The January 2006 MASA meeting was held on the 12th at
the Science Museum.
14 people attended the meeting.
MASA is planning to have a model rocket exhibit at
MarsCon, a local
Science Fiction convention during the weekend of March 3-5.
If you are interested in helping with the exhibit, please let a
club officer know.
NARCON is the weekend of March 10-12. Many MASA
members are planning to attend.
TARC was discussed - how mentors and teams are doing.
2006 MASA name badges were discussed. Design
submissions will remain open until January 20. Then, votes
will be collected and a design chosen.
The January 28 launch will be at the White Bear Lake field.
Mike is going to try to submit a Notification for this launch
just in case TARC teams are there with >1lb rockets. This
date also marks the 20th anniversary of the loss of Challenger
and her crew.
There will be no rocket exhibit at the Lego League
tournament this year.
Ted needs submissions for the March issue of the Planet
newsletter.
The meeting topics for the year were discussed. Arms
were twisted. See the Events
page for what we devised.
Show -n- Tell
Stuart Lenz brought a MicroMaxx size version of the old
Cherokee D. It'll be the next kit from MicroClassics.
Rick Vatsaas showed off his scratchbuilt 1/16 scale
SpaceShipOne (very cool!) and some scratchbuilt fiberglass
nosecones.
Buzz McDermott brought a pile of old Model Rocketry
magazines. He has accumulated many old rocket magazines.
If someone is looking for a specific article, Buzz is willing to
make photocopies.
