RockSat-X 2022

Project Imua Mission 10 involves the design, assembly, integration and testing of a multi-experiment payload that was flown under the RockSat-X 2022 program.

WCC once again collaborated with HonCC on the development of a payload that was launched in sub-orbital flight by a NASA sounding rocket (Terrier-Improved Malemulte) from Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia on August 11, 2022. The WCC team designed a camphor-powered sublimation rocket that was released at apogee (99 miles altitude). The HonCC team designed a camera system and IMU devices that monitored the sublimation rocket’s motion. In addition, two students from Assets School assembled an Artemis CubeSat kit provided by HSFL that was test flown as part of this payload.
