NASA Launches Satellite Designed by Florida Middle School Students
(TNS) — Middle school students who designed and built a satellite watched their hard work pay off as it launched into space on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket this month.
Students at The Weiss School built the small satellite over a few three years and tested it at Kennedy Space Center this summer to prepare for the Dec. 3 launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. Some who graduated from the school returned to watch a live stream of the launch.
