NARHAMS does launches at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center every first 
and third Sundays, beginning around 1 pm. To get there, just take 495
or BW Parkway to Route 193 East/Greenbelt. Follow the signs for the
Goddard Visitor Center. The main entrance is located on the left side of
the road, across from a shopping center with a K-mart. The Vistor Center
entrance is left at the next stop light, Soil Conservation Road. Take the
first left to get to the Visitor Center.

We launch all year round, weather conditions permitting. Depending on the
number of people attending, we launch from 25 to over 100 rockets in a
90-minute or so period.

We also hold club launches on the second Saturday of every month in
Middletown, MD (near Frederick). I can post directions there as well if
you would like.
