Vehicles Will Carry Engineering Payloads To Altitudes Of Up To A Mile High
Organizers of the NASA Student Launch Projects have announced the 57 student teams whose inventive creations will be launched in April during the space agency's 2012-13 rocketry challenge. Representing schools in 26 states around the country, participating teams each will design and build a large, high-powered rocket, complete with a working science or engineering payload and capable of flying to the target altitude of 1 mile.
