Joe Barnard<\/a>\u00a0founded the company\u00a0<\/span>BPS.space<\/span><\/a> to push scale model rocketry to new levels of sophistication:<\/p>\n

Barnard Propulsion Systems develops model rocketry components, aimed at closely matching the pace of advancement in the space-launch industry. Learning by experimentation is the most effective way to gain a deep understanding of new concepts, which is why providing hands-on experience with advanced rocketry components is important for the next generation of scientists, engineers, and astronauts.<\/em><\/p>\n

A BPS flight computer, for example, provides for<\/p>\n
