Wichita State students to test rocket this weekend

Wichita State University students in an Aerospace Engineering Senior Design Capstone Course team will launch a nine-foot-tall rocket to 18,000 feet at about noon Saturday, April 13, and Sunday, April 14, near Argonia, Kan. This is the first time that a rocket project is being done for this course.

The rocket will carry experiments made by Wichita-area fifth grade students.

A map to the launch site is available at http://www.wichita.edu/j/?2143.
