We're excited to announce that AmygdaLaunch is helping us ~launch~ our beer keg rocket! AmygdaLaunch is a modernized beverage marketing company who leverage proprietary algorithms to get those sweet imbibements to market faster and more effectively. Their support will do the same for our rocket project.

We need to catch up on some posts! Spent the past couple weeks fabricating KegRocket’s graphite & phenolic ablative nozzle ahead of Static Fire. This bad boy helps convert chemical energy into kinetic energy to lift the rocket. It’s a consumable!

With learnings from Recovery Test Flight 1, we decided to make some tweaks and fly the system again at the Sod Farm, this time on a scratch-built rocket powered by Bryce Chanes’s experimental Mehhh-thalox propellant. 📸: Patrick Naumann

Catch up posting for the storyline! This spring/summer we have been hard at work developing and testing the parachute recovery system for KegRocket. Back in April we had the opportunity to fly it at FAR on a solid booster supplied by our friends at RocketTalk. This provided some valuable data on where it worked and where it didn’t.

Last weekend we headed to FAR to launch KegRocket’s actual nose section recovery system on top of a spectacularly large solid rocket booster. This was to test the functionality of KegRockets parachute recovery system. A lot was learned and we’re glad we tested! Details to be covered in a future video.
Special thanks to the RocketTalk crew for providing propulsion and @jaymee_panian for capturing footage all day. Many other friends and family involved as well. #amygdalaunch
If we’re being honest, these fins are probably getting re-sized at some point as the rocket’s mass distribution solidifies. However, we felt we owed it to our supporters to have a nice place to put their stickers while we progress in the build. Thank you!

We kinda fell off the gram but our 2024 resolution is to be better about posting with some catch up! Here’s machining a funky manifold for the ox tank.

SEMA 2023 has wrapped up, but it was an honor to have an amazing replica of our airframe design featured at the @sendcutsend booth. It’s incredible where building will take you!

Had to feature one of the wildest builds we’ve been a part of… a liquid-fueled rocket made out of beer kegs (and laser cut parts 😎) Keep up the awesome work team @kegrocket 🚀🚀 Check out their progress on Instagram, YouTube, or Twitter 🙌 #sendcutsendinspace?! #rocketscience #aerospace #engineering #aerospaceengineering #beer #keg
Catch up post! We’ve been hard at work specifying and sourcing valves, actuators, and other fluid system components for the rocket. Most importantly, we have our cryogenic LOX valves. Stay tuned to see them installed. Special thanks to @cole.a.clark #amygdalaunch for helping make acquisition of these critical items possible.
