STUDENT ROCKES TAKE TO THE SKY

FROM:  NASA 

'Smoke and Fire' Rise Over Utah Salt Flats as Student Rockets Soar in NASA Challenge May 17; NASA, ATK Present Preliminary Awards

A student-built rocket lifts off the brilliant white hardpan of the Bonneville Salt Flats in Tooele County, Utah, May 17, during the "launchfest" that concluded the 2013-14 NASA Student Launch rocketry competition. Sixteen teams, comprised of some 250 student participants from 15 states, launched rockets of their own design, complete with three working science and engineering payloads apiece, cheered on by approximately 500 spectators. The annual NASA education event, designed to inspire young people to pursue studies and careers in the "STEM" fields -- science, technology, engineering and mathematics -- is organized by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., and sponsored by ATK Aerospace Group of Magna, Utah. The grand-prize-winning school team will be named by NASA and ATK in late May.  Image credit: MSFC/Dusty Hood.
