Goals
To challenge university-level students to design, build and launch a reusable rocket with a scientific or engineering payload to one mile above ground level, or AGL. The project engages students in scientific research and real-world engineering processes with NASA engineers.
Issues Involved or Addressed
Development of a rocket propelled vehicle and scientific payload subject to the approval and review process of NASA; optimization of flight hardware; low-cost research systems. Teams may choose a new investigative topic each year, previous topics have included moving oxygen gas in microgravity with a controlled magnetic field and an analysis of vortex shedding around the body of a rocket.
