Attending CORSA Launches
Visitors are always welcome at CORSA launches! They are typically held at Freedom Park in Sunbury, on the third Saturday of each month. If we are hosting a youth group, they will of course get priority access to the launch pads, but everyone will get a chance to launch. Bring your rockets and motors, but we’ll have launch pads set up and ready, so no need to bring launch gear.
Our members love talking about rocketry. We want to share our love of the hobby, and answer all of the questions you bring.
Freedom Park has a porta-john, and plenty of parking. We’ll have our tent set up, for our headquarters. You may wish to bring things like chairs, a table for preparing your rockets, sunscreen, water, snacks.
Rocketry is a fun, safe hobby that can be enjoyed by kids and adults, as an observer or a participant. Come to our launches and see for yourself!
