West Texas Space Vaqueres
The West Texas Space Vaqueres is now an officially designated National Association of Rocketry (NAR) section! For more information, you can check our NAR page by clicking the image below, and contact one of the section organizers for more details.
Check out our list of upcoming rocketry building workshops, and consider attending one of our quarterly launches - it's a blast for all involved! This project is made possible by a grant from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services (Grant #LS-249990-OLS-21) to the Texas State Library and Archives Commission under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act.
