This last Saturday, students from the New Mexico Tech Mechanical Engineering department launched a rocket in conjunction with Spaceport America as part of their capstone project:

"NEW MEXICO (KRQE) – New Mexico Tech students teamed up with Spaceport America Saturday to launch a rocket. It’s part of the Annual Las Cruces Space Festival that’s being held virtually this weekend.

NMT officials said the rocket was entirely built by a team of nine mechanical engineering juniors and seniors. Saturday’s launch was at Spaceport America’s testing site at White Sands."
