>On July 19, 2006, under the direction of blind mentors and NASA engineers, twelve blind students will attempt to become the third NFB team to launch a sounding rocket from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility.  This year's Rocket On! team will attempt to fly higher and more successfully than the previous two missions.  NFB Rocket Mission 3, like the previous two, will change the lives of the participating students and demonstrate that the blind can compete in challenging science and engineering endeavors.

>The first launch attempt will be July 19, 2006, with the countdown beginning at 5:00 a.m. EDT.  If the team is not able to launch on that day, a second attempt will be made the following day with the countdown beginning at the same time.  We encourage you to plug into the Web cast early as the NFB audience has generally overwhelmed the NASA servers.

Rocket On! is made possible through support from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, American Action Fund for Blind Children and Adults, Lockheed Martin Corporation Foundation, Northrop Grumman Corporation, M&T Bank, the Coca-Cola Foundation, and individual contributors to the National Federation of the Blind.
