Roadrunner Technologies LLC is raising funds for Space Chile, an experimental Project NM flight. We're building an aerodynamic payload to send a New Mexico green chile high into the atmosphere, test a few engineering mechanics, track the flight, attempt recovery, and document the entire process from launch to whatever we learn along the way.

This project is rooted in where we're from. If we're going to send something from New Mexico toward space, I wanted it to be something that actually represents New Mexico. Space Chile is part experiment, part local story, and part big creative idea. The goal is simple: take a little piece of New Mexico, send it toward space, and see what happens.

I need support now to cover the cost of current mission testing and future testing. I've been putting my own time and money into testing, balancing this project alongside regular business work, and taking on financial risk to keep it moving forward. The more support we have, the more we can keep testing, improving, and pushing the mission higher and farther.

Donations will help pay for the equipment, electronics, tracking, recovery, launch, documentation, and continued testing needed to make Space Chile happen. Because this is an ongoing project, recurring donations would make a real difference by helping me plan for repeated testing and the next stages of the mission over time. One-time donations are also deeply appreciated and help us keep the current work moving.

We shop locally whenever we can, and we're working with local businesses and influencers as part of the Space Chile story, including plans to recover the chile and cook it for taste testing. If this project makes you smile, sparks your curiosity, or makes you want to see New Mexico represented in a bold way, I'd be grateful for your support. If you can't donate, sharing this fundraiser would still help a lot.
