Learn to Build and Launch Your Own Rocket!

Interested in how things get into space? Come to the NASA Ames Exploration Center on Saturday, July 16 between 9 and 11 a.m. to build your own rocket and see what it takes to launch. Volunteers from LUNAR will be available to help guests assemble their own rockets. After passing a safety check, rockets will be approved to launch from the Moffett Federal Air Field at NASA Ames Research Center. The rocket models and first engine are free, however, due to time and resource limitations, this event is limited to the first 50 people. After the launch, rockets can be taken home. Please register with your name and email with Cara Dodge at cara.dodge@nasa.gov.

LUNAR holds launch events at NASA Ames regularly. If you are interested in model rocketry, and would like more information, visit the LUNAR website at http://www.lunar.org.
