watch it fly...

 

The Colorado Space Grant Consortium RocketSat III payload experiment flew to space on June 20th on MEI-F3.  The RocketSat III payload was designed and built entirely by students at the University of Colorado, Boulder.  This payload measured cosmic rays and microwave radiation along with pressure, temperature, and accelerations during the space flight.
