Yes, it is rocket science

Body
On Saturday, April 23, Abi Black (CHS Class of ‘21) competed in the NASA Student Launch Competition in Huntsville, Alabama. Abi is an aerospace engineering student at Purdue University and an active member of the Purdue Space Program. Collaborating with her teammates over the last eight months, she constructed, test-launched, and analyzed flight data from the team’s newly constructed rocket. Her team built their rocket with a new tracking system that doesn’t rely on GPS satellites so that components would not be lost when in the far reaches of space. Among several entries from university students across the country, their rocket was selected for competition. The launch took place over the serene, green wheat fields of northern Alabama. The rocket soared to a height of 5,400 feet and landed safely, aided by a Wildcat black-and-gold parachute. Analytics of the flight will be judged by NASA scientists, and winners announced at the start of June. The launch took place on Abi’s birthday, and this Wildcat rocket scientist wouldn’t have wanted to spend it any other way!
