Attention Rocketeers

• Do you enjoy building and flying rockets?
• Need a good site to launch those big birds?
• Interested in model rocket competition awards or earning achievement awards for flying?

If you enjoy model rocketry, you are invited to join the Northern Virginia Association of Rocketry. NOVAAR is the only public model rocket club in Northern Virginia, and is a chartered section of the National Association of Rocketry (NAR). We're one of the most active model rocket clubs in the U.S., with a 30 year history of success, safety and fun in the hobby of model rocketry.

Meetings

NOVAAR holds meetings twice a month. We meet the first and third Tuesday from 7:00 pm to 8:30 at the Kings Park Community Center--next to the Chinese restaurant in the Kings Park Shopping Center. The shopping center is in North Springfield, two miles outside the Beltway (I495) at the intersection of Braddock Road and Burke Lake Road. For a map click here.

Come visit a meeting and see why model rocketry would be more fun if you belonged to NOVAAR.
