Students at NASA Wallops Facility
 Last month, Capitol astronautical engineering students and faculty members traveled to NASA's Wallops Flight Facility on Virginia's Eastern Shore for "Rocket Week."
Capitol students took part in the RockOn! workshop which was open to 50 university and community college-level participants. During the workshop, students built standardized experiments that were launched on a NASA Terrier-Improved Orion suborbital sounding rocket. The 35-foot-tall rocket flew to an altitude of about 75 miles. After launching the rocket, students conducted preliminary data analysis and they discussed their results.
