Seven students from the Â鶹¾«Ñ¡High-Power Rocket Team traveled to Huntsville, Alabama to participate in their first NASA Student Launch Competition. Students came from around the country with the goal to design, build and fly a rocket and payload that would deploy upon landing. The name of the team’s rocket was “Flash…Ahh Ahh!†In reference to the classic Queen song and the Â鶹¾«Ñ¡Golden Flashes.
This was Kent State’s first entry into the year-long NASA high-power rocket competition, which consisted of seven events and report submissions. The team placed 23 out of 45 teams. Funding for this event came from the Ohio Space Grant Consortium.
