Nose Cone Testing

[chavez]

We got our testing underway this weekend with a trial run of an old printer to do the initial testing. We have a couple different nose cone designs to test. Our sled has a high-g accelerometer measuring rate of deceleration that we are monitoring with our data acquisition system. The whole set-up isn't quite university approved, but enjoy.
