Who We Are
LUNAR is Section #534 of the
National Association of Rocketry (NAR). We are about 300
model rocketry enthusiasts of all ages who gather together to
learn rocketry, teach rocketry, exchange modeling techniques, and ,
of course, fly model and high-power rockets.
Where We Are
We are located in Livermore, California,
about fifty miles southeast of San Francisco along interstate 580.
We have meetings six times a year in the Livermore Library or at the Greenmeadow Neighborhood Community room.
We fly rockets once a month in the winter
at Snow Ranch east of Stockton. We currently have
36 launch pads arranged in racks of 6 so that 18 pads can be loading while
6 are launching. We currently have permits and licenses for up to "M"
series high power model rocket engines at Snow Ranch.

What We Do
LUNAR was organized for the purposes of youth education and
community involvement. LUNAR is much
more than a youth group, however. It is open to
rocketry hobbyists of all ages to further the sport and science
of hobby rocketry within the NAR and Tripoli Safety Codes.
These codes have allowed hundreds of millions of model
rocket launches by hobbyists since the late 1950's without
any serious injuries.
-
Meetings six times a year.
Mostly business but occasionally there are presentations on
rocketry or modeling.
-
Launches once or twice a month. Come join us.
There is no cost to watch and it's great fun.
-
Teach rocketry to youth groups
such as boy scouts, girl scounts, 4H, and Gate classes.
-
Promote model rocketry with
demonstrations and articles.
-
Publish the LUNAR Clips newsletter
six times a year.
-
Contact our officers or check our hotline
for the latest announcements.
