SpaceX’s Newest Launch Includes Satellite Built By Michigan Tech Students
SpaceX launched its “most difficult” mission to date Tuesday morning.
Included in the launch was a satellite built by students at Michigan Technological University.
The “Falcon Heavy Rocket” lifted off from the Kennedy Space Center’s launch complex in Florida.
It roared into the sky around 2 a.m. Tuesday morning and went off without a hitch.
The rocket carried 24 experimental satellites into space for key customers, including the U.S. Department of Defense.
It includes “The Cculus” built by Michigan Tech students.
That will serve as a target for studying satellites from the ground.
Other experiments include a solar sail project headed by Bill Nye the Science Guy.
