POLLUX

Pollux is the astronomy and model rocketry club at Aalto University. Our activities include excursions to astronomical research facilities, sauna and movie evenings, stargazing trips and model rocketry activities. During the school semesters there are different types of events typically every one or two weeks.

In 2002 Pollux became the second model rocketry club in Finland. After that it has organized many model rocketry courses, during which different design and safety aspects of model rockets are taught. After the course you receive a model rocketry certificate, which allows one to buy rocket model motors and fly them anytime. The courses have so far been held in Finnish, and the certificate is valid only in Finland.

Joining

You can join by paying the annual membership fee of 5 euros (fall+spring) or 3 euros (spring only) to Pollux's bank account 660100-3111820. After that email the board at pollux @ list.ayy.fi and tell your name, city of residence and which email lists you would like to join (see below). The membership fee can also be paid at an event to somebody of the board.

If you'd just like notification of upcoming events, you can join Pollux's mailing lists using the links below:
