Переглядів 3,1 тис.Рік тому
The USC Rocket Propulsion Lab was founded in 2005 with the goal of putting a student-designed-and-built rocket into space. After 15 years of tireless effort, the lab finally accomplished it's founding goal by launching Traveler IV to 339,800 ft, surpassing the Karman Line. In this commemorative video, we highlight the journey we have taken from our early days to present-day lab.

2021 Kiwi Campaign
Переглядів 1,7 тис.2 роки тому
In early December, USCRPL conducted 20 static fires of our 4 inch "Kiwi" motor. The name Kiwi comes from the flightless bird, and is given to this motor as it is designed for ground testing only. The goal of the campaign was to gather pressure and thrust data which we use to characterize our solid propellant formula. With a good characterization of our propellant, we can better simulate the per...

Unable to control roll,
I plan to go to Viterbi at USC, and this is just another reason I want to go. Fight On! ✌️
I think when you get to the point where you send it to space you're not a student anymore, you're a space rocket engineer. Edit; I can't believe how flat Earth isn't 😂 Well done guys n gals
Wait, was the launch really initiated by a dude placing wires simply on to a battery?? Lol
Can we get an update?
Soo, how much money was wasted on this project to achieve nothing new?
You don't have to worry about that since much of their funding comes from private corporate sponsors. This is a wonderful experience for the students to do hands on work that they can advertise to employers.
Your literally doing testing that later weapons manufacturers will use. Thanks for your contribution lol
Cool subject, boring video.
Fantastik accomplishments!
How do you make sure it comes back in the same area and not thousand miles away?
Make the ascent path as vertical as possible but tilted slightly due east
It can't land thousands of miles away if it only goes 62 miles high
@@starship2023 well starship only went to about 100 miles in altitude but was very close to orbital velocity, and the earth rotates eastward
Is there going to be a tracker 5?
That’s some homework project 👏👏
Congratulations everyone! It doesn't appear that fiberglass is the right material to do that with. Got a bit shredded it did. Still, I'm sure that will be in a museum for a long time to come.
can you please suppress the music. I'm not gonna watch your video wjth that horrible sound.
That was great to see. I especially enjoyed the guy who had an excuse to hug that girl (at about 3:40 into the video) that he had surely been thinking about. And the David Bowie song made it even more enjoyable to watch.
Lousy camera footage. Some kind of gunge all over the lens.
It's ice formed from moisture trapped in the body of the rpcket
PLEASE tell me you guys reached out to Homer Hickam!!!
this should have got WAY more views!
I dont believe in these results. Rocket simple doesnt have size and propellant mass to reach these heights and speeds. Plus very unstable start of rocket...
The Irony of the David Bowie song
I remember thinking about launching a model rocket to space when I was a in elementary school, and immediately dismissed the idea as ridiculous.... maybe 9yo me shouldn't have limited my imagination so much 😳
Wait! University students failed four times? After the technology to land a man on the moon and bring him home safely was half a century old? Wow!
The only good useful thing to come out of this would be the footage from the onboard cameras... Why would you put a fisheye'd lens potato covered with cardboard on it XD?
Fantastic! Well bloody done folks 😀
the earth is not flat but the USA are the most corrupt nation on earth so believe nothing from a country that has a government full of criminal intentions with no humanity and even murders their own citizens
Funny how this one shows nothing but flat back ground and the other guys has a super clear imagine showing curved background…. Fish eye lenses are automatically programmed to find any horizons with black background and curve it this is why you can see the earth curve go backwards in many many videos…..
How do you program a lens?
How did they recover the rocket of it went to space. Shouldn’t it have been sucked out into the vacuum of space 🤔
A vacuum doesn’t suck. The rocket did not have enough speed to escape Earth’s gravity: gravity keeps pulling it down.
@@Hobbes746 you’re a retard. There is no space or gravity. Your dumb enough to be brainwashed by nasa
Excellent video! Why not put together a "where are they now?" video just to show people that there is a future out there for smart people?
Did you turn on the switch….. Aaa….uh-oh
Congrats !! Please don't let evil government and the lust of money get in the way of Truth. No fisheye lens video, and work on some good quality multiple cameras together the non curvature, God's flat Earth. :-) For the love of God and humanity sake, let God be true and man a liar. Prove to the world the truth, there is a firmament !!
Anyone can measure Earth’s curvature using simple tools.
Congrats !! I hope Evil big brother Gov. allows the team to be honest about the firmament and actual non fisheye lense video, as to capture the true God's Flat Earth! For the love of God, and humanity, please don't let money corrupt the truth. Bless your team !!
Well done everybody!
All this and you couldn't keep the camera from frosting over? I call BS.
so what you are saying is that they faked it? because? earth is flat?
and everyone is out there to get you?
Well done!
Well done! This is in no way a negative comment, but why 90% sure ? Is it much harder to measure alitude at that height? Just technical aspect i hadnt concidered before
The apogee was determined to be 339,800 ft ± 16,500 ft (due to sensor uncertainty). The Karman Line starts at 328,084 ft, so 90% of the altitude normal distribution lies above the Karman Line. Hence the 90% confidence interval.
Harry Gregson-Williams!? I love that guy!
Which type of FUEL did you guys use ......did you guys use a sugar motor ???????
Ammonium-perchlorate composite propellant.
Instead of showing the rocket it just focused on the people… duh guess it’s not about the rocket afterall! How amusing!
I predict one of those kids will walk on mars on day.
Man, that carbon fiber was shredded…
*Has anyone ever home-built a rocket that leaves Earth for good?*
No. This rocket reached about 6200 km/h. You need 28000 km/h to go into orbit (so that the rocket "falls around the earth" all the time and stays in space). And you need 40000 km/h to even leave earth without being pulled back to earth. That is a tough challenge.
@@sebastiannolte1201 I hope someday that a person can build a fast rocket like that in their garage at home.
That song is from 1972, the last year humans walked on the moon. There are plenty of videos of weather balloons and rockets going only as far as the mesosphere, but students studying astrophysics would get a good challenge if the did what Nasa did. Calculate the trojectsry to rondevusi with the moon. Build the model rocket big enough to get into tli, ground based course correction capability even better to keep it on course and stabilize spinning on the transit. Equipped with battery powered or solar back up cameras, and it would only be one way. Let it fall to the moon, but it would be spectacular!
Crazy to think one man did all of this himself at home without wasting taxpayer money or grant money to do it and got VASTLY superior video, telemetry, and data from his mission. He fell about 30k feet short, and 0.8 mach short, but given it was a home project, I'll pay that.
I'm sceptical. Something tells me they cooked the numbers. I hope im wrong.
Any particular reason?
@@Splattervision-qh1sd seems to low tech and not enough fuel.
the that guy grab chick i though he going to steal and what kind of camera did you put plz dont tell me it is gopro garabage yo mama
I keep expecting ether the International space station to send back their mail and a box of milk duds or one of the Aurora Project Aircraft swoop in just to photo bomb your video 🤣 Great shot! Just to awesome for words to watch countless of days and set backs to the drawing board. That’s not failure, that’s sheer progress breaking new ground Setting new world records. Just imagine the achievements on the next shot named “Moon Kiss”🚀
2:41 The reason all those guys signed up for rocket club lol
Around, I dunno... 15 years ago, I built a high powered laser with parts I ordered online, 50 years prior to that doing so would have been completely impossible. Four years ago these people sent a a thing to space. In 50-100 years time, I hope people can just order parts online and cobble it together in their garage to do the same.
Take notice of the moon in the pic as it launched, then later in the vid in space......WAY COOL
Lol, students when they realize, they haven't build a SRBM ;-DD
