Rocket Launch Trials Held in UP for Student Competition
Scientists and engineers tested rockets in Uttar Pradesh to prepare for a student competition.
This competition will have students build and launch small rockets and miniature satellites called CANSATs.
The test rocket went over a kilometer high, and the small satellite it carried landed safely with a parachute.
The goal is to get students interested in space technology.
Test trials were conducted in preparation for a student model rocketry competition.
The trials were held in Kushinagar, Uttar Pradesh, on Saturday and Sunday.
The Astronautical Society of India, IN-SPACe, and ISRO collaborated on the trials.
