Rockets

Moonfest 2009 took place on Sunday, July 19, 2009 at the NASA Ames Research Center. This website is an archive of the event; please read on!

The Livermore Unit of the National Association of Rocketry, LUNAR, will participate in the Moonfest festivities.

Every day, model rocketeers take their own "one small step." Join us for our Apollo 11 commemorative launch activities during Moonfest, noon until 2, at the airfield (shuttle buses will be available). We'll be flying scale models of the Apollo Saturn V, scale models of other spacecraft from the Apollo era, and lots of other rockets. Experience the thrill of seeing a launch, and find out how you, too, can build and fly your own model rockets.

Weather permitting, we're planning two special Apollo 11 launch sessions, at 12:45 and 1:45, along with lots of other rocket flights. You can also visit with LUNAR during the entire Moonfest exhibit in the exhibitor area; more information here.

C'mon out to the airfield!
