The University of Alaska Anchorage will continue to build a self sustaining rocketry program with the initial goal of setting the amateur rocket altitude record through the development of a liquid sounding rocket. Rocket development will occur through a combination of interdisciplinary capstone engineering projects. Program continuity will be maintained by incorporating undergraduate teams into additional NASA challenges and undergraduate research projects. The program will provide opportunities for undergraduate research and increase recruitment of undergraduate students into STEM fields.
