Portland State Aerospace Society

August 20, 2005 launch of LV2

Who we are

PSAS is a student aerospace engineering project at Portland State University. We're building ultra-low-cost, open hardware and open source rockets that feature perhaps the most sophisticated amateur rocket avionics systems out there today.

PSAS members work on airframes, avionics, communication equipment, motors, software, and more. We welcome participation from students and community members. We have a list of open projects that we'd like help with, if you're not sure how you can contribute.

Many of our subgroups hold regular meetings, normally concurrent with PSAS general meetings. General meetings take place almost every Wednesday at 7pm in FAB155; see our schedule for more information.
