Nick Anderson, team leader of the Sunset Rocketry Club, located at Sunset High School Club in Portland, OR, writes that the club "is nearing completion of their third rocket, SRC III. The rocket is constructed with composite techniques ranging from carbon fiber, nomex and fiberglass. Use of these high tech composite materials let SRC create a lightweight, super strong rocket that is incredibly light in weight. Testing of SRC III should start soon, altitudes of up to 6000 ft are expected. SRC III is designed to carry 2 eggs and an electronic altimeter to extacly 1500 ft. This will be SRC's entry into the Team America Rocketry Challenge. More info on SRC III and other rockets can be viewed at their website."
