Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on April 16, 2012.
The Boonville Space Program just won First Place in their category at the Mendocino County Science Fair!!!! Congratulations to Cali and David who made this project a success! We're going to the State Science Fair in Los Angeles April 30-May 1!!!!
Thank you everyone for your support!
This past weekend the Boonville Space Program successfully completed its second launch. The purpose of this launch was to do some further data collection and testing in preparation for the county Science Fair this weekend and our upcoming Eclipse Mission.
We learned a great deal from this launch, which will help us with the next big mission. Here is a link to a short video of some of the best footage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rY-I7rYXrxA
Thanks again, everyone, for supporting us!!
Thank you to everyone who contributed and spread the word about the project! Amazingly, we made our goal in one week!

We have already made great connections through this fundraiser and look forward to launching the project. THANK YOU!
Any additional funds that take us above our funding goal are welcome and will be used to expand this project and future projects.

This is the corporate sponsorship level. We will place a big sticker on the side of one of the spacecraft with your company name or logo. It's like a race car, but way cooler. Imagine the publicity for your business as we send your name up into the stratosphere. We will give you plenty of visual coverage on the DVD and we're listing you in the credits as a Major Benefactor.

We're speechless!!! At this level, you're inspiring a next generation of scientists and space explorers, so we are going to dedicate one entire spacecraft to you or your company. You will get to name the spacecraft and we will decorate all sides of it with your company logo or personal message. We will also invite you to come to California and participate in the launch of your spacecraft. You will be listed as Patron of the Scientific Arts in the credits of the DVD. Note: If we get more than three donors at this level, we'll just keep building more spacecraft!
