New to the challenge this year are teams from Arizona State University in Tempe two teams from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Fla. They must develop a vehicle that can fly to an altitude of 1 mile and sustain an onboard science experiment that gathers measurable data. The initiative, managed by Marshall’s Academic Affairs Office, is designed to inspire young people to pursue careers in fields critical to NASA’s mission: science, technology, engineering and mathematics.Įach student team will design, build and field-test one rocket, earning practical experience in the development and execution of a complex engineering project from design to launch.

Student teams will bring their rockets to the NASA center, where professional engineers will conduct formal design reviews of the vehicles before the students take part in a final, all-day launch.
The annual rocketry challenge will be held April 18 at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala. Twenty student teams, selected by NASA from colleges and universities around the country, are spending the winter building sophisticated rockets they will launch high over Alabama during NASA’s 2008-2009 University Student Launch Initiative in April.
