Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the hackerspace Noisebridge, our ongoing mission to explore strange (yet economically priced) new ascent technologies; to seek out new parts and new partnerships; to boldly go where no non-government-or-massively-industrially-funded-group has gone before.

NBRL-000 First Foray Finding Floating Forms N/A OAK 2024-04-21 Tracy, CA 2024-04-21 Our first attempt to track down a Radiosonde weather balloon.

Check out the balloon's full journey over on SondeHub as we forgot to disable GPS reporting after we recovered it. 😅

Tracy,CA

Another thing that got forgotten was the fact that against all probability a sperm whale had suddenly been called into existence several miles above the surface of Tracy, California. Photos

Writeup

LUNAR-000 A Case Study on the Importance of Rocket Stability and Safe Range Operation N/A Brigantino Park, Hollister, CA 2024-06-22 Brigantino Park, Hollister, CA 2024-06-22 We were graciously invited to take part in LUNAR's monthly rocket launch by a pair of most excellent hackers over at Double Union (thanks Emma/Cynthia!!). Not only did they clue us into this awesome event they also provided easy to build rockets for us to launch! The day took a dramatic turn when a kid's rocket took a nosedive and started a (small) brush fire. Fortunately the fire department responded before it could escalate into a more serious issue.

tl;dr: 🚀🌱🔥🔥🔥😨🚒🚒🚒😅
