RockOn 2025

RockOn! is a hands-on workshop teaching participants how to create a sounding rocket experiment from scratch over a 5-day period and then launching it into space on the 6th day of the workshop.  This is a team experience and takes place at Goddard Space Flight Center Wallops Flight Facility on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.

The workshop is designed for college students and faculty. There are no prerequisites for participants. Anything needed to be successful at the workshop will be taught at the workshop. The workshop is scheduled from June 20-25, 2025 with launch expected on June 26, 2025. (Please note that June 27, 2025, is the backup launch date.)

Team size is 3 people (2 students and 1 faculty member). Each team builds one RockOn experiment. All experiments will fly on the rocket and into space. You must sign-up as a community college or university team; no individual registrations will be accepted. Please note that RockOn is limited to 28 teams. Teams will be able to apply up to the deadline, followed by a down select.
