Fwd: Undergraduate Research Spring Mini Grants; New URECA! deadline Mini Grants

[James Lent]

This is something we need to go for. I'm pretty sure its an individual thing, but whatever. What we need is some sort of thing to actually be researching. Any ideas?

I was thinking, (because tube fins are fun) that we could do something along the lines of measuring how the length of a tube fin effects the drag coefficient of it. For $500 we could get a shit ton (official unit of measurement) of motors, as well as some really nice electronics that are way overpowered for the purpose, but could be used in other rockets too. This is a subject nobody to my knowledge has ever studied.
