The rocket launch competition is an annual activity conducted within 
the Space Systems Engineering Department of the Space Studies 
Program. The International Space University's tradition of using a 
different host site for the program each year has provided a wide 
variety of launch pad locations from soccer stadiums to European 
cities, and, now the same site that launched the space shuttles to 
the International Space Station and the first man to the moon.

NASA Kennedy Space Center and the Florida Institute of Technology in 
Melbourne, Fla., are co-hosts for this year's session.
