Rockets 2020

This annual multi-day event is the culmination of the SystemsGo program, now offered in high schools across Texas and New Mexico. The student teams design and build 8-foot tall models that will go up from one of six launch towers. First-year students attempt to send a one-pound payload one mile high. Second-generation projects send rockets past the speed of sound. Plans call for rockets to launch between 8:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. daily but the schedule will vary depending on weather and student preparation. The public is welcome and admission is free, but anyone attending is required to register in advance by going to www.systemsgo.org.
