FAR serves individuals and teams who seek a place to do develop and test engines, test fly rockets, test and fly avionic systems, or most anything related to rocketry.  Our facility in the Mojave Desert has launchers for everything from hobby store model rockets all the way to rockets weighing more than 1,000 pounds.  Our static test stands allow you to mount an engine, or an entire rocket, and fire the motor before attempting a flight.  Whether it's a rocket powered by a commercially manufactured solid propellant motor, an experimental propellant you made, or a complex liquid propellant rocket, all are welcome!  If you want a place to do tests legally and safely, or just fly some rockets, we are here to help!

We conduct operations at FAR Site on the first and third Saturday of each month.  There are exceptions, so check our CALENDAR.  On a typical day we'll often have individuals and research groups, college teams, Girl or Boy Scouts, and families who enjoy flying rockets.
