Now you do! Anyone can bring a model to fly at the Goddard Visitor Center rocket launches; there are no costs or fees to participate. Rockets, motors and supplies are available for purchase at the nearby Goddard Gift Shop (and many hobby shops or toy stores) and you can even get rocket construction and launch tips from our on-site experts on launch day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t want to launch your own rocket? That\u2019s fine, too \u2014 come out to watch, and cheer on our rocketeers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Model rocket launches are held at the Goddard Visitor Center the first Sunday of the month (some holidays excluded, and weather and security conditions permitting). <strong>Launches start at 1 p.m.<\/strong> and are brought to you by the NARHAMS Model Rocket club (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.narhams.org\/\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.narhams.org\/<\/a>). These launches have been part of Visitor Center programs since 1976.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visitors bring and prepare their own models; a group safety briefing is given at 1 p.m., and models are given a preflight safety assessment. We allow single-engine models that must not exceed C-class models. 1\/2A or A models work best for our field. We do not permit models whose altitude may exceed 2,000 feet, nor do we normally allow glider models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Weather decisions will be made the day of the launch \u2014 to check the status of a launch, please contact the Visitor Center front desk at 301-286-8981.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Sunday Experiment<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This program runs Sept – May and does not occur during the summer months of June, July, and August.
