1st place winners of the Great Lakes Spaceport Education Foundation's 2009-10 Rockets for Schools competition, Star Splitters 4H Club qualified for NASA's Student Launch Iniative (SLI). For SLI we designed, built, and launched a high-power model rocket with a payload experiment, researching the effects of a rocket flight on blood pressure. We launched on April 17, 2011. Our payload results can be seen on the payload page.
