Cool Mars Pix!

Since you guys are all astro-related, I thought I'd let you know that a sounding rocket is set for launch this Saturday morning in an attempt to take the first UV spectra of Mercury and search for Vulcanoids. Go Big Dog, Go!

Is this the University of Colorado (Boulder) grad student project?

Also, where is it being launched?

Do you have a link to more info? Thanks.
