Hi everyone! First, the very very simplified TLDR: Charlie Garcia and I are working on a new project called Absolution. It's a monopropellant liquid rocket - avionics and software by BPS, propulsion and mechanical design by CGS. The video here is a live stream, which will begin today at 5PM ET/ 2PM PT.

Our plan is to do private weekly reviews for Patrons so we can keep everyone in the loop! Each week, we'll walk through what our goals were, what we got done, and what's up next. For instance, this week I completed the flight computer design and PCB routing, so I'll be walking through the details there.

It's a very ambitious project. There are many things that could take longer or be more difficult than anticipated. For the time being, we'd like to keep things on the down low so we don't set expectations too high for a bit, so no leaks! :)

Anyway, we'll see you in a few few hours at the stream link above! If you can't make it, the video will remain up as unlisted.

Blue skies,

Joe

I have been reading Ignition!: An Informal History of Liquid Rocket Propellants, and so this is perfect timing!!!!

Charlie was faster in announcing it by a minute, so hopefully you will have no timing issues in the future 🦀

So exciting! This is the sort of project I would do if I had money and any actual knowledge haha It looks so fun! Good luck with this; I can't wait to watch it unfold :)

Timing issues of up to a minute on the vehicle will result in a much shorter project timeline than anticipated :)

Hype! I definitely got the feel from the last few videos using stock hobbyist solid propellant was starting to be a frusturating limiting factor. Looking forward to seeing one of these boiz with a consistent, reliable thrust

I thoroughly enjoy the fact that Barnard Propulsion Systems is not in charge of propulsion 😂. But seriously hell yeah guys!
