The Taser was powered by an Estes A8-3 motor and attained 189 feet and at apogee the parachute deployed and the rocket descended slowly to the ground and drifted to the Southwest where it landed on Kwina Road near Lummi HeadStart. Matteo can be seen discussing potential math problems with Mariya, one of his students and John Rombold, Gary, Seth \u00a0and\u00a0Brian (the cinematographer)\u00a0are comparing observations about\u00a0various physics and engineering issues related to rocket propelled vehicles.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">The Critical Design Report for our First Nations Launch is due this Friday. This is a refinement of the Preliminary Design Report that we submitted two weeks ago\u00a0that earned us a temporary (think multiple Olympic bobsled runs before earning the gold) 1<sup>st<\/sup> Place in the FNL competition. There is a bunch more submissions that get scored and contribute to the final total. The project\u2019s high point (pun intended) is on May 1, 2010 where six other Tribal Colleges launch their high powered rockets at the College of Menominee Nation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">\u00a0This week\u2019s launch is scheduled for Wednesday noonish to accommodate visiting students from the Muckleshoot area.
