LUNAR Calendar for 2010Here is the schedule for 2010. Launches at Snow Ranch are scheduled through May and again in the Fall. However the May launch is not a sure thing, as are the November and December launches. It all depends on the weather and the fire danger.
Since other groups sometimes have conflicting schedules, it's always wise to recheck the calendar each month shortly before driving to LUNAR events.
If you are driving a long distance, always verify launch information the morning of the launch by calling the LUNAR Hotline (925) 443-8705 .
Snow Ranch rain dates are one week after the scheduled launch.

LUNAR CompetitionsOnce or twice a year we hold sanctioned contest launches for points in the NAR national contest standings. These are often organized in conjunction with other rocket clubs in the area (BayNar, AeroPac) but you don't have to be a member of any of them (or even the NAR) to participate. You are welcome to join just for the spirit of competition!
Check the LUNARclips and the online discussion groups for up to date information on the type of contests planned for the different competition dates. For newcomers to competition, we plan to have a demonstration and build day at the LUNAR meeting the month before the competition with a demonstration of the competition rockets at the launch after the meeting. This will give you an idea of what kinds of rockets to build for the different competitions and how they are flown. Contact the competition manager (contest@lunar.org) for more information.
