Description:

This project entitled ""The Tenth Canada/Norway Student Sounding Rocket (CaNoRock-10)"" is a collaboration between the Andoya Rocket Range and seven Canadian and Norwegian Universities. The objectives of this project are to provide hands-on experience related to the use of sounding-rocket, train undergraduate students and increase their interest toward graduate studies or the space industry. To date, nine student sounding rocket campaigns have trained 85 Canadian undergraduate students. Alumni of the CaNoRock program have shown a high interest in graduate study (77%) or the aerospace industry (40%), several of them have already been employed by companies such as Magellan Aerospace and Boeing. The CSA financial support will facilitate the participation of Canadian students to two additional CaNoRock campaigns contributing to the excellent partnership with Norwegian organizations.
