Abstract
My technical project and STS research both revolve around rocket launches. My technical project focuses more on the small-scale development and launch processes whereas my research looks at how large companies, such as SpaceX, conduct their launches and the resulting environmental impacts. The hands-on work from my technical project has given me a better understanding of the complexities of rocket launches, even at such a small scale, that I was able to consider when conducting my research.
