− | Olympus 2019 was the third SSI team to compete in the [[Intercollegiate Rocketry Engineering Competition]], succeeding [[IREC 2018]]. The rocket featured a compact avionics bay, a redesigned recovery system, a fiberglass airframe with a carbon fiber fin lay-up, and a protein crystallography payload. A liquid propulsion system was designed and tested as over the course of the year, although it was ultimately not flown in New Mexico. This liquid motor was a continuation of the prior year's Helios project, and used many of the same design principles, and Olympus 2020 is hoping to fly the liquid motor at IREC next year. | + | Olympus 2019 was the third SSI team to compete in the [[Intercollegiate Rocketry Engineering Competition]], succeeding [[IREC 2018]].
