To whom it may concern:

	This is a reply to a posting made by C. D. Tavares in the
rec.models.rockets netnews group.  The posting discussed the offering
of an N5000 rocket motor to an educational institution, with the goal
of having it flown with an instrumentation package.  I'm a member of a
group at MIT, consisting of several students and staff members, that
is working on restarting the MIT Rocket Society with a slant toward
high power activities.  We are setting ourselves the goal of making an
attempt at the altitude record for the sport, a project for which the
engine being offered would be ideal as part of a multistage rocket.
In order to properly record the altitude, the rocket will be
instrumented with at least an altimeter and accelerometer, so flight
profile information will be available.

	Please let me know if you require any further information from
us.  Thank you.
