United Launch Alliance (ULA)’s Post

We are highlighting a unique intern program at three of our sites - Denver, Colorado, Decatur, Alabama and Cape Canaveral, Florida. At these three sites, our interns are getting hands-on experience building various types of sport rockets. In Denver, ULA interns and mentors are building three high-power sport rockets for the Student Rocket Launch. These rockets will carry payloads from BAE Systems, Inc. interns and K-12 teams. In Decatur, interns are building rockets for their National Association of Rocketry (NAR) L1 and L2 certifications and are repurposing a Vulcan-homage rocket to mimic the #VulcanRocket #Cert1 launch vehicle. They are also designing, building and launching a small-scale #DeltaIVHeavy model rocket. In Cape Canaveral, interns are building rockets for their NAR L1 and L2 certifications. #StudentsRockIt

I'm still scraping epoxy off of my hands from two weeks ago! For a non-rocket engineer but curious person, this program is what I hoped for. The ULA team guiding the intern rocket program is always excited to share their knowledge of amateur and professional rocketry and rocket science. I've learned so much about mechanical engineering and computer modeling. All I had to do was ask, and they let me piece together crucial parts of the rocket but not the stuff that goes boom. I urge all non-rocket engineers (especially the lawyer-types like myself) to take a chance and apply for an internship at ULA. We all make a big deal about space, but understanding engineering and the issues engineers face daily is critical to helping humans get there in the first place. ULA internships are a perfect opportunity to bridge that intellectual divide and become a well-rounded advocate.

Glad to see the intern rocket building continues. Me and our Cape ULA/Boeing interns back in 2016 flew a Atlas-CST model.
