FalconLaunch FalconLaunch is the name of a small sounding rocket development program at the United States Air Force Academy . The program falls beneath the purview of the Academy Department of Astronautics . The program has two basic purposes : first , to educate cadets in the practice of space systems engineering ; and two , to produce a sounding rocket each year . The original technological goal of the program was to develop a light ( ~ 100 lb ) sounding rocket capable of delivering a small ( ~ 5 lb ) payload to the edge of space ( ~ 100 km ) . Senior - level cadets handle most aspects of the program . This program is similar in concept to another USAFA Astronautics program , FalconSAT .

He was then appointed governor of Tehran by Reza Shah , replaced in Azerbaijan by Mohammad Hosein Airom . In 1925 , he became Minister of War . In 1928 , while en route to Lurestan to visit a road construction site with some engineers , his group was ambushed by unknown assailants near Borujerd . He died shortly after due to bullet wounds in a hospital in Borujerd . Reza Shah showed up at his funeral in person to pay respects .
