RCS Engineering team members visit Marshall Space Flight Center

The Engineering Rocket Team from Russellville City Schools, in northwestern Alabama, visited NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center July 28 as reward for recently winning first place in the International Rocketry Challenge. Standing next to a 1:25 scale model of NASA’s Space Launch System are, from the top, Evan Swinney, Cristian Ruiz, Cady Studdard, Katie Burns, Chelsea Suddith, Niles Butts and Andrew Heath. Mark Keeton and Joseph Cole, not pictured, are their coaches. SLS will be the most powerful rocket NASA has ever built and will take astronauts deeper into the solar system than ever before.
