Limestone is to be the site of a test flight Friday of the first rocket powered by a biofuel. And a sensing device developed by Falmouth High School students will be aboard. For this first rocket flight, the students will measure atmospheric conditions like humidity and air pressure. The Falmouth students’ next project is a small satellite, which will be designed to detect algal blooms on Maine lakes. It’s expected to ride into orbit on a cargo flight to the International Space Station scheduled for March of next year.
