NASA Picks Suborbital Rocket Experiments

NASA Funds Universities’ New Experiments for Suborbital Flights

“NASA has selected four universities to conduct suborbital scientific research that is a new step in reinvigorating the agency’s sounding rocket science program. Managed out of NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility, Wallops Island, Va., the sounding rocket program offers a low-cost test bed for new scientific studies and techniques, scientific instrumentation and spacecraft technology. Launches take place world-wide, including from Wallops, the White Sands Missile Range, N.M., and Poker Flat Research Range, Alaska.”
