European Students Get Some Hands-on Rocket Experience

摘要

Some 200 students from France, Japan, Spain and the Netherlands spent eight days at a French military site in July and August testing their own designs of suborbital sounding rockets and stratospheric balloons that carried a variety of imaging and other sensors. The annual Student Space Rendezvous is organized by the Planete Sciences association of France and the French space agency, CNES. Its goal is to encourage student interest in science and engineering in general, and aerospace engineering in particular.
