Orlando Lab closeout, Maryland Lab (real) beginning
By this weekend we should have all of the contents of the Orlando laboratory currently accounted for placed in the new lab in Maryland. This new facility will really be quite the thing. The walls are going up and the clean room and stores are in route.

In this facility we expect to do Eagle and several joint ventures on smaller satellites and whatever we can do to help Phase 3E that would require this kind of lab. The size is 6000 sq. feet. Our clean room, which required 8 large air handlers, was/will be driven into the facility by 24 foot trucks.
Happy New Year! Bob N4HY
Great pictures, but please tell me that we aren't planning to launch Eagle with a bucket of Mentos.

Ssssh! That's the secret space technology we're sharing with UMES!

Why? I think it was a great idea. The party at Lou's house was a blast and just what we needed.

Actually it reminds me of the toy rocket that I dreamed of and got for Christmas when I was about 6 or 7 years old. Pump it up with water and air and push the button. Worked pretty well until I put a little too much air in it... Little did I know then that some 44 years later I'd be talking to aliens in outer space and to other Earthlings half way around the planet through the wonderous little boxes that toy represented, and that you guys make possible. Keep up the good work!
Greg.
p.s. just what is the specific impulse of a Mentos rocket?
