We are one of the largest, and the oldest Texas chapter, of the NAR
(National Association of Rocketry.) Operating since 1972, we have been promoting sport and hobby
rocketry throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex nonstop for over 50 years. While launching/flying
rockets is our primary activity, our presence also reaches out into the community in other ways.
Our outreach programs work with the Scouts, YMCA, 4H, as well as many local schools and educators, to encourage the next generation of Texans to pursue their interest in science, math, aerospace or engineering. And, kids always fly free!
The general public is always welcome to attend any of our launches, bring your rockets and join in the fun. Our members will help you fly everything, from the smaller Estes and Quest model rockets up to custom built high-power rockets reaching altitudes in excess of a mile.
So if you're interested in rocketry, contact us and we'll be happy to introduce you to the hobby.
Or check out our calendar and stop by the next event.
