Current Projects
The Rocket Camp-The Rocket Camp is an educational outreach program for students to learn about rockets and space exploration. Unlike other types of camps, this is a hands-on program where students work with shop tools and build their rockets from scratch. Unique to this program is that the students will be working on the shop floor of a real aerospace company. They will be able to interact with engineers and technicians as they attend the camp. Enrollment in classes is around seven students for a maximum learning experience. For more information and to sign up for classes Click Here.
Pathfinder Rocket Project - We are also organizing a second Pathfinder rocket project. The first Pathfinder rocket was built as a collaberation between students attending Natrona County School District, Casper College and the University of Cincinnati. It was successfully launched from the NASA Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia on July 17, 2004. Students monitored the flight from the control center. The rocket reached an altitude of about 16,000 feet. For more information on the first Pathfinder rocket project Click Here.
