Graham,

Thanks for doing that. The more State sees that amateur rocketeers are sensible 
people with the patience to work with the State. Department, the easier life 
will be for all of us.

Did you go through OSR?

Thanks,

Subject: [AR] More Open Source Stuff...

Hi aRocket - 


 

A few months back I inquired about the possibility of posting an igniter online 
as open source. After some consideration I decided to follow up with the State 
Department to get an advisory opinion as to whether this would/wouldn’t violate 
US ITAR regulations. 

 

The process took some time but this past week I received an ‘ok’ to post 
online. The scope of the advisory opinion is fairly narrow in that it applies 
only to non-flyable less than 200 newton engines (since this is what I asked 
for) but the engines I build currently fit into this category so I’m happy for 
now.

 

I’ve since gone ahead and posted STL files on Github 
(https://github.com/gNSortino/OSREngines/tree/master/Engines/2014-GOXEthanolRegenEngine)
 under a creative commons license. So feel free to use, study, modify, etc...  

 

I hadn’t thought of using GitHub to post any non-code resources but after 
seeing how nicely the PSAS site was laid out I decided it was better at version 
controlling things like CAD and design files then a Wiki or WordPress site. 

 

I’ve also just sent my v2 regen to the printers and am planning on testing that 
this spring. Once I’ve had a chance to test I’ll post that info as well.

 

Kind Regards,

Graham
