We meet the first Tuesday of the
month. The meetings generally begin at 7 pm, members showing up half an hour or so ahead of time. We usually wrap by 8:45 pm, although we've
been known to go later. See the Event
Schedule for specific dates. The Home
Page will have the location of the next club meeting.
We start our meetings by covering club business.
These sessions vary in length based upon the amount and nature of
business to be covered, but generally last around an hour.
After finishing with club business, the meeting
becomes much more informal: we generally stand around, chat, do a
"show and tell" about something we're working on, share information about
rockets we've brought, ask questions, and generally just hang
around and have fun with our hobby. This usually lasts
for about forty-five mintues to an hour (or until we get kicked
out)! :-)

The Albuquerque Rocket Society holds monthly launches year 'round (weather
permitting). These launches are held on the second
Saturday of every month, at our Site in Rio Rancho.
See the Event Schedule for details.
We typically launch from 9:00am to about 1:00pm. If we have a cancellation
due to weather we have a make-up launch day on the fourth Saturday
of the month but check the main web page to be sure.
We have obtained a waiver from the FAA allowing
us to use the airspace over Rio Rancho. This waiver begins at 9:00
am, and ends at 4:00pm. The waiver allows flights to 15,000 ft AGL.
Note: All flyers will be required to sign a Liability Waiver prior to launching any rockets at an ARS sponsored event.
See the Launch Site page for launch site information and directions.
