ENGLAND-BASED STARCHASER TEAM INITIATES MAJOR EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH PROGRAM FOR UK HIGH SCHOOLS
The England-based Starchaser Team has initiated a major educational outreach program to connect with more than 150,000 high school students throughout the UK. The prime objective of the Starchaser Educational Outreach Program is to enthuse and inspire the next generation of scientists, engineers and astronauts. The "star of the show" is the company's record-breaking Nova rocket, which at 11 metres (37 feet) in length qualifies as the largest rocket ever to be launched from the British mainland. Nova is transported to each venue and then elevated from the horizontal to a vertical flight orientation for maximum dramatic effect.
