Hi rocket family! We are so excited to announce that we are officially our own organization as of this Fall! We will host our first fall GBM this Thursday 9/10 at 5:30pm via Zoom. Join us if you’re able to!

MEMBER MONDAY Our very own Engine & Structures Team member, Bryce Martin, is working hard at home! I’m working with a company in Northern California called Repkord that started this organization called OpShieldsUp [link below]. Makers with 3D printers are able to print face shield parts and then send those parts to this company where they take the parts, clean the parts and assemble the entire face shield to then send off to hospitals that need them. I would encourage a...nyone with an idle 3D printer to make use of this. It’s a very unique opportunity to help! . . .

MEMBER MONDAY!! One of our Engine team members, Danny Yos, is spending his time at home building himself a new camera! Pictured is his old camera and designs for the new one. Swipe to the end to see one of his pictures! . . . #photography #photos #solidworks #instagram #camera #engineering #engineer #rocket #rockets #avionics #engine #propulsion #aerodynamics #aerospace #recovery #quarantine #covid #structures #safety #college #csulb #space #blt #beachlaunchteam #beach2space @ California State University, Long Beach

We want to engage with our members and our community through social media! Here’s how: Every Monday (starting 4/13) we will be sharing photos of our members doing fun in-home activities! Every Wednesday (starting tonight!) we will post a Q&A on our Instagram stories! All stories will be saved in our highlights on our profile. Ask anything! ... Every Thursday at 5:30 PM we will be hosting our general body meetings on Instagram Live for 10-15 minutes! Here we will give team updates and answer the best questions from Wednesday’s Q&A! Every Saturday (starting 4/11) we will have a lead takeover on all our socials to talk about themselves, show great quarantine study tips, or go through their day-to-day schedule! Which one are you the most excited for? . . #rocket #rockets #college #collegerockets #friendsofamateurrocketry #avionics #aerodynamics #aerospace #aerospaceengineering #engineer #engine #propulsion #recovery #structure #quarantine #covid19 #csulb #csulbengineering #safety #engineering #blt #beachlaunchteam #beach2space @beachlaunchteam @csulb_college_of_engineering @csulongbeach @csulbasi See more

It's a day late but in honor of #internationaldayofwomeninscience we would like to hightlight 4 amazing female leaders of #csulbengineering aerospace clubs. Jessica Crisantes, president of @csulb.rmc , Fadwa Naji, @beachlaunchteam project manager, Monica Weiwel, @esracsulb and Diana Lopez @longbeach_aviation Chair. It's great to see such great female representation in engineering and there are a lot more women in engineering we'll be highlighting soon. @csulb_college_of_engineering @csulb #engineering #space #aerospaceengineering #rockets #rocketscience #stem #steminist #spacerace #stemeducation @ Cal State University Long Beach

Come out to meet us tomorrow and Thursday at Week of Welcome, from 11am-2pm! Also come to our first meeting this Thursday at 5:30pm in ET-15/16! We’re excited to welcome all our new members to our rocket family . . . . #csulb #csulbengineering #engineering #engineer #rocket #rocketscience #rockets #beach #longbeach #avionics #aerodynamics #engine #propulsion #structure #recovery @csulb_college_of_engineering @csulongbeach @ Long Beach, California

This past Sunday, we attempted to launch our Beach 1-C rocket, Heart Breaker. We had two great days of successful testing on the rail, but unfortunately encountered unexpected and unknown issues once B1-C left the launch rail. We are looking into the data and the causes of the crash and we will share once we know. Thank you to everyone who has followed Heart Breaker’s journey and supported our #PinkRocketProject !! . . . #rocket #rockets #blt #college #csulb #csulbengjneering #engineering #engineer #engine #propulsion #recovery #structures #aerodynamics #avionics #nasa # #space @csulb_college_of_engineering #csulbcoe #longbeach #beach #beach2space

Yesterday we attempted to launch Beach 1C, our #PinkRocketProject ! Unfortunately the vehicle was not able to hold pressure, so we did not launch, but this is rocketry!! Learning to accept some failures is a huge part of the job, and it teaches us how we can improve from these situations. We couldn’t do any of this without our amazing team members, advisors, sponsors, supporters, and our school. Hopefully we will launch Heart Breaker soon, stay tuned! . . . . #heartbreaker #rocket #rockets #beach #beachlaunchteam #blt #csulb #csulbengineering #engineer #engineering #avionics #aerodynamics #engine #recovery #propulsion #structures #safety #launch #sky #skies #instagram #women #womeninstem #stem @ Friends Of Amateur Rocketry (FAR) Launch Site

Happy National STEM day!! Here are our subsystems in action Engine with their thrust chamber! Structures team doing a layup! Recovery learning from the lead, Hunter!Aero lead, James, with our newly developed carbon fiber nose cone! Avionics soldering wires! And Propulsion, talking about our future tank designs! . . . Our pink rocket project is encouragement, celebration, and promotion of women and diversity in STEM!

In honor of National Hispanic Heritage Month, we’d like to highlight some of our amazing students! Our pink rocket is not only our way of encouraging women in STEM, but encouraging and promoting diversity in STEM. BLT knows that #spaceisforeveryone ! #PinkRocketProject #BLT #Beach2Space #B11SpaceChallenge

Thank you Abel for giving us a Propulsion Pressure Systems Safety Session today! New members got a chance to learn about Propulsion safety and safety on the launch pad. #PinkRocketProject #beach2space . . . . .... . #beach #space #longbeach #aerospace #aerospaceengineering #engineering #engineer #csulb #csulbengineering #engine #propulsion #rocket #rockets #college #instagram #weldernation #avionics #aerodynamics #b11spacechallenge @ Cal State University Long Beach See more
