The Center for Aerospace Education (CAE) at Windward Community College (WCC) would like to acquire a re‐usable rocket to perform diagnostic testing for several of our education outreach projects. Select students, whose home campus is WCC or are currently taking a course at WCC, have been chosen to fulfill the task of designing, creating, and competing  the rocket. Ke Kime Kao Lele Keu Loa partakes in the A Rocket Launch for International Student Satellites (ARLISS) competition and NASA Student Launch (NSL) competition.

The Marine Corps Base Hawaii has offered the use of its airfields for aerodynamics testing and community events. Since safety is our number one priority, there is always an on call fire truck for any incidentals. With their aid, we are able to launch with an approximately 2500 ft. ceiling which is the highest available to date on the island of Oahu. Our Leo Hano Rocket is the largest and highest powered rocket launched by civilians in Hawaii. We achieved this with our FSLP (Full Scale Low Power) launch for last years USLP.



We are looking into several local sponsors and some high-powered rocketry sponsors. Some sources approached are:

Fiberglass Hawaii

Kamanu Composites

Parallax.com

Oceanic
Performance Kites
Aerotech
AeroPAC Model Rockets
Rocketmotion

Hobbietat

Arduino

Fruity Chutes

Sponsorship solicitation will begin with an explanation of our education outreach goals to those targeted. Included with the solicitation for support will be offers for advertisement of said sponsor at outreach events, local launches, demonstration launches, and special events through various means, such as: "over the air thank you to said sponsor" at events where a public address system is available and in use, visual signage of banners and/or posters at launch tents, visual advertisement via clothing or patches of said sponsor on team clothing, visual advertisement on team public Web page, and arranged press coverage of events.
