The CIA helped out with the annual aerospace camp at the Chanute Aerospace Museum on June 12, 2007. Campers built and flew Estes Alpha III rockets with A8-3 and B6-4 motors. After building the rockets in the museum classroom, we went outside on the airport grounds near the museum's aircraft collection to launch the models. It was a nice day and a very successful workshop. http://cia-rocketry.smugmug.com/Outreach-Education/Chanute-Aerospace-Museum-1/IMG5099/184777065_pbDH6-Ti.jpg http://cia-rocketry.smugmug.com/gallery/3320664_VH6Sk/ 2008-04-10T09:49:37Z Copyright 2010, the copyright holder of each photograph.
