All phases have opportunities for student involvement at all grade levels.
Phase 0 was for developing rocket subsystems and testing them on the ground and at high altitude. Phase 1 was to build the rocket and successfully launch it from a balloon. Phase 2 is to develop the operational capability for inexpensive and routine access to space using rockoons. Home Pag e and Project HALO Executive Summar y for more details. As such, this launch attempt represents the first test for Project HALO to provide a capability for launching student payloads.
