Come and test your rockets before the big day at our launch event at Bishopscourt Racing Circuit on the 14th March. It'll be a great day to meeting other teams, chat with experienced rocketeers and even test launch your rockets in a safe launch site.

Due to circumstances beyond our control there has been a date for this event, time and location remains unchanged.
