A rocket designed and built by students at Lee High School in Huntsville, Ala., lifts off the launch pad carrying a scientific payload of live crickets at last year's NASA Student Launch Initiative launch event, sponsored by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville. This year, 11 high school rocketry teams from around the country will participate in the 2006 Student Launch Initiative May 4-6. The NASA Student Launch Initiative allows high school and college student teams to put their aerospace and engineering knowledge to use in a real-world situation by designing and building their own rockets with a science payload. The program encourages students to consider careers involving math and science. (NASA)
