Marshall hosts Student Launch with management support provided by NASA’s Office of STEM Engagement – Southeast Region. Fred Kepner, an education program specialist and activity lead for Student Launch at Marshall Student Launch is an authentic learning experience – one offering students experience working through the same processes NASA and our partners use for safety and quality control of space missions.” “ Students are required to meet complex requirements and high expectations, literally. Students from New York University, in the Bronx, showcase their rocket during NASA’s annual Rocket Fair April 13, near NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. Student Launch is one of NASA’s nine Artemis Student Challenges, activities which connect student ingenuity with NASA’s work returning to the Moon under Artemis in preparation for human exploration of Mars.

As NASA celebrates its 23rd year of Student Launch, we are proud to help develop the next generation of skilled engineers and explorers capable of supporting NASA’s Artemis missions.” “ Our students share unique perspectives and design innovative technologies to address real-world difficulties of space exploration. Students from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, carry their rocket to the launch pad during NASA’s 2023 Student Launch competition near NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, April 15.įor nine months prior, teams of middle school, high school, college, and university students were tasked to design, build, and launch a rocket and scientific payload to an altitude between 4,000 and 6,000 feet, while making a successful landing and executing a scientific or engineering payload mission.
