/design phase. So it is important to take your initial designs and make something quick, easy, and fast to determine what needs to be improved. Today we turned our first designs into a prototype and determined that we will need to rethink our arrangement of parts inside our first Microgravity Experiment.
