That, and YJSP want to be the first university team to send a\u0026nbsp;rocket past the Karman line into space. YJSP has been working and\u0026nbsp;growing as an organization since early 2015 and although a long\u0026nbsp;and arduous design process lies ahead, major progress has been\u0026nbsp;and continues to be made. The team has designed and tested\u0026nbsp;homemade pyrotechnic separation hardware, subscale propellant\u0026nbsp;tanks, and a student designed and built filament winder. Now, our\u0026nbsp;propulsion team is working towards the new and ambitious goal of\u0026nbsp;hot-fire testing of our YJ-1 LOX\/Kerosene liquid bi-propellant\u0026nbsp;rocket engine. Along with this, our avionics team is preparing\u0026nbsp;for the flight of a 3-DOF controlled high-power launch vehicle to test avionics and control algorithms under realistic flight\u0026nbsp;conditions. All testing and development is geared towards\u0026nbsp;realizing our long term goal of a student built and run space\u0026nbsp;program with our K-1 launch vehicle, which the program hopes to\u0026nbsp;launch by 2020. The vehicle will carry a 10 kg student scientific\u0026nbsp;payload on a suborbital trajectory to an altitude of 120km where\u0026nbsp;microgravity and exo-atmospheric research can be performed. When\u0026nbsp;flown, K-1 will redefine academic access to space at the\u0026nbsp;university level.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EYJSP \u0026ndash; The Student Built Space Program\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"YJSP \u2013 The Student Built Space Program"}],"uid":"27469","created_gmt":"2017-11-27 18:22:29","changed_gmt":"2017-11-27 18:22:29","author":"Kristen Bailey","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2017-11-28T11:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2017-11-28T12:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2017-11-28T12:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2017-11-28 16:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2017-11-28 17:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2017-11-28 17:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"1182","name":"General"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"},{"id":"1791","name":"Student sponsored"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EEbere Lima\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:elima3@gatech.edu\u0022\u003Eelima3@gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
