LIFT OFF

Alaska rocket launch

In January, several Virginia Tech graduate students and faculty traveled to Alaska’s Poker Flat Research Range to launch a sounding rocket built for NASA through Space@VT. In the early morning hours of Jan. 27, photographer Aaron Lojewski of Fairbanks Aurora Tours (FairbanksAuroraTours.com) captured an image of the rocket blasting off into the sky. The image later ran on the front page of the Daily News-Miner, a newspaper in Fairbanks.
