NASA-USLI Competition

‍

The NASA University Student Launch Initiative project is a nine-month challenge inviting student teams from across the U.S. to design, build, test, and launch a high-powered rocket with a scientific or engineering payload. This hands-on, research-driven engineering activity concludes each year with a final launch event in Huntsville, Alabama, at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center. The program includes multiple challenges that engage a broad audience, from colleges and universities to middle and high school students nationwide.
