ROCKETS ACADEMY LAUNCH:

Sunrise through the UC Merced New Beginnings Statue symbolizes the beginning of a new chapter for the launch team as they attempt their first certification in High Power Rocketry. Symbolism: The silhouettes of Gomez’s rocket, named Kyber, and Yael’s rocket can be seen through the statue. In the middle, a Phoenix represents Kyle’s rocket. Below the Phoenix is a mountainous region representing the Sierra Nevada mountains and the Central Valley launch site which the mission will be launched from. In the night sky the constellation Orion with the Blue Giant, Bellatrix, represents Alan’s Rocket. Next to Orion is a pair of maracas representing Cameron’s rocket named the Marocket. On the bottom right, the character Starfire can be seen, representing Angelica’s rocket named Starfire. Finally, the triangle that makes up the right side of the SES S.A. logo, is visible and represents the O3b mPOWER satellite model that'll fly atop one of the rockets.
