LET'S GO CANADA!!!
Space Concordia is live with the first space shot from Canada in the last 25 years!!!
YouTube
128 km apogee planned, 21 minute flight time, launch at 5 AM EDT.
Weather is currently green!
Currently shouting out all the sponsors for the project. I'm thrilled with how commercial folks have partnered with the university. The Indigenous partnership is amazing too.
Ad astra Starsailor!!!! 🇨🇦
Kerosene and helium have been loaded - started around 10 pm EDT.
Liquid oxygen load is underway.
"For a liquid rocket engine you need to test it, then you need to test it, then you need to test it again"
It's expected the rocket will be off the rail in 3 seconds, 5:1 thrust ratio
The rocket contains approx 450kg Liquid Oxygen and Kerosene at launch and is 12 feet tall.
Incredible vehicle designed by a student program.
T-0 slightly delayed - Space Concordia
T-0 pushed back 15 minutes
The fuel is Jet-A gasoline, oxidizer is Liquid Oxygen. Not RP1. My mistake!
700 students have contributed to this project.
Starsailor Launch - To Space and Beyond
Stream crew asked to evacuate - clock set back to T-10 - sounding pretty firm outside of vehicle anomalies!
Let's go Concordia!! 🇨🇦
T-5!!! AD ASTRA CONCORDIA!!! 🇨🇦
LAUNCH!!! Canada's first space shot in 25 years!!!!!
Congratulations Concordia!!!!!!!!!
CONGRATULATIONS CONCORDIA!!!! YOU DID IT!!!!!
Canada is back in the space race!!!
The vehicle may have separated early, but data is still forthcoming.
This is still huge! A vehicle completely Canadian, including the engine, making a space shot, this hasn't been done in 25 years. Congratulations to Concordia for an incredible launch.
Y'all should be so, so proud. Canada is proud! 🇨🇦
hearing that it may have been POGO oscillation that was a problem - but I'm looking forward to hearing what Space Concordia releases in a post-mortem.
Incredible work. Incredible launch. They all should be so, so proud. I'm beaming this morning!
jlin@chad That was one of the coolest things ever! It was so fast and then they all had a hug fest. Feels good to be Canadian!
@jlin they all should be SO proud. This is a massive achievement. It would have been easier to use solid fuel, nah, they went all out and designed a liquid fuel vehicle.
Incredible nuts for a student lead progam.
We have our best and brightest here, we need to encourage them to STAY here.
@chad Hear Hear! next up is next week with Launch Canada window - not as high, but still student teams from all over the country trying to launch from Timmins Ont!
@jlin no way! I'm just dipping my toes into rocketry with a couple of others from Edmonton and we were excited to see that the Canadian Association of Rocketry is based in Edmonton! 🚀
@chad awesome! lots of stuff happening in this sector all over the country!! I found out that there's a good amount of satellite operation folks at the amateur groundstation based in Winnipeg with the radio club there! It's the whole chain. get launch tech ready, and there's people all over Canada who can build the satellites and run ops/payload/comms for the uplink/downlinks once we get up there!

hiphopheaven@chad time for reindustralization
@hiphopheaven lol what?
This was a student program and you think industry is going to advance this program? Give your head a genuine and respectful fucking shake.
@chad i am just saying is that what we should do to stop american and chinese influence on us and for the good of people
@hiphopheaven that's very different from your claims of "redindustrialization".
@chad you are just agressive an rude , i didn't made a single claim. I just said that we should start reindudtralize that's a statement not a claim
@hiphopheaven figure it out dude. We have a premier that wants to separate Alberta from Canada and you want to discuss “reindustrialization”?
Give your head a genuine and deliberate shake.
dansup@chad is that big ben? haha
