NASA’s Student Launch is a researched-based, competitive, experiential exploration activity. It includes yearly challenges reaching a broad audience of middle and high schools, colleges and universities, and non-academic teams across the nation through an eight-month commitment to design, construct, and fly payloads & vehicle components and corresponding ground support equipment.
The teams launch the experiments on high-power rockets in Huntsville, Alabama and share the research results, which will be used in future design and development of NASA projects.
