CORSA Meetings will now be on the second Wednesday of each month.
Everyone is welcome to attend. We discuss CORSA business such as launch plans and outreach projects, as well as general rocketry topics. We begin gathering at 6:30, but the meeting doesn’t start in earnest until 7:00. Our meeting space is generously provided by Otterbein University:

Come to learn and share about hobby rocketry!
We may launch in May, if the weather finally cooperates. As of Tuesday, 5/13, it looks pretty good. Our launch date is set for Sunday, May 18. Cub Scout Pack 116 will be with us, and a Saturday launch was impractical for them (soccer day for so many kids!). We will keep an eye on the weather forecast, and update this site as the date nears.
Do you need help launching a model rocket?
Do you want to launch rockets with us?
Would you like to watch dozens of rockets launch high into the sky?
If you are seeking like-minded people to launch with, need help getting your rocket in the air, or just want to watch exciting launches, the CORSA monthly launch is for you. We are a group of model rocket enthusiasts and want to share our enthusiasm with other people.
CORSA events are free to attend and easy to participate in.
Held the third Saturday of each month (weather permitting); located at Freedom Park in Sunbury, or at a local farm field. Check the events calendar for location. CORSA launches are fun and exciting for kids and adults.
If you need help launching a rocket, just show up. Our club members have a combined 120 years of model rocket experience. We will be able to help you.
If you want to launch with us, just bring your rockets and your motors. Launch pads are provided and participation is free.
If you want to watch, just show up with a chair . The launch is ordinarily from 11am to at least 2pm.
Parking is free and so is the event.
You may wish to bring chairs, a table for preparing your rockets, sunscreen, water, or snacks.
Additionally, if your scout troop, 4-H club, library, or class wants to have a rocketry project, contact us! We love to do build sessions, presentations, and launches for youth groups!
Thanks to the generous offer of Jim Case to use his field, CORSA has received permission to launch High Power Rockets (HPR)! We’re very excited about this, and hope that you can attend at least one of our HPR launches and share our excitement. Low Power Rockets use engines up … Continue…
Our May launch was a great success! It was pretty breezy, so we could not launch anything very high. And we only launched 26 times. But I think everyone who was there would agree, that it was a fantastic day. Several of the High Point Elementary students that we met … Continue…
Of course, the weather is beyond our control – all that we can do is to try to work around it. We knew that bad weather was coming, but early on, it looked like it would hold off until 2:00. As we were setting up, though, the forecast and radar … Continue…
Well, it was windier than we like, but within the requirements of the NAR model rocket safety code – so we launched… And it was a great day! We launched 88 times – our busiest launch day yet. And what a fabulous bunch of kids to fly rockets with! They … Continue…

So, if you’d like to join (or be removed from) our mailing list, please send an email to info@centralohiorocketry.org. We mostly use the list to remind our friends of … Continue…
Our April launch was a great success. We had 63 launches: 1x 1/2 A, 10 x A, 29 x B, 17 x C, 3 X D and 4 x E motors. One of those was a two motor cluster of A8-3s. Our altitude contest was loads of fun, and had … Continue…
Our March launch was fantastic! The weather was near perfect – winds aloft were negligible when we started, but picked up a little as the day continued. We had a great turnout, with many visitors, and we had a great time! Motor Impulse used:1/2A 1A 12B 19C 9D 7E 2 … Continue…
