The Gorge Rocket Club is still active.

I have been busy mentoring the University of Portland Shiley School of Engineering team for the NASA Student Launch Challenge and helping George Fox University for The Spaceport America Cup that is coming up quickly.

The Oregon Rocketry Club OROC has been very supportive with the teams having access to their field, in order to get the subscale and full scale launches off successfully and juggling the weather conditions.

Jordan Slavish from Yamhill High-school has also been a great help with getting a successful launch and recovery for The University of Portland Shiley School of Engineering on their first full scale launch.

It does truly take a village to help get these projects completed.

Without everyone’s support, this could not have been achieved.
