Student Experiments Launched to Space on a NASA Suborbital Rocket
Approximately 60 university student experiments were successfully launched Friday, June 24, 2022, aboard a NASA suborbital sounding rocket from Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia.
The sounding rocket lifted off at 5:35 a.m. EDT. The mission is part of the RockOn! and RockSat-C programs designed for students to learn and apply skills in building experiments for suborbital space flight. About 140 students in the programs were at Wallops to view the launch.
Conducted with the Colorado and Virginia Space Grant Consortia, RockOn! is in its fourteenth year and RockSat-C its thirteenth year.
The 39-foot (11.9 m) tall rocket carried 39 experiments from the RockOn program and seven experiments in the RockSat-C program. Also, approximately 80 small cubes with experiments developed by middle- and high-school students were flown as part of the Cubes in Space program, a partnership between idoodlelearning inc., Wallops and the Colorado Space Grant Consortium.
Launched aboard a two-stage Terrier-Improved Orion rocket, the student experiments flew to an altitude of nearly 70.5 miles (113.5 km). After descending by parachute and landing in the Atlantic Ocean, the experiments were recovered. The experiments will arrive back at Wallops later in the day and returned to the students to see how their experiments performed.
The next launch from Wallops is RockSat-X on a Terrier-Improved Malemute scheuled for the morning of August 9, 2022. RockSat-X is the upper level of the three-tier student program, with experiments developed that are more complex than those in RockOn and RockSat-C. -

MesOrion Sounding Rocket LaunchesQuote
NASA will test a new capability for supporting science research in the mesosphere with the launch of two rockets from NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility, Virginia on Feb. 16, 2023. The two Improved-Orion suborbital sounding rockets will launch about 30 minutes apart between 7-9:30 a.m. EST.
Launch updates will be provided via Wallops’ Facebook and Twitter accounts. A livestream is scheduled to begin about 10 minutes before the first launch.QuoteLiftoff No. 2! 🚀 The second sounding rocket for this morning’s mission launched at 7:28 a.m. EST. The launches will test a new capability for supporting science research in Earth's atmosphere.

RockOn/RockSat-C Sounding Rocket Launches
QuoteScheduled for Aug 16, 2023
NASA's Wallops Flight Facility is scheduled to launch two sounding rockets for the RockSat-X and RockOn/RockSat-C missions Wednesday, Aug. 16. The rockets will carry multiple student experiments to suborbital space.
The launch window for the mission is 6-10 a.m. EDT. The Wallops Visitor Center’s launch viewing area will open at 5 a.m. for launch viewing. Coverage of the mission will begin 15 minutes before the scheduled launch time.
The liftoff of the Terrier-Improved Malemute carrying the RockSat-X payloads took place at 10:21:00 UTC. However the launch resulted in a failure because of some anomaly related to the launch vehicle, according to the webcast contact with the vehicle was lost 41 seconds after liftoff. Because of this the second scheduled launch has been indefinitely postponed.
EDIT: the root of the failure has been found in the second stage, therefore the RockOn launch has been rescheduled for today with the same launch window since it uses a sounding rocket with a different second stage (Terrier-Improved Orion) -
