NARHAMS and NOVAAR are the two main NAR clubs that serve the area. As someone else mentioned MDRA, I'll only add that one of our former members just moved up there and got bit by the high power bug again after attending one of their launches.

NARHAMS just moved to a new launch site midway between Frederick and Baltimore. They are also the club that handles the launches at Goddard. Those were indeed cancelled for awhile after 9/11, but everything appears back to normal there.

I used to live and fly in Southern MD but am now in Baltimore. I've attended a few High power launches out in Culpepper. They always have model rocket pads set up as well. Here's the link, http://www.colonialvirginiahpr.org/. A short trip across the bay bridge (MD) to the Eastern shore takes you to MD/Delaware Rocketry Assn, http://www.mdrocketry.org/. Both do a number of HPR launches a year. Additionally I think there's a NAR group flying out near NASAs Greenbelt facility, Model and mid power if memmory serves. Good luck and keep'em flying.


Thanks for these links! I'm already making plans to attend the MD launch in January.
