The Rockets for Schools Project has purchased one rocket kit for each Congressional District in Wisconsin and Michigan. Student teams are invited to submit a proposal to receive the rocket kit for their school district and then launch their rocket at the Rockets For Schools launch weekend.
Additional rockets are available for purchase.
The rocket, designed by Public Missiles, Ltd. of Michigan, stands approximately 55 inches tall and comes in a kit that you will need to assemble. In addition to assembling the rockets, you may want to personalize your rocket. For example, you may want to put in your own payload into the rocket. For example, you could get an accelerometer, or a beeper. Another payload suggestion may be a GPS chip or an ATV camera.
