Celebrate the 50th anniversary of the historic Apollo 11 moon landing. Attempt to land your model rocket nearest the center of a “moon” drawn on the ground. We will distribute free commemorative “moon landing” items to the first 200 contest registrants. Trophies and model rocket kit prizes will be awarded to the top youth and adult finishers. A narrated demonstration launch of models of historic NASA space vehicles will take place before the contest.

The contest is free. On-site registration is required on contest day. You must bring your own rocket and motors, or purchase them at the nearby Goddard Gift Shop. An awards ceremony follows the contest.
