On a cold and very windy day, we launched only a few rockets.

This month, Palmdale Scout Troop 737 came out to launch their rockets.

At our October launch, a nearby Scout group was launching their rockets and came to visit our larger rockets.

Launches are held the 4th Saturday of every month. See www.mdars.info for directions.

The Reaction Research Society is the oldest continuously operating amateur experimental rocket group in the United States. In the beginning years, Society members designed, built, and launched hundreds of solid and liquid propellant rockets. Beginning in June of 1947, many rocket mail flights were conducted by the group. In 1955, the Society acquired the property north east of the town of Mojave that it still uses today for flight and static rocket test activities. In the heyday of the U.S. space program during the late 1950's and on into the 1970's, the Society enjoyed a fairly large and diverse membership. Professional aerospace engineers, high school and college students, and others of all professions and educational backgrounds were joined by a common interest in the science that was taking man into space for the first time. Providing a unique opportunity to safely conduct live firing test of substantial rocket propulsion systems, the Society's activities were a great educational experience for many members, spectators, and family members.
