Students from the University of Hawaii tested a rocket they made to enter in NASA competition next year.

The test launch was yesterday on the campus of Windward Community College.



Project Imua students designed a rocket which will also collect a sample of soil.

NASA will review the students work next month to see if their rocket will be approved to launch at NASA Marshall Space Flight Center in Alabama in April.

The Hawaii Space Grant Consortium will pay for the students expenses during the competition if they go.
