LIFTOFF! The Terrier-Improved Orion successfully launched from Wallops Island, VA. The parachute has deployed and the student payloads will soon splash down in the ocean. We will be conducting a water recovery today.

Student payloads launched from Wallops at 5:30 a.m. and were successfully recovered from the Atlantic Ocean. The payloads will then be returned to the student teams so they can evaluate the data taken during flight.

Students Experiments Launch on NASA Rocket from Wallops

The RockOn! and RockSat-C student payload was successfully launched on a NASA Terrier-Improved Orion suborbital sounding rocket at 5:30 a.m. EDT, Thursday, June 21, 2018, from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia.

The payload flew to an altitude of 75 miles during its suborbital flight. After landing in the Atlantic Ocean via a parachute, the payload was recovered and will be returned later today to Wallops for the students to access their experiments and begin their data analysis.

More than 200 students and 20 educators from around the United States were present for the launch.

"Having all these teams come together as one at the end, and meeting requirements that NASA professionals meet is enormously exciting," said RockSat-C participant Emily Certain, a junior studying mechanical and aerospace engineering at West Virginia University, Morgantown.

"Just being able to come to Wallops to experience things first hand and then go back to our institution is a very unique and useful experience," said Rockon! participant Brady Kinner, a junior studying mechanical engineering and computer science at Clemson University, Clemson, South Carolina. "The most exciting part was working on these parts and finally seeing it take off to the sky."

The 36-foot tall rocket carried a 667-pound payload made up of 28 student experiments from the RockOn! program, several experiments from the RockSat-C program, and 80 small cubes developed by students from the Cubes in Space program, a partnership between idoodlelearning inc. and the Colorado Space Grant Consortium.

"Our rocket team consists of so many backgrounds of people and a lot of us haven't had the opportunity to have been through a program like this one," said RockOn! participant Thayne Yazzie, a faculty member at Northwest Indian College, Bellingham, Washington. "To see our students excel, not just in their school, but in their lives is really cool."

Conducted with the Colorado and Virginia Space Grant Consortia, RockOn! is in its eleventh year, and RockSat-C its tenth year.

NASA's Sounding Rocket Program is conducted at the agency's Wallops Flight Facility, which is managed by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. NASA's Heliophysics Division manages the sounding rocket program for the agency.

One last look at the rocket plume from this AM's launch out of @NASA_Wallops - first sub-orbital launch I've seen out of Wallops, you can indeed see 'em from downtown Norfolk if skies are clear.

Here's a quick six frame animation of the launch plume from this AM's #RockOn sub-orbital launch out of @NASA_Wallops as seen from downtown Norfolk- a real fast mover.

NASA Wallops‏Подлинная учетная запись @NASA_Wallops 20 ч. назад

Wallops' sounding rockets are suborbital. They go and back . This gives us the ability to recover the payload after flight.

For missions like ASPIRE, which tests the Mars 2020 rover's parachute, recovery is vital for parachute evaluation before its journey to Mars.

The ASPIRE III launch, originally scheduled for July 31, has been postponed to allow more time to analyze flight hardware that controls the payload attitude and the timing of the parachute deployment during flight. Our next launch is RockSat-X, scheduled for Aug. 14.
