Undergraduate Sounding Rocket Field School Training Workshop at the Andoya Space Center in Northern Norway: Andenes, Norway - Fall 2018 and Winter 2019

该奖项支持两名爱荷华州大学（UI）本科生和两名UI教师讲师前往一所名为CaNoRock的国际本科生探空火箭现场学校，该学校是基于Andoya航天中心与七所加拿大和挪威大学之间的合作而举办的为期一周的研讨会。两位UI教授将通过教授常规课程和帮助支持学生火箭实验准备工作，参与Andoya火箭靶场地球空间课程的开发。除了这些讲座外，讲习班还将侧重于学生火箭实践活动，以帮助培训学生，同时向他们介绍研究生学习的可能性或航空航天工业职业的前景。该项目的主要目标是提高人们对美国空间研究活动和实验火箭研究教育机会的认识。最终，预计这项合作将发展成为一个更广泛的活动，包括来自美国其他教育机构的学生的参与。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得支持的评估使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。

This award supports the travel of two University of Iowa (UI) undergraduate students and two UI faculty lecturers to attend an international undergraduate student sounding rocket field school called CaNoRock that is a week-long workshop based upon collaboration between the Andoya Space Center and seven Canadian and Norwegian Universities. The two UI professors will participate in the development of the geospace curriculum at the Andoya Rocket Range by teaching regular classes and helping to support the student rocket experiment preparations. In addition to these lectures, the workshop would focus upon hands-on student rocket activities to help train students while introducing them to the possibilities of graduate study or the prospects of a career in the aerospace industry. The primary project objectives are aimed at increasing awareness of US educational opportunities for space research activities and experimental rocket research. Eventually, it is expected that this collaboration would be developed into a more extensive activity that would include participation by students from other US educational institutions.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
