Goals and Objectives• Student Training:
– provide students with opportunities for hands on experience with design, construction, testing and launch of sounding rocket payloads
– allow students to pursue innovative ideas and solve open-ended design problems
– provide students with the opportunity to work as members of an interdisciplinary and international team
• Scientific Research:– develop low cost, student designed rocket payloads to
investigate high latitude geophysical phenomena.• Infrastructure Development:
– provide low cost test bed for verification of new flight hardware technology
– develop research infrastructure at UAF for the development of rocket and spacecraft flight hardware.
