<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#212121">Sounding rockets have been key to many areas of scientific research from atmospheric science to solar and space physics, astronomy, planetary and exoplanetary sciences, and even biology.
Early scientific sounding rocket programs following World War II led to the formation of research groups at universities, industry, and government labs and the foundation of NASA itself. Sounding rockets are vital to the development and testing of technologies
and methodologies used in satellite and deep space missions. In addition, sounding rocket programs have trained, and continue to train the next generation of scientists and engineers who go on to play vital roles in larger space missions. Sounding rockets
also enable new, smaller institutions to start an instrument program, thus increasing the opportunities for diversity and growth in space research. This session solicits presentations on the past, present, and future roles and uses of sounding rockets in scientific
research, education, and diversity.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
