On March 24th, 2025, Exela officially joined the 2026 American Rocketry Challenge in joint effort with a local high school in New Hampshire. The American Rocketry Challenge is an annual American model rocketry competition for students in grades six to 12 sponsored by the Aerospace Industries Association and the National Association of Rocketry. It is also the world’s largest student rocket competition and has engaged over 100,000 middle and high school students in model rocketry. The challenge provides a yearlong opportunity to gain hands-on engineering experience by designing, building, testing, and launching model rockets to meet rigorous requirements.
