Monroe Astronautical Rocket Society (MARS) presents NYPOWER 27

Sat & Sun – Registration opens 9a, Launch Range operates 10a-5p
Mon – Registration opens 9a, Launch Range operates 10a-2p

The event is FREE and open to all spectators from the public.  We encourage all to come watch and for youth to try their hand at launching a rocket even if they do not bring a rocket with them since we will give them one. Not only do youth under the age of 18 fly low power rockets for free, but any youth that come to watch can get a rocket for free to prep for flight, launch and then take home. This "Fly-it and Take-it" rocket program is fully free and open to all youth under 18.

And the NYPOWER tradition of a Night Launch will continue

Pre-Registration for NYPOWER is now open

In May, downwind crops are very low or just recently planted. No lost rockets in the corn or beans! This is the must attend event at the start of the flying season- recently cut grass flying field, easy recovery, and convenient to civilization in Geneseo or Rochester.

Make your plans to attend the NYPOWER. As always this launch will provide the unique experience that only NYPOWER provides. Friendly great rocketeers, huge mowed field, WWII warbirds in the air and on the ground and a great time for all.

NYPOWER is a Family Friendly relaxed launch where micro-max’s and N powered monsters share the field. Rocket maniacs and families with kids are welcome at NYPOWER. There is really no rocket event quite like it in this regard. Our organization will have you on the pad as quickly and efficiently as possible. This is the event to attend if you want to fly fly fly!

The field is a WWII era grass airfield which is now home to the National Warplane Museum. You have a 1 mile x 1 mile mowed grass recovery area and if you exceed that the staff at NYPOWER will do its best to recover your rocket for you.
