From kelmann at ne.rr.com Fri Aug 3 11:32:36 2007 From: kelmann at ne.rr.com (Kelly Mann) Date: Fri Aug 3 11:32:44 2007 Subject: [SEDS-discuss] Pete Conrad Spirit of Innovation Award Message-ID: <000001c7d5fc$aa78d930$0402a8c0@SHADOW> Hello Everyone While I was looking online for things going on in the space industry I found a competition called the Pete Conrad Spirit of Innovation Award. It is a competition for high school students to design a concept that would benefit the space industry in the next 50 years. Our chapter has some people interested, including myself, and we have one idea right now. It is a turbofan/ramjet/scramjet/rocket hybrid engine. I can explain more about it if you want:-). I was wondering what any of you might have for ideas. And also I am looking for any information on ramjets, scramjets, and turbofans that I can find. And if any of you are wondering about the rocket we were working on, we will still work on it, but after we have submitted the concept for this competition. I won't be able to reply for a week because I will be camping, but afterwards I will be able to. Any input is greatly appreciated ; ). Thanks very much, Kelly Mann Keene SEDS -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
