Interns from both companies--representing the future of the aerospace industry--built the high-power rockets and a variety of multi-faceted payloads this summer as part of their experience at their respective companies. A major new addition to this year's effort has been the work of 14 teams from 11 Colorado high schools, laboring for months to develop payloads to launch on the rockets.

For those familiar with model rockets, the letter designations are the same, each letter increase doubles the size/total impulse of the engine. So a C-class engine = 2 B-class engines = 4 A-class engines. The Future rocket, which is an O-class rocket, has the total impulse of over 24,000 A-engines!
