Students from the First Nations Launch team at the University of California, Davis, will launch a rocket this Saturday, May 15 on behalf of a team from Queens University in Kingston, Ontario. The Canadian team is unable to carry out its own launch due to pandemic restrictions.
The rocket launch is part of the First Nations Launch competition sponsored by NASA and the Wisconsin Space Grant Consortium at Carthage College, Kenosha, Wisconsin. The UC Davis team already carried out its own launch at a site in the Mojave Desert April 17.
The May 15 launch will take place at the Maddox Dairy facility near Fresno, California. Due to safety precautions, entry to the launch site is restricted to team members.
NASA to launch new Brown student satellite
NASA has agreed to provide space on a future rocket launch for a new satellite designed and built by Brown University students to test the performance of next-generation solar cells in space. Brown students will design and build PVDX, a small satellite that will test cutting edge solar technology in space.
PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] Brown is headed back to space.
This month, NASA announced that a small satellite to be designed and built by Brown students has a ticket to ride on a future rocket launch. The news arrived just a few months after a prior Brown student-built satellite ended a successful mission of more than two and a half years in space.
