Hey all, another update post here!

A few days ago, VICE/Motherboard released a video covering BPS.space. It turned out really well, and is worth a watch if you haven't seen it yet: https://youtu.be/xvtzKox3QYg 

Related to that, just want to give a warm welcome to all the new folks who have joined the BPS.space Patreon here. Your support means a whole lot to me, and if you have ideas or thoughts on the program, I'm always happy to chat rockets!

On the same day, I also made Landing Model Rockets Episode 3 public! Most of you had seen it by that point through the early Patreon access, but it's probably worth a mention anyway: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKgXdEAlgSw&index=4&list=PLyV774-3p8348Fl5V6ciIBh0ZA446q93I Episode 4 is in work now, which will cover the schematic and wiring for the computers!

I also had a friend in town last week to do some non-Motherboard filming for a longer form video. No estimate on release date for that, but we got some cool testing done while he was here. Seen above is a static fire of the Echo vehicle. There's almost no scientific reason for this static fire, other than to get a bit more cool footage for the program. Sometimes it's fun to just burn motors ¯ \_(ツ)_/¯

In terms of what's coming up next, I'm spending another day or two on prepping a few Signal R2 kits for shipment, then it's back to Echo drop testing! Should have at least one drop test this week. I'd like to do a drop test recap video early next week covering the 3 or 4 that have happened since this test: https://youtu.be/8_hJ48LCXWs There haven't been significant enough improvements(or enough hours in the day!) for update videos covering each individual drop, so I figured I'd bunch them together!

The increased support on Patreon this week has some exciting consequences. There have been a few very generous offers by a few individuals to help with engineering, software, etc. Because of this, what I can tell you is that some of the rockets will get a bit bigger in 2019 ;)

Anyway, thanks for reading, thanks for your support, and please let me know if you have any questions!

Blue skies,

Joe

Exciting! Is releasing the software as open source or a variation thereof on your roadmap? I’d love to dig into the code as well, and see what I can do with the Signal coming my way. Thanks again!

I've been following your projects for about a year now (since the scout days) and am ashamed to only support your work now. Keep up the great work mate! I can't wait to see the progress of your projects!!

Yep! I won't release it all at once, but will instead build a whole new codebase to work with Blip and Blop for Landing Model Rockets. The whole series goal is to cater to those who are super experimental, since you cannot change the software running on the commercial version of Signal.

Thanks Tom, no worries! Glad to have you onboard, and keep up the great work with your BFS project! The compressed air engine is also SUPER cool, can't believe you got that working with FDM parts :)
