Learn to Build and Launch Your Own Rocket!

Interested in how things get into space? Come to the NASA Ames Visitor Center on Saturday, September 22, between 8:30 and 10 a.m. to build your own rocket and see what it takes to launch. Volunteers from LUNAR, the Livermore Unit of the National Association of Rocketry, 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 Airfield at NASA's Ames Research Center near Mountain View, Calif. The rocket models and first engine are free; however, due to time and resource limitations, this event is limited to the first 50 registered guests. After the launch, rockets can be taken home. Please register by sending your name and email to Cara Dodge at cara.dodge@nasa.gov.

Limited to first 50 registrations
