NAR Section #473
Pittsburgh Space Command is a sanctioned section of the National Association of Rocketry (NAR). Since its inception in 1986 the club has brought rocketeers together from all over Western Pennsylvania to enjoy sport, high power and contest rocketry. During that time our club has safely launched over 22,000 rockets of all sizes and shapes.
Our launch site, located east of Grove City, PA is easy to access and with over 800 acres, is an excellent site for all types of rocket flights.
The club's launch equipment can support most types of flights, from 1/4A to K (and L and M with advanced notice), so we've got you covered.
Whether you are new to rocketry, or are an experienced rocketeer looking to join in the fun with our club, please feel free to come to one of our monthly launches and see what we are all about.
Range Guide Now Online
A comprehensive guide to how the range runs along with a guide to model types and how to use the launch equipment has now been posted to the Club Website. If you're new to the club, have always wondered what all those rocketry terms mean, or want to be up-to-date on how we handle low, mid and high power rocketry at the field, please take some time to review it. Don't worry, you won't be tested on this information. It is there to help you better understand what's going on at the field and , hopefully, help you feel more at home when launching with our Club. Thanks!

Photos 2025 (And where you can find Previous Galleries)
We'll be staying with last year's photo collection format. In order to see each month's photos, just click on the image with the month and photographer's name. That way you'll have direct access to all the photos they've taken instead of the ones I've chosen each month. The previous years' galleries can be found using the sidebar menu under Club Information -> Galleries. A few clicks and you're there.
