NASA Launches Satellite Built by Alexandria Students

The Air Force and NASA put 29 tiny satellites into orbit, including a smartphone and a satellite built by students, on Tuesday night.

The privately built Minotaur rocket lauched at 8:15 p.m. EST from NASA's Wallops Island, Va., launch site. The NASA launch pad is getting more use, giving more Americans a view of soaring spacecraft that used to be limited to Florida and California.

Experts estimated that the launch would be seen from Savannah, Ga., to Montreal to central Ohio.

The rocket launched as part of an Air Force test program, carrying satellites that are smaller than many ordinary shipping boxes.
