The RRS Symposium is an annual event, wherein we invite rocketry enthusiasts from around the world to share their knowledge, innovations, and projects.
The RRS Symposium is a now long standing tradition within the Society and rocketry community. It’s been hosted at several venues in decades past, including Gardena City Hall and Mary Star of the Sea High School.
Attendance to the RRS Symposium is free of charge for all ages, as are exhibiting and presenting. We have several colleges which have their rocket teams exhibit and present annually, as does industry.
