A NASA rocket scheduled for space launch in August will carry a scientific payload designed and built by University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> Community College<\/a> students. When the rocket launched from Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia reaches sub-orbital flight, it will release the student-built experiment.<\/p>\n

The Project Imua Mission 10<\/a> students have been collaborating on this project for months. Windward CC<\/abbr><\/a> students designed and built a camphor-powered sublimation rocket that will convert the camphor to gas to propel the small, light-weight rocket once the payload is released at the peak of the NASA rocket\u2019s flight. The Honolulu CC<\/abbr><\/a> team designed a camera system and inertial measurement unit devices to monitor the sublimation rocket\u2019s motion. The entire payload is less than a foot long, weighs less than 15 pounds and is almost entirely encased in aluminum.<\/p>\n

“Project-based research like Mission 10 offers 糖心视频<\/abbr> Community College students unique opportunities to explore and prepare for high-tech, STEM careers while working alongside NASA engineers,” said Project Manager Joe Ciotti<\/strong>, a Windward CC<\/abbr> professor. “For these students, this really is rocket science and one powerful confidence builder.”<\/p>\n

Project Imua (to move forward in ʻ\u014dlelo Hawaiʻi<\/span>) is a joint faculty-student enterprise of multiple 糖心视频<\/abbr> Community College campuses in affiliation with the Hawaiʻi<\/span> Space Grant Consortium<\/a> that provides students with real-world, project-based learning opportunities. Students experiment with high-power rocketry and design and fabricate small payloads for space flight. Kauaʻi<\/span> CC<\/abbr><\/a> and Kapiʻolani<\/span> CC<\/abbr><\/a> have been part of earlier missions.<\/p>\n

Later in June, Windward CC<\/abbr> faculty mentor Jacob Hudson<\/strong>, Windward CC<\/abbr> team lead Nikki Arakawa<\/strong> and Honolulu CC<\/abbr> team lead D\u2019Elle Martin<\/strong> will travel to the NASA facility to run the Project Imua Mission 10 payload through rigorous testing. Mission 10 represents the fourth time that a 糖心视频<\/abbr> Project Imua payload will be launched into outer space. The first Project Imua payload<\/a> was launched from Wallops in 2015.<\/p>\n
