River Region Rocket Day 2019

Estes Alpha rockets take-off during the River Region Rocket Day event, July 16, 2019, at River Front Stadium, Montgomery, Alabama. The Saturn V moon rocket, developed in Hunstville, Alabama, carried Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin to the moon through the Apollo 11 mission, launching on July 11, 1969. Fifty years later, the U.S. Space and Rocket Center partnered with groups around the world to launch rockets with the Global Rocket Launch event.
