Welcome to the AIAA Orange County Section Rocketry site. We are based in Orange County, California and are host to a club that meets once each month in the city of Orange (NAR section 718), two Team America Rocketry Challenge (TARC) teams, and one Student Launch Initiative (SLI) team. We are part of the Educational Outreach of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Orange County Section.
On the pages of this web site you will find information, videos and links on all levels of sport rocketry. There are oppporunities listed for competition and education for students and educators alike, nationally and through our own club NAR Section #718. And information and more videos about the world’s space program. We even have information about robotics – right now it is targeted towards UAV’s. Please enjoy and learn. And if you would like to participate, please feel free to contact us – our email address is under the “Contact” button above.
